Hello to Basel, st Gallain, and Zurich,
we are glad to see your developments over the past year. We would like to share with you an event idea that might interest you. A lot of you have already participated in our annual "I Love Free Software Day". For those of you who haven't done so yet: The "I Love Free Software Day" is celebrated on the 14th of February each year. On this day we say "thank you" to Free Software contributors.
This year we want to celebrate the I Love Free Software Day with our local groups. This means that we would like to support you in organising a cool meetup for your local group. Would it be a single meetup or in three cities? This is up to you! If you meet on February 14th the following are on us:
- non alcoholic drinks - snacks (Pizza, anyone?) - custom made cake with I Love Free Software theme - small rent for a room
This is a small gesture from our part to show how thankful and excited we are to see your contributions as volunteers. You can discuss this in your next meeting and let us know if you are interested to take the offer. We can cover costs up to 100€ but if you have something in mind that costs more, we can discuss that.
Cheers,
Fani
Hello Fani,
on Thursday, we had our January meeting of FSFE- ZH: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events/Zurich/2023-01-19 Our next meeting will be on Feb. 14th. We will meet in a restaurant and want to invite people from other community groups. The idea is a) get together with the 'free' community beyond FSFE Zurich, St. Gallen and Basel, b) take a picture for 'I love Free Software day' with many people. Regarding the support that you offered (Pizza etc.) we decided that we all pay for ourselves. Instead, we would be grateful to take the 100 Euro for our budget because we are very low on money. Currently, we just have 209 CHF for mailings, flyers etc.
Best regards, Ralf

that is great news, that the three groups are meeting together and you are inviting more. I created an event entry. [1] Could you please send a German version? [2] Feel free to edit the text. I would also propose that you craft a social media post in German and then we share it.

It is not possible but we anyway want to help your activities. The ilovefs budget is project-specific, allocated to events of the day so you can still use it to make the event nicer.
For other expenses you can tell me directly what you need. We would love to help as long as we know what is it for and we can justify it as an FSFE expense. Then we can pay directly, for example, printing costs, after an invoice.
Keep us posted and let us know how we can help! Have fun!
Greetings,
Fani
