On February 14th Free Software Foundation Europe asks all Free Software
users to show their appreciation for Free Software. FSFE suggests to
take this day as an opportunity to say "thank you" to one of the
dedicated hard-working people in the Free Software community.

"Every day, we use Free Software and often take it for granted. We write
bug reports, tell others how they should improve their software, or ask
them for new features - and often we are not shy about criticising. So,
to let the people in Free Software receive a positive feedback at least
once a year, there is the 'I love Free Software day'." says Matthias
Kirschner, who initiated the FSFE's#ilovefs campaign[1].

For the"I love Free Software Day"[2]the FSFE has several suggestions how
to show your love to the people behind Free Software, including:

- - write an e-mail/letter, (micro-)blog post, to contributors expressing
  how much you like what they are doing
- - buy your favourite contributor a drink. Or buy someone else a drink
  and while enjoying it, tell her/him about your favourite Free Software
  application!
- - give a contributor a hug (ask for permission first)
- - take a picture of yourself showing your feelings for Free Software,
  and post them online.
- - Donate to FSFE[3]or another Free Software initiative[4]to express your
  gratitude. They depend on your contribution to continue their work. So
  check out your favourite organisation and make a donation. You can be
  sure they will love you back.
- - Finally you can help spread the love by sharing the campaign
  banners[5], by e-mail, (micro)blog or by spreading through any social
  network (please use the hashtag #ilovefs for this).

"We want you to help us, to make this day the day where everybody
says*'thank you'*to the people behind Free Software", adds Matthias
Kirschner.
