Freedom counts! "

Jonas Oberg was appointed new Vice President of the FSF
Europe: "The future of Free Software depends a lot on
what we do today. I plan to work to preserve the ability to

example by helping to extend the efforts already underway
against software patents and helping the media, government
and companies understand the underlying issues of Free
Software."

Launch of the "We speak about Free
Software" campaign: There are compelling reasons to

is rather common knowledge this applies to society as a

this campaign on behalf and with support of several Free
Software companies.
