The Free Software Foundation celebrated its fortieth birthday today online and in person in Boston. Forty years of commitment to software freedom and fighting for the freedoms of all computer users.

As part of the FSF40 celebration, the FSF held a roundtable panel with FSF volunteers both in-person and online. I was not able to attend the event in person, so I prepared a video recording for the volunteer roundtable that was played at the venue. In the video I talk about my free software journey and how I first got involved, some of the issues facing the world of free software today, and how you can get involved and contribute to free software projects and help the free software movement.

Happy 40th birthday, FSF, and here’s to 40+ more years of software freedom. Happy hacking!
