We're taking a look at software running on the Librem 5 Smartphone Dev Kit -- something new, every day.
Day 2 - Gedit & Apt
In the same spirit as when @lunduke declared ‘Linux Thursdays’, I’m hoping that if we were to declare the ‘Solstinox’ as the time of the season to donate to your favourite Free/Libre Open Source Software projects, it might give a little boost of money to help with further development and improvements and also show the developers that their work is appreciated.
The ‘Solstinox FLOSS Appreciation Donation’ campaign is just a working title for it–perhaps someone can come up with something catchier?
The Solstices and the Equinoxes are fairly arbitrary dates (handily spread out evenly over the year) but could be tenuously tied into the ‘equality’ of the Equinoxes and the ‘tipping point’ of the earth for the Solstices.
They also sometimes show up on calendars and get mentioned in the news, so there’s a little bit of free advertising thrown in as well.
The 'Solstinox FLOSS Appreciation Donation' campaign is an attempt to encourage users to donate a small amount of money to some of their favourite FLOSS projects on the summer/winter Solstices (and also the Equinoxes).
“Many a mickle makes a muckle” is a delightful Scottish proverb - a lot of small amounts, put together, become a large amount - and that’s one of the main ‘thrusts’ of this as a campaign - if lots of people donate a few doubloons then it can really add up and be quite helpful.
Did you know that you can check out source code for things Purism works on (such as Librem One applications and bits relating to the upcoming Librem 5 smartphone) right from https://source.puri.sm?
Source code should be Free.
That's just how we roll.
It's time for a round of "Lunduke says obvious things about himself because a few people like to make up things about him."
Lunduke is not now, and has never been, a Nazi.
Lunduke is a proud Jewish man.
Lunduke believes in freedom. Free speech and Free Software are my jam.
Lunduke believes in and lives by the ideals of Bill & Ted: Be excellent to each other.
Lunduke has been fighting for basic civil rights for ALL (incl. same sex marriage) since he became a grown-up in the 90s.
A dabbler in many things. FLOSSy LINUXy things in particular.
