מוסד התוכנה החופשית האירופי

מוסד התוכנה החופשית האירופי הוא ארגון צדקה שמעודד משתמשים לשלוט בטכנולוגיה.

תוכנה מעורבת עמוקות בכל היבטי חיינו. תוכנה חופשית מעניקה לכל אחד ואחת את הזכויות להשתמש, להבין, להתאים ולשתף תוכנות. הזכויות האלה מסייעות לתמוך בזכויות יסוד אחרות כמו חופש הביטוי, חופש העיתונות ופרטיות. מידע נוסף…

SFP#44: Policy and EU: Navigate through current relevant EU initiatives

Software Freedom Podcast

January is a busy month. We all come back from our relaxing (or in some cases rather stressful) holidays and what best to do with all the energy the New Year brings along? Of course, we have to advocate for Free Software! One way is advocating for the representation of Free Software in the initiatives the European Union is working.

I believe Free Software needs a voice at the national as well as the EU level in politics: Software does not exist in an isolated bubble, it's heavily dependent on the ecosystem that it lives in. In my opinion Free Software as well as open standards are key to creating a society that provides equal access.

Isabel Drost-Fromm (Software Engineer and Member of the Apache Software Foundation)

I'm a supporter of the FSFE as I want to sustain their work to promote Free Software. As a person that uses computers quite heavily every day, I'm very concerned with the current trend of locking down computing which is taking control away from the users. This is increasingly problematic since people's lives are more and more dependent on computers for personal communications, managing finances, employment, etc. Free Software is a necessary requirement for retaining control over your computing.

What is the biggest benefit of Free Software? Freedom!
