Hello everybody!
Due to the holidays the two final Free Software Directory meetings for
2020 will be held on Thursday instead of Friday. Join us to help improve
the Free Software Directory by adding new entries and updating existing
ones.
The rescheduled meetings are as follows:
* Thursday, December 24th, from 12:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST (16:00 to 19:00
UTC)
* Thursday, December 31rst, from 12:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST (16:00 to
19:00 UTC)
Tens of thousands of people visit [directory.fsf.org][0] 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 or are simply unable to
make it onto IRC on Thursday, our [participation guide][1] will provide
you with all the information you need to get started on helping the
Directory today! We also have the [directory-discuss mailing list][2]
which you can sign up for conversations about the Free Software Directory.
The next regularly scheduled Directory meeting will be January 8th,
2021, from 12:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST (16:00 to 19:00 UTC). See you all
next year!
