12 | <h3>SpinachCon 2018</h3> | |
d08b5d71 | 13 | <p>Do you ever wish the free software was just a little bit better? As a longtime free software advocate, I certainly have had this thought many times. Enter SpinachCon — it’s a hackfest for user experience and new contributor feedback. The idea is that sometimes free software “has a little spinach in it’s teeth” and it needs its friends to let it know in a friendly way. Contact <a href="https://m.twitter.com/baconandcoconut">Deb Nicholson</a> with any questions.</p> |

65 | href="https://shop.fsf.org/books-docs/introduction-command-line"><em>Introduction to the Command Line</a></em>. What do you think should be in the new edition? We'll be discussing content and process for updating this important work.</p> |

67 | <p>A product of a partnership between the FSF and <a href="https://flossmanuals.net">Floss Manuals</a>, this book gives new computer users a gentle, beginner's window onto Bash, vim, a few scripting languages, and other key tools offered on the Unix/GNU command line. A lot has happened since the book was | |
68 | released in 2009. We want to include new developments without substantially increasing the length of the book.</p> | |
