Join the FSF and friends Friday, August 18th, from 12:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory, with this week's theme of adding new entries.

Hi! I'm Ethan, known as Flarp in the IRC rooms at FSF. I was a Free Software Foundation tech team intern in the summer of 2017.

With my summer internship coming to a close and new days on the horizon, I'd like to share about my experiences as a systems administration intern at the FSF.

Many thanks to all the people who donated to us. Thank you for your support. I hope you enjoyed the recent release of Linux Mint 18.2 and the upgrades in LMDE. The development cycle for Linux Mint 18.3 was started and some really exciting improvements landed already.

It is now possible to upgrade Linux Mint 18 and 18.1 to version 18.2. If you’ve been waiting for this I’d like to thank you for your patience. Upgrading to 18.2 is relatively easy. In the Update Manager, click on the Refresh button to check for any new version of mintupdate and mint-upgrade-info.

The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 18.2 “Sonya” KDE Edition. Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya KDE Edition Linux Mint 18.2 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2021.
