The group is women-centric and open to all women, inter, trans and non-binary people.
The FSFE will have a booth for the 7th edition of Campus du Libre, an event around Free Software organized by people from academia. Campus du Libre will take place at the "Manufacture des Tabacs" campus, Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 in Lyon from 9am to 4pm.
Jedes Jahr werden weltweit 1,5 Milliarden Smartphones hergestellt und nach oft kurzer Nutzungsdauer weggeworfen. Wenn wir unser aktuelles Telefon weiter benutzen statt ein neues zu kaufen, tragen wir dazu bei, die Zunahme von Elektroschrott zu vermeiden. Und wenn nur jede*r dritte ihr Handy 1 Jahr länger nutzen würde könnten wir uns die Rohstoffe für die Produktion von 100en Millionen Handys pro Jahr sparen.
Mit Upcycling Android zeigt die Free Software Foundation Europe auf, wie mit Hilfe der Installation Freier Software Betriebssysteme Telefone durch Flashen länger genutzt werden können. Gemeinsam Flashen wir mit Ihnen Beispieltelefone und werden zudem Telefone bereitstellen, an denen das Freie Software Betriebessysteme ausprobiert werden kann. Währenddessen beantworten wir Fragen rund ums Flashen und zeigen mit F-Droid und microG zudem eine Welt voller Freier Software auf.

The Fediverse is a decentralised social network. But what does that mean?
In this talk Tobias Diekershoff from the FSFE will give a short introduction to the Fediverse of 2024 and how it started to evolve in 2008. He will explain the basic concepts of ActivityPub as the protocol of the Fediverse and how the use of this open protocol has enabled a diverse group of Free Software projects to build a social network of (micro) blogging, video streaming, podcasting and event organising. A network where users can share and interact with each other regardless of the platform they use. What will be possible in the Fediverse of 2024? And how can you get started today?
“Knitting Our Internet” (KOI) is a workshop that explores the history of the Internet, and offers a perspective for a collective re-imagination of participatory, decentralized networks. The workshop aims at questioning the very essence of today’s social media, exposing the critical limits posed by centralization, monopoly, and surveillance capitalism.
During the activity, Tommaso Marmo will be using a yarn his grandmother gifted him to simulate centralized and decentralized networks, employing concrete metaphors to actively involve the participants. Every individual attending the workshop will be given a quote or an image relevant in the early and contemporary history of the Internet, and they will be asked to share it as the story unfolds.
Are you interested in discussing the most pressing issues surrounding Free Software in Italy? Whether you want to hear about the latest developments from Free Software associations or share your own success stories, this is the perfect opportunity!
💬Join us at the Italian Community Meeting, supported by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), where we’ll learn from one another, find inspiration, and tackle future challenges together.
As a volunteer, you have a platform to share your story, discuss your achievements and challenges surrounding Free Software, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. We encourage you to collaborate with the community on common initiatives and work together to forge new paths forward.
👍Let’s come together to strengthen our community and advance the cause of Free Software in Italy! Will you be there?
🕐 Sat. 9th of November, from 10:20-13:00 - Seminar 3 & you can join also in Hybrid form.

Laguage of the event will be Italian.
In this workshop we will dive into the possibilities of encouraging women*, especially girls, to thinker and to code. With tools such as the Free Software Foundation Europe’s (FSFE) illustrated book “Ada & Zangemann” The book tells the story of Ada, a girl who loves to experiment with hardware and software. Ada realises how crucial it is to control technology and decides to stand up to the mighty inventor Zangemann. This workshop will also intend to explore ways to promote diversity and gender equity in the Free Software community and beyond.
Together we will identify the challenges women face in participating in such communities and discuss how we can create more inclusive environments, especially for the future generations. We encourage you to join us to share your experiences, ideas and perspectives, and collaborate in creating a more inclusive and diverse future in the Free Software community for all.

Today it is impossible to imagine daily life without software. The majority of us can’t spend a single day without using it. People use software in the workplace, on laptops, and on mobile phones. Software is also found in less obvious places however: in trains, cars, televisions, washing-machines, fridges, and many other devices. None of these devices could function without software. Without software we couldn’t write e-mails, make phone calls, go shopping, or travel as we are accustomed to. Software is our society’s central tool. How do we ensure that the next generation is motivated and capable of shaping technology for society’s benefits?
Learn more about the experiences how the FSFE sparks children’s and teenagers interest to tinker, experiment and program. Furthermore you will see how fulfilling those activities can be for yourself.
In this BOF (Birds of a Feather) meeting, we will discuss strategies for fostering community growth and enhancing member involvement. We will explore optimal settings and practices that support sustainable community development. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and insights, providing an opportunity to learn from one another and collaborate on best practices.
We often underestimate the power of a simple Thank You. Free Software contributors do important work for our society and the “I Love Free Software Day” on 14 February is the perfect opportunity for you to express your special gratitude. Since 2010, we have celebrated this wonderful annual event with an ever-growing and diverse community.
Companies that produce and sell Free Software face a problem: some competitors use unethical and destructive means to compete, making their products cheaper and winning bids. Destructive practices include marketing proprietary software under the guise of being Free Software, whether by using free/open wording, by introducing new licenses that falsely appear to be free, or by imposing additional barriers that make it more difficult to use the freedoms offered by Free Software. For some players, there seems to be no limit to their creativity when it comes to undercutting competitors and winning bids.
The Free Software Foundation Europe has been analysing these and other problematic market practices over the last few years. In this talk Johannes Näder will take a closer look at them and show why they harm Free Software manufacturers and the Free Software ecosystem. We will then discuss ways to limit the success of such practices.
During the summer the European Commission made the decision to stop funding Free Software projects within the Next Generation Internet initiative (NGI). This decision results in a loss of €27 million for software freedom. Since 2018, the European Commission has supported the Free Software ecosystem through NGI, that provided funding and technical assistance to Free Software projects. This decision unfortunately exposes a larger issue: that software freedom in the EU needs more stable, long-term financial support. The ease with which this funding was excluded underlines this need.
This talk shows the urgent need for sustainable, long-term financial support for Free Software to ensure Europe’s technological independence.
The role of Deputy Coordinator Italy within the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) was born in 2022 out of the need of re-establishing the presence of the Foundation on the territory. I designed this three years experimental project together with the Free Software Lab of NOI Techpark with the value proposition of (re)designing the FSFE Italian Community.
The project followed a human centric approach, moving along the five core stages of design-thinking. The goal of Marta Andreoli from the FSFE is to describe the FSFE Italy project and the design-thinking approach adopted.
The FSFE is a consortium member of the EU’s Next Generation Internet initiatives (https://fsfe.org/activities/ngi/ngi.en.html). As part of our work there over the past 6 years, we have looked at hundreds of participating Free Software projects, to assist them with their legal and licensing questions, as well as to help them become REUSE compliant.
Lina Ceballos from the FSFE will speak about some simple trends in Free Software legal and licensing that we’ve observed over the years in independent Free Software projects and their developers, and how these affect aspects of the Free Software ecosystem.
Our smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other connected devices are general purpose computers. However, device manufacturers, vendors, and internet platforms have been restricting software freedom by exercising their monopolistic control over end-user equipment. Basic freedoms such as installing and uninstalling software are being unfairly limited by these companies, commonly referred to as “gatekeepers”, because of their monopolistic control over devices.
Lucas Lasota from the FSFE will present Device Neutrality as a policy solution to enable end-users to bypass gatekeepers in order to run Free Software independently of the control exercised by hardware manufacturers, vendors, and platforms. Device Neutrality can enable end–users to regain control over their devices.
With CRA and PLD liability rules for software have been introduced with a broad exception for Free Software. After long and intense debates individual developers and non for profit work are safeguarded. In the future, individual developers and non-profit development of Free Software will be exempt from the CRA and the PLD. Nevertheless, the wording in both the regulations are different and a standardisation processes and guidelines are still being drawn up.
In this talk Alexander Sander from the FSFE will discuss what this new regulation means for software freedom in future and what happens at this stage and how to be involved in implementation.
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and the Linux User Group Bozen-Bolzano-Bulsan (LUGBZ) jointly honour outstanding Free Software developers who have significantly advanced the spread and advocacy of Free Software across Europe.
The European SFS Award recognizes individuals who have made remarkable contributions to fostering a Free Software culture, and it is presented during the SFSCON conference.
The importance of the topic of technology control explained to children in a very simple way through a fairy tale.
Join us to explore all about the FSFE: mission, vision, values and activities! And to discover more about the book Ada&Zangemann.

Together, we recognize the importance of their efforts and their dedication to creating a free and open digital world for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you:
Agenda:
19:00 h: Welcome
19:15 h: playful and informative introduction to Free Software, by Xavi de Blas
19:45 h: Celebration and networking
Come and share this special day with us! There will be food and drink for all attendees.
Xavier de Blas in the mid-2000s gave 111 lectures-show on free software. Upon reaching this number, he decided to reorient his efforts to programming. For the “I ♥️ Free Software Day” 2024 he will discuss some fun anecdotes of that time and offer us a new small format show called “ManipulaSo” where he will play with sensors and free software and hardware tools that he develops daily.
Please note, that the presentation about Free Software will be held in Catalan.
For the first time live, TWC study groups return.
Free software has a fundamental value for the economy of the technological supply chain. Without FOSS the startup model would be fundamentally different, or would not really exist. In spite of this, FOSS methodologies promote a collaborative model, rather than competitive, of design and production of digital technologies, thus helping to establish alternative technology design practices to Big Tech.
Most of the challenges we encounter in building distributed collaboration networks are organizational, non-technical: the software is compared to a stream, a stream, with an original source that can branch into different flows where necessary. For example, some centralized software communities tend to recreate the power structures of the physical world through member distribution and audience choice. Does it make sense to continue developing free software as we have done in recent decades? Where can we learn from our mistakes? How to build free software communities we so much hope?
As a better opportunity for Free Software Foundation Europe’s I Love Free Software Day to thank all people working on the ecosystem with a study group on the future and present of FOSS. Synware: free syndicates software is a collection of essays on the use, creation and collective maintenance of digital technologies in techno-syndicalist optics.
We are waiting for you on February 14 in Bologna to discuss together the future of FOSS.
Are you up for a pre-"I Love Free Software Day" party? Then come and join us at the FSFE Pottieries "I Love Free Software Day" gathering. On the 13th of February, from 6:30 pm (GMT) onwards we will meet upstairs at the KPA Clubhouse, 97 Horwood Road, Keele University, Keele, Staffordshire. Everyone is welcome, so bring along your friends, significant other, or family of all ages! Even if they've never heard of Free Software before, it'll be a good way to introduce them to the topic. However, please let us know when you want to join us for "I Love Free Software Day". Either by subscribing to our mailing list and sending us a message there or by sending us an email to potteries@fsfe.org.
We look forward to seeing many of you on the 13th of February for our pre-celebrations ♥ ♥ ♥ !

We've booked a private room in the centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme from 6:30pm GMT onwards until closing... it's upstairs from the Vue cinema and you can find directions if you follow the link.
There's 4 full sized bowling lanes, all of which are ours for the whole evening for unlimited free play, 6 people at most to a lane.
It's FREE as we're pickup up the bill, and like our past socials there will be places to just sit and just chat (no loud music!). Not everyone will be bowling anyway, so don't feel like you have to. Should be plenty of free software users about for a catch up!
The venue serves hot food (so no need to eat before coming out) as well as offering drinks (including alcohol)... you'll find details of this on the wiki if you follow the link.
We're holding this event jointly with the local LUG and Open Rights Group branch, so it's sure to be a great mix of people in one social. You're welcome to bring friends and family too, but you must let us know exact numbers if possible when you RSVP (as we need to keep the room to under 40 people, which it surely will be anyway... so don't give it a second thought!)
It's a veritable Flörgåsbord! - We were trying to merge the acronyms FSF/LUG/ORG and got "Florg" which got compared to the word Smörgåsbord (a Swedish buffet) and so we made it Flörgåsbord instead (as a buffet of local technology groups!).
⏰ 6:30pm doors open

The NGI Forum is the flagship event of the European Commission’s Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative. Tobias Diekershoff and Lucas Lasota will represent the FSFE with a workshop on REUSE. The event will happen in Brussels.
Free Software is at the heart of the Next Generation Internet initiative. However, the multiple competing licensing requirements for communicating the chosen license of a software project and its copyright holders increase the compliance burden on project maintainers. REUSE aims to remediate this situation, providing NGI projects with a set of easy-to-implement best practices for declaring copyright and licensing in an unambiguous, human- and machine-readable way. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of Free Software licensing and how to implement REUSE in your software project.
The event is free but places are limited. Online streaming and participation will be also provided. English will the working language.
Free Software associations and enthusiasts will share what is happening in the fs scene from their point of view, their activities and what they have in store for 2030.
The presentations will be held in Italian, you are welcome to hold your talk online if you can’t attend the physical event.

The Open Science movement aims to increase the transparency, reproducibility and inclusiveness of academic research. One of its central goals is therefore to make research outputs broadly available, e.g., manuscripts (Open Access) or research data (Open Data). While software/code created in the course of scientific research is a key artifact of scientific research that is clear distinct from the latter two, it has until recently not received the same attention as manuscripts or data, although it follows its own set of paradigms.
In this talk, FSFE volunteer Christian Busse, will present an overview on how the core concepts of Free Software and the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reuseable) Principles intersect, what this means for managing code as research output and recent initiatives on the European level that will provide support for these issues.
The “I Love Free Software Day” (https://ilovefs.org) provides a platform for individuals and organisations to express gratitude towards Free Software contributors.
In this talk Bonnie Mehring highlights the significance of the “I Love Free Software Day” as a platform for expressing support, love, and gratitude towards the developers and contributors who make Free Software possible. And we will discuss ideas and strategies for making the upcoming “I Love Free Software Day” even more remarkable.
The European Union’s AI Act is the first comprehensive set of regulations for the artificial intelligence. Also Free Software plays a role in this regulation. I will shed light on the upcoming rules and evaluate what this means for Free Software, AI but also other upcoming regulations.
In this talk, Alexander Sander will present the latest developments in EU legislation and activities on AI and what role Free Software plays in this.
What can be done to improve the Internet as a platform for future generations? What initiatives are currently in place to build key technological blocks of an Internet that supports human-centric values, such as privacy, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and norms all citizens should enjoy in Europe?
In this talk, Gabriel Ku Wei Bin will explore why the current state of the internet must be re-imagined and re-engineered in order to support healthy societies, the existing European Commission initiative to work towards doing so, and the role of Free Software in accomplishing these goals.
Interoperability is a core element of the ongoing digitalisation of Europe. With the Interoperable Europe Act, the EU is aiming to create a dedicated legal framework for interoperability and to enhance cross-border digital public services across the European Union.
In this talk, Lina Ceballos will give an overview of the state of play of this proposed regulation in the ongoing EU legislative process, some of its flaws, and the important role that Free Software and its community can play in it.
For six years, the Free Software Foundation Europe has been calling with a broad alliance for publicly funded software to be published as Free Software.
In the talk, Linus Sehn and Johannes Näder, will look at some examples of lack of implementation of Free Software policies. They will discuss how we, as civil society, can identify such shortcomings and how to deal with them. They will present our initiative TEDective – a free-software solution that makes European public procurement data explorable for non-experts, aiming to provide you with a powerful tool to keep an eye on real progress towards “Public Money? Public Code!” across Europe.
License compliance efforts for software projects involve not only legal-oriented actions, but also governance elements such as organizational processes and community management. The larger the community or the organization working collectively, the more complex a compliance program for software projects may become. Free Software licenses being direct licensing models are easier to comply with in comparison to proprietary licenses.
This talk, by Lucas Lasota and Niharika Singhal, will give an overview of the Free Software licensing compliance practices, including initiatives such as REUSE for streamlining copyright and license information for software projects.
The first day of SFSCON will close with the reading of the book 'Ada & Zangemann: a Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream' by Matthias Kirchsner.
The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city, constantly building and programming cool gadgets that everyone can’t wait to buy. But one day on a walk through town, something happens that changes the way he sees his own inventions—young people are using them in fun ways, and that make him furious.
School children are invited to participate in this reading, in Italian, of the book 'Ada & Zangemann: A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream', taking place during the first day of SFSCON 2023.
This illustrated children’s book tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realizes how crucial it is for her and others to control technology.
Ada & Zangemann will inspire children’s interest in tinkering and encourage shaping technology.
Some manufacturers try to force to use the preinstalled software on the PC you acquire, sometimes also claiming that alternative software will not work properly.
On 2018 FSFE volunteer Luca Bonissi purchased a Lenovo Tablet/PC that came with Microsoft Windows pre-installed. He requested the refund to Lenovo, but Lenovo denied to refund him. A court case was initiated, and Lenovo was condemned to pay a punitive damages of 20,000 euros for its abusive behaviour.
Lina Ceballos and Gabriel Ku Wei Bin from the FSFE will talk about legal topics relating to Free Software. They will explain basic legal concepts such as licenses, copyright law, and other legal topics important for developers and the Free Software community in general.
The 40-minute talk will be followed by a 20-minute demonstration of how to make licensing your free software projects easier with FSFE's REUSE initiative. Copyright and licensing are difficult, especially when reusing software from different projects that are released under various different licenses. REUSE provides a set of recommendations to make declaring licenses easier. After the talk and the demonstration, there will be time for questions and answers.

CRA und Haftung - welche Regeln gelten für Freie Software - Alexander Sander (FSFE)
Im Rahmen des Cyber Ressliance Act diskutiert die EU derzeit über die Einführung von Haftungsregeln für Software, einschließlich Freier Software. Doch wie wirken sich diese Regeln aus und welche Folgen entstehen für Freie Software? Die EU Kommission hat eine Ausnahmereglung vorgeschlagen, Freie Software "außerhalb einer kommerziellen Tätigkeit" auszuschließen. Die Formulierung führt aber zu einigen Problemen und wird daher momentan von Parlament und Rat verbessert. In dem Vortrag wird der aktuelle Stand der Dbeatte zusammengefastt und aufgzeigt, welche Folgen zu erwarten sind.

Although digital devices are ubiquitous today, the number of devices on which users cannot run Free Software is exponentially increasing. The consequence is an increased loss of control over users' technology. Device Neutrality aims to enable end-users to bypass gatekeepers to have a non-discriminatory use of Free Software on their devices.
Lucas Lasota, FSFE's Programme Manager Legal, will speak at "Encontro Nacional de Estudantes de Informatica" in Aveiro, Portugal, about Device Neutrality. The talk takes place on 30.09. The language is Portuguese. The event is free but requires registration.

What will the Internet of the future look like? The Next Generation Internet Initiative (NGI) envisions an Internet that is accessible and diverse, and respects the fundamental value of privacy. Here at the FSFE, we believe that Free Software is key to accomplish this vision, so that all people, regardless of their background, are able to use the Internet as an effective tool to achieve their full potential. This talk will go over the NGI initiative and will present the funding opportunities for Free Software projects engaged in changing the landscape of the Internet of the future.

Net neutrality refers to non-discrimination of internet communication. ISPs should treat all internet communications equally, offering users and online content providers consistent rates irrespective of content, website, platform, application, type of equipment, source address, destination address, or method of communication. But what happens when they discriminate the type of routers and modems consumers use for internet connection? This talk explains why Router Freedom is key for achieving Net Neutrality, presenting the main finding of a recent survey the FSFE has conducted in the EU.
