Dit heeft niet alleen geleid tot belangrijke discussies met beleidsmakers over softwarevrijheid maar ook al tot specifieke beleidsveranderingen. Er zijn al overheden in Spanje, Zweden en Duitsland die "Publiek geld? Publieke Code! " steunen. In de lezing zal Bonnie Mehring uitleggen hoe het campagneraamwerk kan worden gebruikt om aan te dringen op het aannemen van Vrije Software-vriendelijk beleid in uw omgeving: of het nu gaat om uw overheid, uw bibliotheek, uw universiteit, uw stad, uw regio, of uw land.

On Sunday, February 14, 2021, the annual "I Love Free Software" day (possibly also known as "Ick lieb' dir, Freie Software" day ;-) will take place! This international day is celebrated every year to thank all the hardworking people who sacrifice their time for us so that we can use cool Free Software. This time we would like to give you the opportunity to present a piece of Free Software that you find useful, beautiful, quirky, special or otherwise interesting. You can find all the details on the event page. We will meet online, on Sunday the 14.02.2021 at 15:00.
The FSFE will be present at FOSDEM, the biggest annual Free Software happening in Europe. While FOSDEM normally takes place in Brussels, this year it will happen online. Max Mehl gives a talk about the "Best practices for declaring copyright and licenses" and Lucas Lasota will speak about "Net Neutrality and Free Software: The Case of Router Freedom in Europe". The FSFE will also be present with a digital booth that you can visit to talk with people.
Apart from the digital booth, for the first time the FSFE will co-organise the Legal and Policy Issues Devroom at FOSDEM. We will also continue with our traditional pre-FOSDEM meeting the day before FOSDEM. This is our community get-together which will be kicked-off with a keynote by Cory Doctorow.
Op 20 januari zal FSFE Nederland wederom hun localgroup meeting hebben. Net zoals de vorige keren zal het online worden gehouden, zodat we in contact kunnen blijven ondanks dat we onze reguliere fysieke bijeenkomst missen. De bijeenkomst zal van 20:00 tot 21:00 CET zijn op de conference server. De vorige keren was het erg gezellig en dus bleven de meesten tot 22:30, maar je kan op elk moment afzwaaien. De meeting is open voor iedereen en we schakelen naar het Engels als niet iedereen Nederlands begrijpt. Stuur om deel te nemen a.u.b. een e-mail naar country coordinator Nico Rikken (nico[dot]rikken[at]fsfe[dot]org), hij zal je de link en toegangscode sturen.
