I Love Free Software Day is the annual celebration of Software Freedom, focusing on gratitude and appreciation towards those who work to make Free Software, be it developers, maintainers, translators, or anyone who contributes to the ecosystem.
The 2026 edition was titled Mantainers Matter, to highlight the often invisibilised work of maintaining software, not merely adding new features.

The 2026 theme immediately made me (that is Tommi) think of Bonfire, a federated software co-designed with different communities, and recognising on maintenance work as care work.
Therefore, I invited Mayel de Borniol, one of the core maintainers of the project, to host a presentation at the Internet Archive Europe, Amsterdam, on Saturday 14th February 2026.
We opened the event with a reading of Ada & Zangemann – A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream, both in English and in Dutch.
Kiki was very kind by volunteering to make the fantastic poster for the event.
