No Friday Free Software Directory IRC meetup on Friday July 20th

mardi 17 juillet 2018 à 23:47

No meeting will be taking place this week due to travel, but meetings will return to our regular schedule starting on Friday, July 27th.

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.

When a user comes to the Directory, they know that everything in it is free software, has only free dependencies, and runs on a free OS. With over 16,000 entries, it is a massive repository of information about free software.

While the Directory has been and continues to be a great resource to the world for many years now, it has the potential to be a resource of even greater value. But it needs your help! And since it's a MediaWiki instance, it's easy for anyone to edit and contribute to the Directory.

If you are eager to help, and you can't wait until the next meeting, our participation guide will provide you with all the information you need to get started on helping the Directory today!
