On February 24, twelve free software enthusiasts met in #Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for a #LibreLocal community meetup. They shared their experience in using and contributing to #FreeSoftware and discussed how to foster #LibreSoftware in the DRC.

Only two more days until #ilovefs day! 💓 Most of us are pretty familiar with what's considered #freesoftware, but what about the term used to describe software that is free of cost but NOT free as in freedom? As with the past two days, we'll be posting the answer to this #trivia question tomorrow.

You can celebrate #ilove day and help #freesoftware users find freedom-respecting programs by updating the Free Software Directory! Please consider joining the FSD meeting this Friday on IRC. Read more at: https://www.fsf.org/events/fsd-2025-02-14-irc #FreeSoftwareDirectory

You guys did great with yesterday's #FSF #trivia question! We're back with another #ilovefs trivia question, this time on licenses: Which software license was originally written for artwork, documentation, and other non-software materials? We can't wait to see how y'all do ❤️ answer will be posted tomorrow morning. P.S. shout-out to #FSFE for coming up with today's trivia question!

We had a great time at #FOSDEM2025 and wanted to share some of our highlights with everyone: https://u.fsf.org/45u #FSF #FreeSoftware #Brussels
