Check out the great work our volunteers accomplished at today's Free Software Directory (FSD) IRC meeting.

Every week, free software activists from around the world come together in #fsf on Libera.Chat to help improve the FSD, which is a catalog of useful free software that runs under free GNU-like systems (not limited to the GNU operating system and its GNU/Linux variants) and a project of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). This recaps the work we accomplished at the Friday, October 28, 2022 meeting, where we saw a couple of new programs added and several entries updated.

New programs approved with licensing check:

Xfer transfers files and directories over a network.
Fases is a simple coreutils for a fully functional Unix-like system.

Programs with version bumps or minor edits:

Gammath SPOT is a "stock price-opining tool" for investors.
Ccache is a compiler cache, which speeds up recompilation by caching previous compilations
FlightGear Flight Simulator is a free, multi-platform, atmospheric, and orbital flight simulator.

Join us each week to help improve the FSD every Friday in #fsf on Libera.Chat from 12:00 to 15:00 ET (16:00 to 19:00 UTC during daylight savings time). Find out upcoming FSD IRC Meetings by subscribing to our events RSS feed.
