Friday the 13th Free Software Directory IRC meetup: October 13th starting at 12:00 p.m. EDT/16:00 UTC

jeudi 12 octobre 2017 à 20:46

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 for over a decade now, it has the potential to be a resource of even greater value. But it needs your help!

This spooky week we'll be focusing on updating older entries. If an entry isn't kept up to date, it can become a zombie, bringing the overall quality of the Directory down. So we'll be focusing on resurrecting these old entries this Friday. Bring a good luck charm and a friend and help make the Directory even better!

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 Meeting pages that everyone is welcome to contribute to before, during, and after each meeting.
