About us
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!

Agentic (AI) Coding - A Gentle Hands-On Introduction
SFS HQ: The Comfy Room, 4237 W Grand Ave, Littleton, CO, USNo programming experience? No problem. This class is designed for beginners, and by the end you'll have built something real with the help of AI.
In this class you will:
- Build an app like SFS-Go together with an AI assistant.
- Learn the difference between "vibe coding" (just improvising with AI) and "spec coding" (planning things out first)
- See how the same class can lead everyone to a different app — no two students' projects will look or feel the same
Requires a machine:
- Linux is best
- macOS and Windows are fine
- Others might work but maybe better to use a loaner. We'll have machines ready to lend.
Price:
Pay what we ask ($64) or pay what you choose including paying it forward with a photo instead of cashVenue:
Door opens at 8:45. Class starts at 9AM.
