### Licensing resource series: The most popular resources for 2016

*From December 29th* 

With 2016 over, we thought it would be interesting to look back on the
resources that garnered the most attention throughout the year. While
this series generally focuses on drawing attention to perhaps lesser
known and older resources, we wanted to end the year by looking back
on resources that many users already know and love.

### Software freedom after Trump

*From December 29th by Karen Sandler*

After all of this deep reflection, the values and the mission of
software freedom have never seemed more important. Specifically, there
are a few core pieces of Conservancy’s mission and activities that are
particularly relevant in this era of Trump.

### Catching up with Godot: An interview with Juan Linietsky

*From December 13th by Christopher Allan Webber*

Godot is a multi-platform engine for 2D and 3D games. It provides
common functionality for graphics, audio, physics, and more, so game
developers can build on top of a solid foundation and spend more time
working on the unique parts of their game. Christopher Allan Webber, 
co-maintainer of GNU MediaGoblin, sat down to learn more about Godot 
with one of the core developers, Juan Linietsky. Recently 
Linietsky’s been working on a new graphics renderer for Godot.

### Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory

Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to
discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth
of useful information, from basic category and descriptions to version
control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The Free Software
Directory has been a great resource to software users over the past
decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with new and
exciting free software projects.

To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take place
in the #fsf channel on irc.gnu.org, and usually include a handful of
regulars as well as newcomers. Everyone's welcome.

The next meeting is Friday, January 6th from 12pm to 3pm EST (17:00 to
20:00 UTC). Details here:

  * <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:Meetings>

### LibrePlanet featured resource: Free software-related podcasts/oggcasts

Every month on LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is
interesting and useful — often one that could use your help.

For this month, we are highlighting free software-related
podcasts/oggcasts, which provide a place for you to share with the
community pod/oggcasts that you listen to. You are invited to adopt,
spread and improve this important resource.
 
  * <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Play_Freedom/Non_Ogg_Sites>

Do you have a suggestion for next month's featured resource? Let us
know at <campaigns AT fsf.org>.
