… and so should you.
Last year already, I blogged about the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE)’s I Love Free Software campaign for Valentine’s day. It is a great occasion to remember that free software plays an essential part in our lives already, whether we are developers, contributors in any way, or even users. Yet the word still needs to be spread about the numerous advantages of free (and open source) software and why they are absolutely essential to a free and open society.
I love free software because I can look at the code, I can fix it when it doesn’t behave the way I want, I can share it with my friends and family, and I can adapt it to my customers’ needs. I love free software for its (potential) technical superiority, and for the fact that it give power back to users.
Today we can all thank all the contributors to the free software movement, and all its dedicated users. However small your contribution: thank you. And keep up the good work 
If you use and like free software, why not spread the word? You could help a project, or support the FSFE or one of its sister organisations. You could tell a friend or a parent about free software. You could try a free (as free speech) operating system, and you could blog or tweet about free software. There are so many ways you can help, surely there must be one that suits you!
