Volunteer Engagement Activities
Since its foundation in
2001, the FSFE has been working every single day to further software
freedom in Europe and beyond. Beside the activities below, a large part
of our work consists of continuous engagement and background work
contributing at events and answering
questions and enquiries around software freedom.
Our vision: that people enjoy to contribute to FSFE and feel
empowered and effective.

Frequentemente subestimamos o poder dum simpre >obrigado. Contribuidores(as) do Software Livre fazem um importante trabalho para nossa sociedade e merecem atenção. O dia do "Eu amo o Software Livre" em 14 de fevereiro [Dia de São valentim e Dia dos(as) Namorados(as) em certos países] é a oportunidade perfeita para que você expresse sua gratidão especial. Desde 2010, temos celebrado esse maravilhoso evento anual com uma comunidade diversa e sempre crescente. ♥ ♥ ♥

This year, the FSFE turns 25 and we celebrate it on the 18th and
19th of July in Kraków. In this activity you will find and overview of
the agenda of the event, filled with talks, networking, and
plenty of fun.
More Volunteer Engagement Activities

Em 2021, a Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) completou 20. Esse tempo todo temos empoderados usuários(as) para usar, estudar, compartilhar e incrementar software. Em 20 anos de FSFE, agradecemos todas as pessoas que nos ajudaram ao longo desse caminho. Aqui você encontrará entrevistas discutindo o progresso da FSFE bem como aspectos tecnológicos. Seja bem-vindo(a) para comemorar conosco!
FOSS4SMEs was a two-year collaborative Erasmus+ project to spread and
increase knowledge about Free Software. The FSFE collaborate with the other
partners to develop free online educational resources for managers and
employees of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The Brave GNU World was a monthly column published from 1999 to 2004,
addressed at both technical and non-technical readers. Its aim was to
provide an insight into current projects and developments based on the
Free Software philosophy. The Brave GNU World was translated into 9
languages, making it probably the most widely distributed monthly column
in the world.
The GNU Business Network had the vision to network all companies,
developers and users in and around Free Software in a way that the
potential synergies are encouraged and informed decisions become possible.
The TUX&GNU@school column was a regular column about Free
Software in education written by by Mario Fux. It informed about
educational Free Software, useful web sites on the topic and
other interesting topics for teachers, students and all software
freedom advocates.
Free Software is often referred to as "Open Source". But we are
convinced that Free Software is the better term: easier to
understand, harder to abuse, well-defined, providing additional
value, and offering freedom. We connected companies,
organisations and even co-founders of the Open Source movement
that prefer to use the term Free Software.
