  • All public funding for software is used for Free Software only!
  • All regulatory frameworks encourage the use and development of Free Software.
  • Licensing and legal decisions are based on facts, rather than fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
  • Young people have the opportunity to tinker, experiment and code with Free Software as the default.

Το Ίδρυμα Ελεύθερου Λογισμικού Ευρώπης είναι μη κερδοσκοπική οργάνωση που δίνει δύναμη στους χρήστες να ελέγχουν την τεχνολογία.

Το λογισμικό σχετίζεται βαθιά με όλες τις διαστάσεις της ζωής μας. Το Ελεύθερο Λογισμικό δίνει σε όλους το δικαίωμα να χρησιμοποιούν, κατανοούν, προσαρμόζουν και να μοιράζουν λογισμικό. Αυτά τα δικαιώματα βοηθούν στην υποστήριξη άλλων θεμελιωδών δικαιωμάτων, όπως η ελευθερία του λόγου, η ελευθερία του τύπου και η ιδιωτικότητα. Μάθετε περισσότερα...

Germany Stack: Only Free Software Enables Digital Sovereignty

The “Germany Stack” is a central digital-policy project of the German federal government. The FSFE calls for the Stack to be planned in close coordination with European partners and to be implemented entirely as Free Software, since only the four freedoms enable digital sovereignty.

SFP#41: Policy and EU: Recap of SFSCON

Software Freedom Podcast

Remember that from the 7 November until 8 November, the FSFE has been at the well known and established South Tyrol Free Software Conference (SFSCON) in Bozen / Bolzano? Together with more than 1,000 participants, the FSFE discussed the current topics in the Free Software ecosystem and had a special focus on the main topic of this year's SFSCON: Ethics.  

Η κοινότητα μας Ανάληψη δράσης...

If software is licensed as free software, we can audit it, and be sure that it does what it's intended to do (and nothing else). Public institutions develop software, and hire companies to make it, and the citizens should own and reuse all that code. I contribute to Free Software with translations, user help desk, finding free software alternatives at the University... but I cannot reach the policy-makers, nor people and institutions in other countries.

Laura Arjona Reina (IT Assistant at Technical University of Madrid and Debian contributor)

I believe that Free Software can help us change our society fundamentally for the better and I believe the best way to do so is together with other volunteers from all over Europe!

Alexandra Busch (IT specialist)

Freedom is one of the core values of our Society and one of the basic concepts of Democracy. Supporting and spreading Free Software is one way to build creative alternatives for social inclusion and to protect our citizens from the digital exploitation. We are responsible to build a better World as a gift for our future generations.
