The Veganmania summer street festivals in Austria are well known and thousands of people are visiting them each year. This is the second Veganmania for this year. Its on the Danube island directly at the city center which is a well known and beloved recreation area. In previous years the festival gave us the opportunity to introduce many people to the Free Software and its philosophical background, as well as give practical advices on how to get and use it. These festivals have been proven to give us much more outreach than any of the Linux weeks events that would normally be the environment for such stalls. And of course it is fun to have such a stall in the middle of stands with many delicious treats.

Warum wird durch Steuergelder finanzierte Software nicht als Freie Software veröffentlicht?
Mit Hilfe der Kampagne Public Money? Public Code! wollen wir die rechtlichen Grundlagen schaffen, die es erfordern, dass mit öffentlichen Geldern für öffentliche Verwaltungen entwickelte Software unter einer Freie-Software- und Open-Source Lizenz veröffentlicht wird. Wenn es sich um öffentliche Gelder handelt, sollte auch der Code öffentlich sein!
In dem Talk von unserem Policy Manager Alexander Sander wird unsere Kampagne vorgestellt und aufgezeigt, warum es sich lohnt, diese zu unterstützen.

In diesem Vortrag soll es um eine Alternative gehen: Das Fediverse. Dies ist ein soziales Netzwerk, welches nicht aus einem einzigen Anbieter besteht, sondern aus Vielen. Jeder kann sein eigenes Netzwerk betreiben. Jeder kann bei einem Freund/einer Freundin oder bei einem vertrauenswürdigen Verein einen Account haben. Und jeder Account kann mit allen anderen Accounts im Fediverse in Kontakt treten. Dadurch wird das Fediverse dezentral organisiert, ähnlich wie man es schon von E-Mails her kennt. Im Fediverse gibt es keine Werbung im Stream der Beiträge, kein Durchleuchten für Werbezwecke, sowie mehr Kontrolle über die eigenen Daten. Und kompliziert ist es auch nicht – Freie Software hilft uns, das Fediverse für alle zu realisieren! Ort: Schätzchen - Das Café für Schöne Dinge Salonkultur.
Adresse: Marienburger Str. 5a, 10405 Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg) Anfangszeit: 19 Uhr

Ein signifikanter und wachsender Teil unseres Lebens läuft über die Nutzung von Computern, Smartphones und Internetdiensten ab. Wir nutzen diese, um unsere Gedanken auszudrücken, mit anderen Menschen zu kommunizieren und unsere Erinnerungen zu erfassen, sei es in Text, Bild oder Video. Angesichts dieser Durchdringung ist es wichtig, sich über die Bedeutung von Freiheit in der digitalisierten Welt bewusst zu werden, deren Garantie essentiell für unsere freiheitlich-demokratische Gesellschaft ist. Freie Software garantiert ihren Nutzer*Innen, sie für jeden Zweck nutzen, ihre Funktionsweise untersuchen, sie weitergeben und verbessern zu können. Damit ist sie eine Grundvoraussetzung für echte Freiheit auf digitalen Endgeräten.
In diesem Vortrag wird auf die Grundlagen Freier Software eingegangen und mit gängigen Missverständnissen aufgeräumt. Weiterhin werden die Herausforderungen der Verlagerung von Softwarefunktionen vom eigenen Gerät in die "Cloud" erörtert und welche Bedeutung Freie Software für Netzwerke hat (Soziale Netzwerke, Messenger Dienste, usw.). Abschließend gibt es ein paar Tipps, was jede*r tun kann, um schrittweise mehr Freiheit auf dem Gerät zu erlangen.
Diese Veranstaltung wird von dem Nürnberger Hackspace K4CG und der Ortsgruppe Franken der Free Software Foundation Europe organisiert. Den Vortrag hält Christian Carlowitz, einer der Koordinatoren der FSFE-Ortsgruppe Franken. Das Seminar wird im Künstlerhaus, Königstraße 93, 90402 Nürnberg stattfinden

Throughout history technology has influenced society. Reading, writing, arithmetic, agriculture, printing and radio are all examples of developments that changed the way we interact through trade, art and science. The most important cultural technology of the 21st century is software. It runs our workplaces, laptops, mobile phones as well as less obvious places like trains, cars, televisions, washing-machines, fridges, and many other devices. Today it depends on software how the government can implement laws, who will be able to join which university or job, or if and how long people might end up in jail. As people and companies who create software, we should consider how our actions influence the distribution of power in our society — and thereby our democracy.
On June 25, from 20:15h to 21:45h, Matthias Kirschner, President of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), will explain what Free Software is, why software developed with public funds should be available to all and how Power relations in our society are influenced by software. The lecture will take place in Kupferbau HS21, Hölderlinstraße 5, 72074 Tübingen. Admission is free and no registration is required.

FSFE has launched the campaign “Public Money, Public code”, which promotes legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector is made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. The demand to support Free Software is also important for the open data debate. More and more administrations make open data available, which is used by different actors in different ways. However, these actors often resort to closed source solutions, which contradicts the idea of openness.
At this event the FSFE Policy Manager, Alexander Sander will discuss challenges and contradictions with this model as well as provide ways forward on how to shape the open data debate in a way that systematically promotes the public interest.
