FSF.org: "Ultimately, the FSF plans to promote an endorsement mark to be carried on products that meet the criteria: respects your freedom."

Phoronix: "Even though Apple's modified GCC sources still reflect the FSF as the copyright holder and are licensed under the GNU GPLv2+, it doesn't look like Apple wants their compiler work going back upstream any longer."

IT Wire: "Social networks are all the rage today and with that in mind, the FSF is driving the creation of social networking software which should provide similar functionality to Facebook with two important differences - privacy and freedom are in the user's hands."

Linux Magazine: "It's time for the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and other free software supporters to stop being the Party of Gno, and start thinking of positive ways to push for software freedom."

If something doesn't work, try something else. That's a lesson that the FSF needs to embrace, if it wants to succeed with a mainstream audience.

Being the Party of Gno, and trying to tell users to just avoid Windows, Cloud Computing, iPads, and proprietary software isn't cutting it.

It's time to come up with credible alternatives or be satisfied with remaining irrelevant to the majority of users.

The Portland Phoenix: "Twenty minutes into our interview, at the Downtown Crossing headquarters of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), Richard Stallman learns that I own an iPhone.

"That's a shame," he says..."

FSF.org: "At the Women in Free Software Summit and the Boston celebration of Software Freedom Day 2009, FSF kicked off a new video testimonial campaign.

See how it went, and help support the campaign by submitting a video response to these questions!"

Linux Pro Magazine: "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the GNOME Foundation are targeting higher women's participation in the community.

The first step is a "mini-summit" on "Women in Free Software.""

Cyber Cynic: "These days, the FSF is spending its time attacking proprietary software, like it did today, August 26th, when it went after Windows 7 in its new Windows 7 Sins: The case against Microsoft and proprietary software."

Groklaw: "Is it safe to go back in the water now, as so many have been saying? FSF says no, that the "promise is full of loopholes, and it's nowhere near enough to make C# safe." The article also offers to help Microsoft get it right, if it is sincere in wishing to really reassure FOSS users it doesn't intend to sue them for using Mono."
