Check out the important work our volunteers accomplished
at today's Free Software Directory (FSD) IRC meeting.
Every week, free software activists from around the world come together in #fsf on Libera.Chat to help improve the FSD, which is a catalog of useful free software that runs under free GNU-like systems (not limited to the GNU operating system and its GNU/Linux variants) and a project of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). This recaps the work we accomplished at the Friday, 16th, 2025 meeting, where we saw a couple of new programs added and several entries updated.
New programs approved with licensing check:
- Anubis_captcha evaluates incoming HTTP requests using proof-of-work to stop AI crawlers.
- Gnome_calls is a phone and VoIP (SIP) call handler.
Programs with version bumps or minor edits:
- GNU grep is a tool for finding text inside files.
- GNU Diffutils finds differences between and among files.
- GNU gperf is a perfect hash function generator.
Join us each week to help improve the FSD every Friday in #fsf on Libera.Chat from 12:00 to 15:00 EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC). Find out more about upcoming FSD IRC Meetings by subscribing to our events RSS feed.
