  RE: https://mastodon.social/@lufthans/116996436896817931 Fun report from visiting Vancouver for those about to attend #FOSSY next week!

  It's not too late to go to #FOSSY if you are local (or dedicated)! My plane is about to take off and I'm so excited to see everyone!

  On the plane to #FOSSY having a lovely time explaining #copyleft to a very nice data architect in the seat next to me! It's always a good time to talk about #softwarefreedom

  uh, so terrible train situation this week ahead of #FOSSY with a lot of canceled trains. Anyone driving up the PNW and willing to offer other attendees a ride?

  uh so the registration numbers for #FOSSY are way higher than the room bookings... the university housing is waaaay more convenient and cheaper than downtown Vancouver and the block expires in a few days. It's nice accommodations and there are cheaper and fancier options. I'm a last minute person, but I'm telling you to book your room now! https://2026.fossy.ca/travel/ (and register too, it's gonna be great!!) #FOSSY26 #FOSSY2026

  Folks, @conservancy 's got 10 days left on our match challenge and $40k to raise. It would be so sad to leave so much money on the table for software freedom. We work hard and get real, concrete results: we're establishing a legal right to request source code on copylefted code. We give paid internships to folks that need them most. We educate students. We support free software developers. We advocate for this cause with our hearts and souls. Please spread the word. https://s...

  I managed to take my kid to the elementary chess nationals for the weekend, without installing or using proprietary software apps! I managed without apps for car rides, hotel, train, food delivery or the chess tournament itself (and no GPS)! Of course I used proprietary javascript for some bookings. It took extra leg work (mostly while my kid was playing) but I didn't even have to ask anyone else to help me with any of these things. Whew!! This shouldn't be such an accomplishment, but it...

  If you're in Portland, it's not too late to attend #FOSSY! The social event tonight is alone worth (more than) the reduced price ticket! https://2025.fossy.us/ #FOSSY2025

  Watching the morning's #FOSSY keynote live! https://www.youtube.com/live/dWrSsrGwhB8 Sad to not be there but @pono is so knowledgeable and awesome, as is Allen Gunn of Aspiration Tech, who are already talking about threat modeling to nonprofits! The rest of the day's streaming is all here: https://restreamer.opensignalpdx.org/ #FOSSY2025

  Hello from #FOSDEM!!! We are getting very close to making our match challenge!!!! We have just $13,368 left to go! Can we get there today? The in person number is updating faster than we can do the site but we'll be checking periodically to update before the end of the day! https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/ #FOSDEM2026

  We're also proud of our member projects (we're picky about adding new member projects, so ones we add are very important for #softwarefreedom)! We have too many to mention them all heew, so I'll focus on our most recent ones (though perhaps you use #Git?)! Did you know that U-boot is a part of #SFC? And X.org (no, not the .com one)! And @sourceware! And Liblouis! There's less than $3k left to meet our match and just hours to do it! Can you help? https:/...

  The high profile #GPL lawsuits @conservancy brings are last resort - they are only the most visible part of our enforcement efforts. We work hard to respond the violation reports we receive, and work with companies to get them into compliance. We launched Use the Source to do more of our work in a way that people can see, and participate too, working towards using the source code we receive to do cool things with our own devices :) Only $2401 left to our match goal! https://sfconservancy.or...

  Bit by bit, folks are kicking in for #softwarefreedom! Just $2273 left to go! Small donations in many ways are our most important. They show that people really care about free software and that the work we do speaks to the public interest at large. Can you help us spread the word? You can check out our Year in Review here below the donation box: https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer#yearinreview

  Help us not leave any money on the table! I'm so proud of the work we do, from GPL enforcement to internships like @outreachy and supporting our great member projects! The number is now just $6700! That's just 53 new sustainer sign ups! Or 26 people at $256... We're so close!!! https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/

  Everyone it's time! Today is the last day of @conservancy's fundraiser! We have about 20 hours to raise just $7,377! I think we can do this! Help us spread the word! I'll be here talking about SFC's work until we get there! Ask any questions you'd like! https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/

  Lovely people on the fedi - we at @conservancy are raising money to earn a match challenge... we're already about 65% of the way there, please help us spread the word about all of the great work SFC is doing - @outreachy internships for folks that are disadvantaged! Copyleft advocacy and defense! And being the home of too many amazing projects to list here (but Git@reproducible_builds@fosstodon.org ! OpenWrt! Microblocks! @coreboot ! https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/ And ask me anyth...

  Eep, just 2 days to raise $34k to meet our match challenge - we've been working so hard this year with great results.... did you see our recent news about the AVM enforcement action? Check out the OpenWrt One? Hear about the DMCA exemptions we secured? Heard the success stories of our @outreachy alums? Played with a source candidate on Use the Source? Not only is that just some of our recent work but there's more news coming soon! *please* donate and spread the word: https://s...
