Wanted to wish everyone a happy Software Freedom Day. Hope you'll check out the list of online SFD events and recordings from some of the events.

That's why we specifically mentioned Fediverse and FOSS alternatives to get the word out about Software Freedom Day here: https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/SFDMarketingSites The DFF board discussed this topic and wants to continue to reach out to people who don't know about FOSS and the Fediverse. So, we are trying to meet them where they are and let them know about the benefits of using FOSS. Also, one of the groups did a talk on switching from X to Mastodon: https://mobilizon.fr/events/1ab64af3-b99e-473d-87da-7ad07497ab41 If you have suggestions for the web site, please join the SFD discussion mailing list and add your input. The new DFF board will be redesigning the entire site for next year, but did not have time to do so for the 20th edition of Software Freedom Day. Their main goal was making sure that we still had a Software Freedom Day this year after the old board stepped down.

Software Freedom Day is trying to increase awareness about their annual worldwide event and about Free and Open Software in general through an original music competition. Please spread the word. Hope some of you will enter.

I would love to find a cohousing project in my area. Have not found any good ones. Most of them seem like money making schemes. We had a group (not specifically ND) try to create a cohousing project locally. They went bankrupt and the developer bought out the property and made a profit selling regular homes. Most of the housing situations I've investigated geared to autistic people were very expensive. If there was a decent option in my area or anyone wanted to help put together a group to do this, I'd definitely want to get involved.

I liked the Interlac alphabet Easter egg in the Legion of Super-Heroes TV series DVD. I also really like the cat game in certain versions of Android. Accidentally stumbled across it when looking through the Android code.
