Fui durante anos uma voz solitária, explicando os princípios por detrás do Software Livre e a sua importância a pessoas no meu país em inúmeros artigos e textos no blog. Queria pertencer a uma organização com o objectivo de construir a sociedade digital 100% com Software Livre, e apoiar a FSFE.

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)

Nowadays we use social networks, laptops and mobile devices every day. And very frequently we lose the important social and political vision of Free Software in all of them. Thanks to FSFE, FSF and other similar organizations and many local groups, we maintain the torch of a different world where everyone can use and share a lot of programs and code, no matter the country you live in or how much money you can afford to spend on it.
