Welcome to the *Free Software Supporter*, the Free Software
Foundation's (FSF) monthly news digest and action update -- being read
by you and 230,509 other activists.

### Help us defend the freedom to share: Membership drive extended to January 
20

*From January 3*

Since the start of our fundraiser, more than 260 new associate members
-- and even more donors! -- have answered the call to stand strong
with the FSF in support of the freedom to share. We're thrilled and
grateful to have received all the donations and membership renewals
that have contributed to our year-end drive. Because we are ambitious,
we had a goal of 455 new members by December 31. We haven't achieved
our membership goal yet, but since we've seen a strong show of support
in the latter half of our appeal we're extending the date to join,
receive all the benefits of membership, and still receive one of this
year's snazzy and secure webcam covers we're offering, to **January
20**. If you are able, please consider joining by that date to help us
reach our goal.

### A message from FSF president Geoff Knauth: Your FSF membership will help 
us build a stronger future for software freedom

*From December 30*

FSF president Geoffrey Knauth composed a powerful message to all who
value freedom in which he reflects upon the FSF's role in protecting
every individuals' rights as they are "enshrined in the four
freedoms," as Geoff eloquently puts it. The message sets a solemn and
urgent tone for the new year, while reminding of us the powerful
contribution each one of us can make to the free software movement.

### IDAD 2022: Celebrating the freedom to share with a new advocacy video

*From December 27*

In our sixteenth annual International Day Against DRM (IDAD), we stood
up for the freedom to share cultural works, continuing our fight
against Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) by documenting
interviews with passersby about their thoughts on digital sharing. Our
interview with Muhammad marks the first of this small series. We'll be
publishing others to our social media accounts and PeerTube channel in
the form of a playlist, and naturally, they're free for you to
download, modify and share for use in your own anti-DRM
advocacy. We'll release more interviews in the coming weeks, building
forward momentum in the fight against DRM.

### Sharing is at the core of the free software community

*From December 23*

In a highly personal article, FSF program manager Miriam Bastian
shares why she thinks the freedom to share is important. She reflects
upon her first liberating steps up the freedom ladder, her work and
experience in academia and how sharing freely is necessary for
research, and her reasons why safeguarding software freedom from
mega-corporations who try hard to limit what people can do by way of
DRM is so important.

### Surprise your loved ones with an FSF membership gift

*From December 22*

Joining the FSF as an associate member is one of the best ways to
bring your friends and loved ones into the free software
community. For a full year, they'll be welcomed into the FSF
community's collective push towards freedom, and your support will
allow us to keep on spreading the free software message all year round
-- as well as for years to come. Plus, your gift of a membership will
count towards our fundraising goal of 455 new members, helping us
start this year off right financially.

### Amin Bandali: Why it's fun to participate in LibrePlanet

*From December 13*

Earlier in the month, we shared a blog post from Amin Bandali in which
Amin explains why he loves speaking at, volunteering for, and
participating in the annual FSF LibrePlanet conference. Besides being
an FSF volunteer, Amin wears several hats around the GNU Project,
including as a GNU maintainer, Webmaster, Savannah hacker/admin, and
assistant GNUisance. Amin is also a core organizer of EmacsConf, the
conference about the joy of GNU Emacs and Emacs Lisp. In short, Amin
is a tireless free software activist, and we are very proud that he's
also a member of the LibrePlanet committee.

### Join the FSF and support the tech team

*From December 7*

FSF tech team member Michael McMahon discusses the team's year-round
jobs and responsibilities, how they do their work in freedom, and how
their progress helps to support and strengthen the freedom of the free
software community. In doing this work, the tech team operates
sixty-three different services, platforms, and Web sites for the FSF
staff, the GNU Project, community projects, and the wider free
software community. The FSF maintains infrastructure which includes
Web sites, streaming infrastructure, NetHack and Minetest games,
collaboration tools for members, and more.

### Fall "Bulletin": Fully shareable, fully lovable

*From December 6*

We published the 2022 Fall *Free Software Foundation Bulletin*. Read
about how to protect your privacy, a reflection on this year's GNU
Hackers' Meeting, what's new in Trisquel 11, and more! As the seasons
change, and those in the Northern Hemisphere prepare for the cold of
winter, we continue our annual cadence of software freedom
advocacy. Sent from the FSF's cozy Boston office, the physical printed
pamphlets have been mailed out to supporters around the world, and
issue forty-one of the *FSF Bulletin* is now also available online!

### New York breaks the right to repair bill as it’s signed into law

*From December 28 by Cameron Faulkner*

On December 28, 2022, New York governor Kathy Hochul signed the
Digital Fair Repair Act, and the law will go into effect on July 1,
2023. In some ways, this is a historic development in the right to
repair movement. However, it passed with a last-minute amendment that
allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to opt to sell
assemblies of parts, which are typically more expensive and less
efficient, instead of individual components. The bill also won't
require OEMs to provide "passwords, security codes, or materials" to
bypass security features, which is sometimes necessary to save a
locked, but otherwise functional device. We continue to follow and
support the work of right to repair advocates around the world as true
right to repair must have software freedom at its core.

### New persistent memory support in GNU AWK 5.2

*From December 15 by Terrence Kelly*

GNU AWK (gawk) 5.2 now supports transparent persistent memory: gawk can
"remember" script-defined variables and functions in a persistent heap,
which can be re-used by the same script that created it or passed to an
unrelated script. Persistent memory makes scripting easier and sometimes
improves performance dramatically. No special hardware or software is
required to use persistent memory gawk.

The persistent memory gawk User Manual is available here:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/pm-gawk/>

A general-purpose, malloc-compatible persistent memory allocator made
persistent memory gawk possible. This allocator is intended to facilitate
retrofitting persistence onto a wide range of software. A description of
the allocator is here: <https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3534855>

A talk describing the research prototype of persistent memory gawk is
here: <https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=tLEQ9pYwsbw>

### 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 Libera.Chat, and usually include a handful of
regulars as well as newcomers. Libera.Chat is accessible from any IRC
client -- Everyone's welcome!

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

  * <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page>

### LibrePlanet featured resource: Day Against DRM 2022

Every month on [the LibrePlanet
wiki](https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Main_Page), we highlight one
resource that is interesting and useful -- often one that could use
your help.

For this month, we are highlighting Day Against DRM 2022, which
provides information about DRM-free living and celebrating the freedom
to share. Although the event has ended, the conversation has not. You
are invited to adopt, spread, and improve this important resource,
including interviewing your community about their thoughts on sharing.

  * 
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Defective_by_Design/Day_Against_DRM_2022>

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