Conference season is in full swing! In the last week we have been navigating the challenge of our payment provider ending our contract, attending events, and preparing for what’s ahead. Check out our first interview on the 2026 ilovefs celebrations and our two latest podcast episodes. Thank you to everyone who supported us during this time of financial uncertainty!
Community
Not so long ago, the Free Software community celebrated the "I Love Free Software Day". A day in which the FSFE, our volunteers and many other organisations and individuals thank all contributors for their commitment to use, study, share and improve Free Software. Without them there is no software freedom!
Software Freedom Podcast
For our 49th episode of the Software Freedom Podcast we invited Ralf Hersel and did our first cross production with the Podcast “Captain it’s Wednesday” from GNU/Linux.ch. Ralf is part or the FSFE Zurich group and the GNU/Linux.ch, a community driven news page about everything related to Free Software and free society. In this general episode of the SFP Ralf takes us through the many activities the FSFE local group in Zurich has been doing.
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!
