Going to be seeing friends and/or family this week and wondering if you should talk with them about software freedom? We asked some of our #freesoftware pals for advice! (Thanks Alice, @mako @meonkeys Eric and Abby!) https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/dec/23/friendsandfamily/

Is the new year likely to bring a new job? Make sure you have "the free software talk" with your new boss before you sign away your FOSS time. @o0karen0o has advice, https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/dec/19/CPupdate/

In need of a last-minute virtual gift for the free software person who has everything? Let us humbly suggest a Conservancy Supportership! They're one-size-fits-all and we have yet to meet the person who minds receiving two. 💚🙌😃https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/

You plan an exciting day 😀 and then software compatibility gets in the way. 🙁 What if we all worked to make sure that doesn't happen? 🤔 https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/dec/02/disney/
