Interested to know what the FSF's Licensing & Compliance team has been up to in the past few months? FSF's licensing & compliance associate, Craig Topham, gives his report in a new article, hot off the press! Read it at: https://u.fsf.org/3mk Support #UserFreedom

Does anyone have any ideas for how to better "Help others find their reason to support free software?" (The theme of our spring fundraiser, which ends EOD today.)

Or, are there any campaigns the FSF is currently doing that you think do a good job of "helping others find their reason to use/support free software?"

The hour is upon us! It's Mastodon Hour time (16:00 EDT [20:00 UTC]), where the campaigns team will be making ourselves available to discuss certain topics in real time. Read more at: https://u.fsf.org/3mb Flock on over right now for a chat!

I'm happy to unveil a new picture of Freedo, the mascot of GNU Linux-libre. The picture is called Shopping Advice:

Freedo gives Tux advice on how to clean up for the new version 5.18 while the shopkeeper looks on.

#emacs 28 is out! It's especially exciting for me because I made a contribution to this version:

*** New input methods for Lakota language orthographies.
Two orthographies are represented here, the Suggested Lakota Orthography and what is known as the White Hat Orthography. There is also a Lakota greeting in "etc/HELLO".

Many thanks to my relatives who kept the language alive, to the teachers who helped me learn and to Emacs for making adding language support possible by someone like me!
