Free Software Foundation Europe
Vapaiden ohjelmistojen säätiö Euroopassa
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) on vapaille ohjelmistoille omistautunut, voittoa tavoittelematon ja joissain maissa hyväntekeväisyysluokituksen saanut järjestö. FSFE:n näkemyksen mukaan vapaudet käyttää, tutkia, jakaa ja parantaa ohjelmia ovat elintärkeitä informaatioajan tasa-arvoisille osallistumismahdollisuuksille. Teemme töitä ohjelmien vapauden ymmärtämisen ja tuen eteen politiikan ja lakien saralla sekä yleisemmin yhteiskunnassa. Kannatamme myös näitä vapauksia digitaalisessa yhteiskunnassa kaikille tarjoavien teknologioiden, kuten GNU/Linux-käyttöjärjestelmän, kehittämistä.
FSFE:n olemassaolon ovat mahdollistaneet toimintaamme osallistuneet vapaaehtoiset, etenkin FSFE:n Fellowship-jäsenet. Eräs tapa auttaa on liittyä nyt, ja kannustaa muitakin liittymään.
