[Trad Gnu] 2023 November FSS for [fr] translation

[Devin Ulibarri <devinu AT fsf.org>]

Hi all,

Attached is the published English version of the November Free Software
Supporter.

Please translate when you have the chance. As always, we really
appreciate your efforts -- merci!

Also, there is a call for submissions, which has a deadline of 11/17, so 
if you can get it back to us by 11/14, I think that would help some 
people who may want to submit. If you can do that, we appreciate it.

Devin

### Call for Sessions extended until November 17

*From October 25*

**We are extending the Call for Sessions for LibrePlanet 2024:
Cultivating Community until November 17, 12:00 EST (16:00 UTC).**

The theme for LibrePlanet 2024 is "Cultivating Community." This year's
focus is on further growing the free software movement, mobilizing
from the grassroots, and building a stronger community in the
process. We will ask ourselves: How can we be a welcoming community,
one that attracts newcomers, as well as continue to be a lasting home
to all the wonderful people who already belong to it? We're excited by
the applications that we've seen come in so far. Thank you to those
who submitted a session for LibrePlanet 2024! If you haven't submitted
your session yet, please take advantage of the extension and submit by
the deadline.

Also, don't miss your opportunity to nominate a special individual
and/or project for this year's Free Software Awards.

### Register to be part of LibrePlanet 2024: Cultivating Community

*From October 18*

The registration for the sixteenth edition of the FSF's annual
conference LibrePlanet is open. We were delighted to see several
people email us preemptively and ask where they could register to
attend LibrePlanet 2024: Cultivating Community. Since we're as excited
about the next edition of LibrePlanet as you are, we opened
registration this month. LibrePlanet will be held, in person, on a
weekend in March, 2024, in the Boston area, MA, USA, as well as
online. The exact date and location will be announced soon. Read the
announcement to learn more about the different registration levels and
how to register today.

### GNU40 USA: Meeting with old and new friends, and some first few steps on 
the freedom ladder

*From October 11*

On Sunday, October 1, the FSF hosted a hackday to celebrate the
fortieth anniversary of the GNU Project. Participants enjoyed
GNU-themed cake, played free software games, watched a GNU Boot demo,
and more. All in all, the event succeeded in our goal of welcoming
both long-time members as well as introducing new people to free
software and our cause. And for those wondering *What's next for GNU?*
Well, as FSF president Geoff Knauth put it, "Life begins at forty."

### The third round of FSF board candidate discussions has begun

*From October 3*

We finished two successful rounds of discussions and started the third
and last round in this candidate cycle on September 19. We were
pleased to see many participate in the first two rounds, and we thank
those who participated for their valuable feedback. In this round, we
will discuss the following six candidates: Alexandre Oliva, Amin
Bandali, Denis Carikli, Micky Metts, Protesilaos Stavrou, and Rubén
Rodríguez. We invite all eligible associate members to participate in
this final round of the cycle's FSF board candidate discussions, as
part of its board process.

### The UK's controversial *Online Safety Bill* finally becomes law

*From October 26 by Jon Porter*

We are disappointed to learn that the UK has passed its so-called
*Online Safety Bill*. While the bill promises many things, such as
protecting children online, it does so by imposing invasive
surveillance on ordinary UK citizens. Many end-to-end communication
services have already said that they will be forced to leave the UK
because of the new rules. We also encourage you to read our article,
published in June, on reasons why encryption is important, and why we
oppose this and similar bills: <https://u.fsf.org/41a>

### California Right to Repair signed into law

*From October 10 by Elizabeth Chamberlain*

Progress was made this October in the Right to Repair movement. We saw
*California Right to Repair Act, SB 244* signed into law, which
promises to give consumers important options for repairing their
devices. Of course, when it comes to devices that run software,
software freedom is also critical to consumers' right to repair. Read
more about this law, as well as how free software plays a role in the
Right to Repair movement.

### October GNU Emacs news

*From October 30 by Sacha Chua*

In these issues: Digital art using artist mode, org-based static blog
generator, listening to the radio with GNU Emacs, various events, and
more!

### 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, November 3 from 12:00 to 15:00 EDT (16:00
to 19:00 UTC). Details here:

### LibrePlanet featured resource: LibrePlanet Denver

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 LibrePlanet Denver, which provides
information about the LibrePlanet Denver group, which has been ramping
up its activities recently. On the page, you can learn about the
group, its goals, its meeting coordination, activities, and points of
contact. You are invited to adopt, spread, and improve this resource

  * <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Denver>

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

For announcements of most new GNU releases, subscribe to the info-gnu
mailing list: <https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu>.

To download: nearly all GNU software is available most reliably from
<https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/>. Optionally, you may find faster download
speeds at a mirror located geographically closer to you by choosing
from the list of mirrors published at
<https://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html>, or you may use
<https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/> to be automatically redirected to a
(hopefully) nearby and up-to-date mirror.

A number of GNU packages, as well as the GNU operating system as a
whole, are looking for maintainers and other assistance. Please see
<https://www.gnu.org/server/takeaction.html#unmaint> if you'd like to
help. The general page on how to help GNU is at
<https://www.gnu.org/help/help.html>.

If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like
to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see
<https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html>.

As always, please feel free to write to me, <bandali AT gnu.org>,
with any GNUish questions or suggestions for future installments.
