We love free software. With much thanks to the talented @SachaChua @sachac for illustrating the reasons. See sachachua.com/blog/ for emacs news and more! #FreeSoftware

A comic about "Why I love free software" by Sacha Chua: Free software is like having more gifts that I can even imagine (with image of person reaching for presents). Each first is a building block that I can have fun with (image of blocks). More than that -- each block is a glimpse into someone else'e life (image of same blocks with talking people inside). I can combine things with bubblegum and string to make something that fits me so well (image of blocks combined with gun; then image of glove). [...] at the end it says, "So, bit by bit, we grow. Free software."

Looking for free software applications for primary school education? We've got you covered! Check out Category/Education/elementary on the #FreeSoftwareDirectory u.fsf.org/3u1 #FreeSoftware #FreeSoftwareInEducation

A screenshot of the FSF Directory. The text may be better read on the website, but it does say Category/Education/elementary, and underneath the word elementary is highlighted. At the bottom, you can see what looks like the beginning of a list with the 3dpl GE, a 3D Programming Language Environment.
