Free software and sorrounding meetup - New GNU flag in the making open to suggestions Feedback

Do you like the idea of a free as in freedom of speech society? Are you reading about this concept just now? It does not matter what you know or do not know, there is a chance of learning or sharing at any interactions.

The idea is to meet and talk or show about freedom related projects. Just to make a chat with fellow hacker. I will bring related stickers, and some GNU flags. The flags are the last few I have, I want to do another batch, I am open to suggestion on how to make the next ones. I do commission free software related art when I have some extra money and find and artist willing to do that, I have 4 new GNU stickers I did last year that I will bring with me.

Learning, sharing, just living, how nice is it?

I can not really grasp why, fascist and other horrible people are on the rise, I mean, to me, at least where I live looks like they know how to create a working group, why is not possible for freedom loving people to organize, to have a plan, even if the revolution is decentralized? Can a common goal be a plan? What is more important then knowledge? For some people looks like economy is the answer.

Free software, free society.

It is not just a motto of the FSF, it could be a reality.

Do you have a favorite Free Software song variation?

_ Here is the text of the original version: _

Join us now and share the software;

You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Join us now and share the software;

You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Hoarders can get piles of money,

That is true, hackers, that is true.

But they cannot help their neighbors;

That's not good, hackers, that's not good.

When we have enough free software

At our call, hackers, at our call,

We'll kick out those dirty licenses

Ever more, hackers, ever more.

Join us now and share the software;

You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Join us now and share the software;

You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Have you ever seen Saint IGNUzio?

at the end of the video there is the recording of the auction for the GNU puppet, it is something Dr. Stallman usually does after a talk, you can see that he enjoys that part a lot, looks like he likes the interactions with other hackers.
