What we’re about
The Software Freedom School exists to teach the world how to use and why to choose free software.
David L. Willson and Heather L. Willson started SFS in 2013 with Linux Camp.
We feed the whole learner, mind (techie classes), body (delicious food), and spirit (libre software).
We try to have at least two 4-hour gentle hands-on intro classes each month, one 4-day immersion camp each year, and a few study groups.
Our ideal participant loves Free Software, comes to learn with us, and stays to teach with us. Newbies, graduates, veterans, career changers, and enthusiasts are all welcome and wanted with us!
We are a community based company in the Denver area. We want to partner with hacker-spaces, maker-spaces, LUG's, businesses of all sizes, entrepreneurs, and small, free schools like ours. Our goal is to teach the world how to use and why to choose free software and it would be wonderful if you joined us!
We look forward to meeting you and are excited for you to be part of the libre community!

Start your month with your friends in the Free Software community. We celebrate digital freedom and collaborative technology by sharing everything from practical, everyday tips and tricks to cutting edge projects. Build connections while you share and learn!
The Willsons recently visited Germany and fell in love with glühwein and apfelstrudel! Which works out nicely because the topic for SFS's December Gathering is Strudel! Aaron Brown will be sharing his knowldge about a wicked cool coding language for music! And Heather will be providing glühwein and apfelstrudel for your palate to enjoy! What a lovely way to start your December and kick off the holiday season!
Join us in the Comfy Room for food, fun, and festivities!
Thank you to Aaron Brown for teaching us about Strudel! (verbiage from https://strudel.cc/)
