Defy dystopia

In a world where technology is becoming more and more predatory, a dystopian reality seems just around the corner. It can feel like others hold the reins and dictate how we live our lives. Fear not: free software can defy dystopia because you, the user, have full control over the software vital to your daily life.

The FSF has been campaigning for your software freedom for forty years. We can't prevent a dystopian future alone - join us in our crucial work to guard user freedom and defy dystopia. Become an associate member today!

Friday Free Software Directory IRC meetup: April 14th starting at 12:00 p.m. EDT/16:00 UTC

by Donald Robertson III Contributions — Published on Apr 12, 2017 04:09 PM
Join the FSF and friends Friday, April 14th, from 12:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory, with this week's theme of working on financial software entries in the Directory.

Participate in supporting the Directory by adding new entries and updating existing ones. We will be on IRC in the #fsf channel on irc.freenode.org.

Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth of useful information, from basic category and descriptions, to providing detailed info about version control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing info that has been carefully checked by FSF staff and trained volunteers.

While the Directory has been and continues to be a great resource to the world over the past decade, it has the potential of being a resource of even greater value. But it needs your help!

For the folks in the U.S., mid-April often brings dollars and cents to the mind as the tax-filing deadline looms. To help anyone frantically looking for some last minute free software to help them calculate or keep track of their money, we'll be focusing on software for financial and other math-related uses.

If you are eager to help and you can't wait or are simply unable to make it onto IRC on Friday, our participation guide will provide you with all the information you need to get started on helping the Directory today! There are also weekly Directory Meetings pages that everyone is welcome to contribute to before, during, and after each meeting.
