I Love Free Software

So I missed the actual "I Love Free Software Day" (it was February 14. I think I was likely busy hiding from Valentine's Day). So let me give a shout out to the Free Software Foundation Europe's cool campaign to express love for free software and the people who make it and promote it. Personally, without the folks behind LibreOffice, VideoLAN, gPodderSlackware, and Linux Mint (to name the tip of the iceberg), my computing life would be Much Less Fun than it is.Same holds true for podcasts like The Linux Action Show and Linux Outlaws. Beyond that, so much of the infrastructure of the Internet is built on free software that even die hard Apple fanboys and Windows suits rely upon Free Software almost everyday of their online lives.

On behalf of me, to everyone who makes, supports, promotes, or in any other way contributes to free software: my sincerest "thank you!" from the bottom of my heart!
