Free Software Directory meeting recap for May 5th, 2017

Every week free software activists from around the world come together in #fsf on irc.freenode.org to help improve the Free Software Directory. This recaps the work we accomplished at the Friday, May 5th, 2017 meeting.

This week the theme centered on backup tools. As always, the conversations weren't limited to that though. This meeting saw graphical desktop sharing software and remote administration configurations being discussed. Also, the conferencing and telephony categories got a shout out during the meeting as someone was looking for video communication programs that they could suggest to their university in the hopes of moving the school towards free software. The topics may change but the chance to talk free software remains the same.

If you would like to help update the directory, meet with us every Friday in #fsf on irc.freenode.org from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC).
