Re: ILoveFS Day 2026 event - Tuesday 10th February! - TOMORROW !!!

[Steven Maddox]

Quick reminder about ILoveFS Day which is taking place tomorrow at the KPA (details below on the previous email).

The usual laptops have been found (really happy to see Trisquel 11 is still current... only means I need to do minor updates!)

... as have the balloons (and helium!), all the free stickers, the usual budget for free food and drinks.... and importantly THE QUIZ (and some prizes for 1st / 2nd place too).

Spare a thought for your favourite maintainer!

Hope to see you there :)

Hello!

Once again we and other Free Software enthusiast will be celebrating "I Love Free Software Day" on the Keele University campus in Staffordshire. Every year, the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) celebrates ‘I Love Free Software Day’ together with many other organisations, companies and people. On this day, we thank all supporters of Free Software. Together we put the spotlight on their work on Free Software.

Our celebrations for "I Love Free Software Day" will be on the 10th of February, at the marvellous KPA Clubhouse. We'll have free hot food and snacks (inc. vegan and gluten friendly), soft drinks, and a few laptops running Free Software applications and games, so you can give them a spin!

Everyone is welcome, so bring along your friends, significant other, or family of all ages! Even if they've never heard of Free Software before, it'll be a good way to introduce them to the topic.
