Dear Ruben Safir,

Thirty-five years after the founding of the Free Software Foundation
(FSF), its mission is more important than ever, and the organization
has grown to fill that need, with multiple departments attending to
crucial education, advocacy, and enforcement. Our Campaigns Team
sounds the alarm about freedom-restricting developments and creates
educational materials to bring more free software advocates to the
movement. Our [Licensing and Compliance Lab][1] defends the GNU General
Public License (GPL) and the thousands of programs distributed
under its terms, and is actively building a future in which we can
direct people to ethical hardware of any kind through the [Respects
Your Freedom][2] (RYF) program.

[1]: https://www.fsf.org/licensing
[2]: https://ryf.fsf.org/

Free software is first and foremost about ethical principles. But we
also want everyone to be able to actually live in freedom, and to
demonstrate the way free software can be technically excellent. This
work is supported by our talented Tech Team, who provide dedicated
"bare metal" and virtual machines for the daily operations of the GNU
Project and other free software communities, including Web hosting,
mailing lists, software repositories, and compiling and testing
software packages. The FSF Tech Team is also building a [free
collaboration site][3], which will assist free software projects and
developers with being able to share their code, as always, in full
freedom.

[3]: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/sysadmin/coming-soon-a-new-site-for-fully-free-collaboration

We are so grateful for our community, who have stood with the FSF to
demand change for the past thirty-five years. And as we celebrate the
FSF's birthday week, we reflect upon the changes that we are all
fighting for. Change is necessary, because people view and experience
the world through technology, and that view is obstructed by the lens
that proprietary software corporations try to force us to look
through.

We couldn't let thirty-five years of free software accomplishments
pass without a celebration with, and for, the community that has made
this happen. Traditionally, we would celebrate such a milestone in
person, but for this exceptional [coral anniversary][4] of the FSF, we
had to get creative.

## Birthday event program for Friday, October 9th

This Friday, October 9th, from 12:00 EDT (16:00 UTC) until 17:00
(21:00 UTC), we will host a fun and informative live event with guests
from all over the world, to discuss the future of free software and
learn from their experiences in different fields driving free software
forward. You can find the [full program][5] on the FSF Web site, but
here are some of the highlights we are looking forward to:

[5]: https://fsf.org/events/fsf35

* We invited illustrator and artist [David Revoy][6], who also
designed our beautiful coral anniversary artwork, to join us and
talk about his artwork, the challenges of design in free software,
and his work with *Pepper & Carrot*. You can join us in the IRC #fsf
channel on [Freenode][7] to ask him questions as well!

[6]: https://www.davidrevoy.com/
[7]: https://webchat.freenode.net/

* We count on federated social media to keep developing our ethical
social experience online, so we asked Pouhiou, co-director of
[Framasoft][8], to have a conversation with us about what a program
like video sharing platform [Peertube][9] can mean for the future,
and the importance and challenges of moderating a server.

[8]: https://framasoft.org/en/
[9]: https://joinpeertube.org/en/

* We will also be joined by Eda Nano, board member at [April][10] in
France, who can elaborate on developments of free software in
France, and talk about collaboration between organizations.

[10]: https://www.april.org/en

* A segment focusing on the challenges and successes of local free
software activism worldwide will welcome organizers from free
software groups large and small, including long-time LibrePlanet
speaker [Italo Vignoli][11] from The Document Foundation, located in
Italy, and Bonnie Mehring, [Free Software Foundation Europe][12]'s junior project manager.

[11]: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/libreoffice-s-tenth-anniversary-the-many-faces-of-a-global-free-software-community/
[12]: https://fsfe.org/

* Also, be sure to join us for short talks from FSF president Geoffrey
Knauth, executive director John Sullivan, and FSF founder Richard
Stallman on the last thirty-five years of software freedom, and what
the future holds for the FSF.

It is promising to be a fun, educational, and entertaining event. You
can join us via [fsf.org][13], and join the conversation with our
speakers live through IRC on Freenode in the #fsf channel; we'll make
sure we put the link up prominently on our homepage as well. You can
also join the online experience by sending in [your own video][14]
commemorating the occasion, following [the instructions][15] on the
LibrePlanet wiki.

[14]: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/fsf-at-35-join-us-in-celebrating-the-incredible-community
[15]: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Video_upload_instructions

This birthday celebration is gratis, and all of our speakers are
volunteering their time to create a joyous event where we can share
our experiences and knowledge together. The [LibrePlanet safe space
policy][16] will be followed throughout the event, so please make sure
you read it. If this online experience is anything like [LibrePlanet
2020][17], we will have a wonderful event, and we can't wait to see
everyone online.

## Support the FSF and get an anniversary pin

If you can, please support our work for this celebration. With your
help, we can effect major change! You can show your support for the
future of free software by [donating][18] $35 or more to the FSF
during this birthday week to get a free anniversary pin (while stocks
last). You can also support free software by purchasing David's
magnificent design on a T-shirt or poster through the [GNU Press
Shop][19].

[18]: https://my.fsf.org/donate?pk_campaign=bday&pk_source=program
[19]: https://shop.fsf.org?pk_campaign=bday&pk_source=program

We hope to see you this Friday, October 9th, to help us celebrate!

In freedom,

Zoë Kooyman

speakers live through IRC on Freenode in the #fsf channel; we'll make
sure we put the link up prominently on our homepage as well. You can
also join the online experience by sending in your own video
commemorating the occasion, following the instructions on the
LibrePlanet wiki.

This birthday celebration is gratis, and all of our speakers are
volunteering their time to create a joyous event where we can share
our experiences and knowledge together. The LibrePlanet safe space
policy will be followed throughout the event, so please make sure
you read it. If this online experience is anything like LibrePlanet
2020, we will have a wonderful event, and we can't wait to see
everyone online.

Support the FSF and get an anniversary pin

If you can, please support our work for this celebration. With your
help, we can effect major change! You can show your support for the
future of free software by donating $35 or more to the FSF
during this birthday week to get a free anniversary pin (while stocks
last). You can also support free software by purchasing David's
magnificent design on a T-shirt or poster through the GNU Press
Shop.

We hope to see you this Friday, October 9th, to help us celebrate!

In freedom,

Zoë Kooyman

Dear Ruben Safir,

Thirty-five years after the founding of the Free Software Foundation
(FSF), its mission is more important than ever, and the organization
has grown to fill that need, with multiple departments attending to
crucial education, advocacy, and enforcement. Our Campaigns Team
sounds the alarm about freedom-restricting developments and creates
educational materials to bring more free software advocates to the
movement. Our [Licensing and Compliance Lab][1] defends the GNU General
Public License (GPL) and the thousands of programs distributed
under its terms, and is actively building a future in which we can
direct people to ethical hardware of any kind through the [Respects
Your Freedom][2] (RYF) program.

[2]: https://ryf.fsf.org/

Free software is first and foremost about ethical principles. But we
also want everyone to be able to actually live in freedom, and to
demonstrate the way free software can be technically excellent. This
work is supported by our talented Tech Team, who provide dedicated
"bare metal" and virtual machines for the daily operations of the GNU
Project and other free software communities, including Web hosting,
mailing lists, software repositories, and compiling and testing
software packages. The FSF Tech Team is also building a [free
collaboration site][3], which will assist free software projects and
developers with being able to share their code, as always, in full
freedom.

[3]: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/sysadmin/coming-soon-a-new-site-for-fully-free-collaboration

We are so grateful for our community, who have stood with the FSF to
demand change for the past thirty-five years. And as we celebrate the
FSF's birthday week, we reflect upon the changes that we are all
fighting for. Change is necessary, because people view and experience
the world through technology, and that view is obstructed by the lens
that proprietary software corporations try to force us to look
through.

We couldn't let thirty-five years of free software accomplishments
pass without a celebration with, and for, the community that has made
this happen. Traditionally, we would celebrate such a milestone in
person, but for this exceptional [coral anniversary][4] of the FSF, we
had to get creative.

## Birthday event program for Friday, October 9th

This Friday, October 9th, from 12:00 EDT (16:00 UTC) until 17:00
(21:00 UTC), we will host a fun and informative live event with guests
from all over the world, to discuss the future of free software and
learn from their experiences in different fields driving free software
forward. You can find the [full program][5] on the FSF Web site, but
here are some of the highlights we are looking forward to:

[5]: https://fsf.org/events/fsf35

* We invited illustrator and artist [David Revoy][6], who also
designed our beautiful coral anniversary artwork, to join us and
talk about his artwork, the challenges of design in free software,
and his work with *Pepper & Carrot*. You can join us in the IRC #fsf
channel on [Freenode][7] to ask him questions as well!

[6]: https://www.davidrevoy.com/
[7]: https://webchat.freenode.net/

* We count on federated social media to keep developing our ethical
social experience online, so we asked Pouhiou, co-director of
[Framasoft][8], to have a conversation with us about what a program
like video sharing platform [Peertube][9] can mean for the future,
and the importance and challenges of moderating a server.

[8]: https://framasoft.org/en/
[9]: https://joinpeertube.org/en/

* We will also be joined by Eda Nano, board member at [April][10] in
France, who can elaborate on developments of free software in
France, and talk about collaboration between organizations.

[10]: https://www.april.org/en

* A segment focusing on the challenges and successes of local free
software activism worldwide will welcome organizers from free
software groups large and small, including long-time LibrePlanet
speaker [Italo Vignoli][11] from The Document Foundation, located in
Italy, and Bonnie Mehring, [Free Software Foundation Europe][12]'s junior project manager.

[11]: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/libreoffice-s-tenth-anniversary-the-many-faces-of-a-global-free-software-community/
[12]: https://fsfe.org/

* Also, be sure to join us for short talks from FSF president Geoffrey
Knauth, executive director John Sullivan, and FSF founder Richard
Stallman on the last thirty-five years of software freedom, and what
the future holds for the FSF.

It is promising to be a fun, educational, and entertaining event. You
can join us via [fsf.org][13], and join the conversation with our
speakers live through IRC on Freenode in the #fsf channel; we'll make
sure we put the link up prominently on our homepage as well. You can
also join the online experience by sending in [your own video][14]
commemorating the occasion, following [the instructions][15] on the
LibrePlanet wiki.
