SFP#51: Policy and EU: The challenges for public code in public administration!

Software Freedom Podcast

In this monthly Software Freedom Podcast episode we are talking with the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) and their X-Road, a Free Software well-used in public institutions. Together with Johannes Näder from the FSFE, and Petteri Kivimäki (NIIS) we discussed the current challenges that Free and Open Source Projects meet in public institutions.  

Decades-long victory, bold Apple survey findings, legal workshop success & our 50th podcast episode

Newsletter

April brought LLW, where we gathered with Legal Network members to discuss a wide range of legal and licensing topics. One of them was the DMA, legislation that is keeping us busy: we are exposing how Apple keeps blocking third-party developers, denying their interoperability requests. On a brighter note, over ten years of advocacy paid off: the EC is protecting users' right to install any software on radio devices. And we reached episode 50 in our SFP!

Besoj se Software-i i Lirë ka nevojë për një zë si në politika si në shkallë kombëtare, ashtu edhe BE-je: software-i nuk ekziston në një flluskë të mbyllur, ai varet fort nga ekosistemi në të cilin jeton. Sipas meje, si Software-i i Lirë, ashtu edhe standardet e hapura janë kyçe për krijimin e një shoqërie që furnizon akses të barabartë.

U bëra anëtar shok ngaqë dëshiroja ta përkrahja punën e FSFE-së për promovimin e software-it të lirë. Si dikush që i përdor rëndshëm kompjuterët çdo ditë, jam shumë i preokupuar me modën e tanishme të kyçjes së punimit në kompjuter, me të cilën po u hiqet kontrolli përdoruesve. Kjo po bëhet gjithnjë e më shumë problematike, ngaqë jeta e njerëzve varet gjithnjë e më shumë nga kompjuterët, për komunikime personale, administrim financash, punësim, etj. Software-i i Lirë është domosdoshmëri për mbajtjen e kontrollit të punimit tuaj në kompjuter.
