Have you seen this before?
13 years ago, brave Syrian activists entrusted me with their footage to expose the brutal reality under Assad's regime. Today, I honour all who perished, especially my dear friend Bassel Safadi. Your brilliance was too much for the regime, and they took you from us. Syria needs you now more than ever. Missing you deeply today… can miracles exist? **INSIDE THE SECRET REVOLUTION** youtube.com/watch?v=e_SIeljZ…

HBD! Bassel Khartabil would be 45 today. Open‑hardware pioneer, Wikimedia contributor, and co‑founder of New Palmyra — with unreleased letters, drives and notes that could still reshape heritage preservation and open tech. Honor him: edit, share, build. basselkhartabil.org/2026/05/…

The final instance of Bassel’s code #aiki is running on FONTLIBRARY. Time to do something about that and support the users of FONTLIBRARY and legacy of Bassel’s & other contributors. 🙏
Remember Bassel joined the public discourse with his entry into @openclipart & @creativecommons and wanted to come to @LGMeeting but it never worked out IRL. Remotely, yes. He was a major libre graphics contributor.
