Dear Free Software Supporter,

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 Free Software Foundation's (FSF) cozy
Boston office, the physical printed pamphlets have been mailed out to
supporters around the world, and issue forty-one of the *Free Software
Foundation Bulletin* is now also [available online][1]!

In this issue of the *Bulletin*, you'll learn about:

* How to [protect your freedom and manage your privacy][2], including
what free software applications are available for reproductive
health;

* [What happened][3] at the GNU Hackers' Meeting 2022 in Turkey in a
warm and sincere report by one of the volunteer organizers;

* How [assigning copyright to the FSF][4] helps support the broader
movement for software freedom;

* [Charting a course to a free world][5] and what a free software
world could look like;

* New features, new art, and what has gone into the making of the
[upcoming release of Trisquel 11][6], codenamed Aramo, with article
contributions by Trisquel's lead maintainer, Rubén Rodríguez.

The printed version already sent to over 12,000 supporters, and we
expect this issue of the *Bulletin* to be very helpful in spreading
the word of free software. If you know anyone who is seeking freedom
in their digital life, **please share** -- share *freely*. It is,
after all, licensed under a [free license][7], one that proudly
affords readers the freedom to share.

*Note: To unsubscribe from receiving a copy of the printed bulletin,
please send <[email protected]> an email saying "No snail mail."*

Speaking of the "freedom to share," the FSF is currently in its
year-end fundraiser focused on this important freedom. For
thirty-seven years, the FSF has been protecting the freedom to share,
and we are inviting anyone who is not already a member to consider
joining before December 31 so that they may be a part of our sharing
community and the effort to defend the freedom to share.

**Can you join this effort as an [FSF associate member][17]?** You can
start for as little as $10 per month ($5 for students), or $120 per
year. With your support, we can continue to show people how the
freedom to share can affect change in all areas where software touches
modern life. Besides that, your membership gives strength to the
*idea* of free software. Plus, your membership will count towards
achieving our [fall goal of 455 new associate members][13] before
December 31, and you will be eligible for this year's snazzy and
secure webcam cover when you join as an annual associate member at
$120 or more. As of this writing, we are a little over a hundred
members toward are goal, with about 350 more to go by the end of the
year. By joining, you'll also be able to enjoy all the [member
benefits][16], which include merchandise discounts, a 16GB bootable
membership card, and use of our associate member videoconferencing
server. Membership dues help fund, among many other things,
publications such as the *FSF Bulletin*, which reaches tens of
thousands of people every year. Plus, your support helps the FSF
remain proudly independent, to nurture the [GNU Project][8], to
[certify freedom-respecting electronics][9], to host the [annual
LibrePlanet][10] conference, and to [battle the practice of Digital
Restrictions Management (DRM)][11].

Did you also receive the printed *Bulletin* in the mail? If so, please
let us know when it arrives and help to get the word out by sharing a
picture of your copy with the hashtag #fsfbulletin! We love seeing how
far these little pamphlets travel -- and free software is necessary in
every nook and cranny of the globe.

Happy hacking,

Devin Ulibarri
Outreach & Communications Coordinator
