Free Software Foundation Europe
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
control technology.
Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. Free Software
gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt and share software.
These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of
speech, freedom of press and privacy.

The Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kammer) debates in public, as it should. But as not everyone has the opportunity
to go to Den Hague and sit in the gallery, the Tweede Kamer released an app to follow the debates via livestream. Unfortunately,
this app not is released under a Free Software licence. Our Dutch volunteer Jos van den Oever wanted to participate but was not able
to run the app on his device and got active.

REUSE is a set of best practices to make Free Software licensing much
easier. It helps developers with simple guidelines to declare
their copyright and conditions for code re-use and provides help documents
and low-threshold tools to get the job done. With REUSE Booster, we
start to give direct support for Free Software projects.

The "Public Money - Public Code" campaign, as well as the "REUSE
Initiative" made me notice that the FSFE is an organization which
supports the same ideals that I do. I want to help them do more great
things, and so now I am proud FSFE supporter.

I hope that more and more people will understand the importance of being ethical in their digital life and thus consciously use Free Software and that we will have more and more volunteers from all over Europe.
