The spirit of the free/libre software movement is based on the freedom of it's community.
 
We all around the world we help anyone without consideration, so that everyone can be liberated from their burden of chains that non-free software imposed on them.
 
 
 
If you too want to help people take back their freedoms, to liberate them from unethical restrains, please join us now and share your time to maintain software that was orphaned by their maintainers or to maintain the free software directories so that people could easily find, take back and defend their freedoms.
