Software Freedom Podcast
January is a busy month. We all come back from our relaxing (or in some cases rather stressful) holidays and what best to do with all the energy the New Year brings along? Of course, we have to advocate for Free Software! One way is advocating for the representation of Free Software in the initiatives the European Union is working.

As 2026 begins, we are excited to see the projects from the new edition of YH4F, kicking off this month, and to start preparing for FOSDEM! At the same time, we are looking back at the last month of 2025: from 39c3 in Hamburg to our two latest Software Freedom Podcast episodes, and our updates on the Cyber Resilience Act and our work in the Apple v. European Commission litigation.

I believe Free Software needs a voice at the national as well as the EU level in politics: Software does not exist in an isolated bubble, it's heavily dependent on the ecosystem that it lives in. In my opinion Free Software as well as open standards are key to creating a society that provides equal access.

Soy socio de la FSFE porque quiere mantener su trabajo de promocionar el Software Libre. Como persona que usa ordenadores intensivamente todos los días, me preocupa mucho la tendencia actual hacia el bloqueo de la informática, que aleja el control de los usuarios. Esto cada vez es más problemático ya que las vidas de las personas dependen más y más de los ordenadores, para comunicaciones personales, gestión de su economía, empleo, etc. El Software Libre es un requisito necesario para mantener el control de tu informática.
What is the biggest benefit of Free Software? Freedom!
