onFOSS-LAN is a online, "Free (as Freedom) and Open Source" LAN-Party hosted by hribhrib. The goal is to get people together, enjoying the art of computer games and having a great time in these days. The FOSS community is a place of being open minded and acceptance to all different kinds of people with the focus of fully transparent systems and protecting individuals. So it does not matter if you are on Windows, Mac or Linux and it is also NOT necessary to have a PC MASTERRACE setup to run those games.
This concept was originally started at hribhrib.at
Next event is Saturday 19 March 2022, 14:00 UTC, see schedule.
Additionally, I am running a fundraiser to help the people suffering from the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦. I will match your donation (up to $500 total) and additionally, the government of Canada 🇨🇦 will match mine until 18 March. So, that's triple the value for any donation you make. It doesn't have to be to the Canadian Red Cross, you probably have a local equivalent.
UPDATE (2022-03-08): Canada reached the $10M already so they are not doubling anymore. I'll still double but this means your amount won't count as triple anymore.
UPDATE (2022-03-13): Canada increased the limit to $30M, so any donation you make is once again tripled.
UPDATE (2022-03-14): Oh, never mind, this goal has already been reached. Anyway, I'll still match what you donate!
Donations are based on the honour system since dealing with money is complicated. Just let me know what you donated and I'll match. I'll post the donations here as the come in. You can be anonymous if you want or keep the amount secret. Contact me over Matrix, e-mail or in the Matrix/XMPP channels listed below.
You can also use this form. Simply don't fill in your name if you wish to remain anonymous.
