The European Parliament has approved funding for several projects related to Free Software and privacy. In the EU budget for 2015, which the European Parliament adopted on December 17, the Parliamentarians have allocated up to one million Euro for a project to audit Free Software programs in use at the Commission and the Parliament in order to identify and fix security vulnerabilities.
L'April, organisation pionnière du logiciel libre en France, était fondée il y a exactement 18 ans. Démarrée en décembre 1996 par des étudiants d'une université d'Île-de-France, l'April était à l'origine une association à but non-lucratif dédiée à la promotion du Logiciel Libre dans la recherche en informatique.
Nous façonnons le monde de demain par ce que nous faisons aujourd’hui. La FSFE aide les gens à comprendre comment la technologie affecte leurs droits et libertés, et leur donne les moyens de choisir leur propre chemin dans le monde numérique. Voici ce que nous avons fait en 2014, et où nous irons ensuite !
GnuPG is the world's leading privacy tool, with an estimated base of more than four million active users world-wide, and a thousand new users each day. It guards emails, files, and programs from snooping and spying on Windows, Mac, and GNU/Linux. This crucial program needs your help to keep going in 2015 and beyond.
A study released on Friday says that the European Parliament must adopt Free Software and Open Standards in order to fulfil its transparency obligations. The authors conclude that "the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament should whenever possible make Free Software and Open Standards mandatory for all systems and data used for the work of Parliament."
La Free Software Foundation Europe est une association paneuropéenne à but non lucratif, fondée en 2001 pour donner aux utilisateurs la pleine maîtrise de leurs technologies. Afin de permettre à l'organisation d'intensifier son travail avec la Commission européenne et de faire en sorte que le plus grand nombre connaisse le Logiciel Libre, la FSFE a besoin de 190 000 € pour son action en 2015. L'année prochaine, la FSFE continuera plus que jamais à faire des Logiciels Libres un pilier de notre société.
At a meeting in the European Parliament, FSFE's president Karsten Gerloff highlighted several ways in which the Parliament could become more transparent, and make better use of Free Software and Open Standards.
In a short intervention, he urged the Parliament to finally make its live streams accessible to Free Software users. He asked the Parliament's IT administration to enable IMAP access on its mail servers to allow Free Software users to connect through standard protocols, and warned the Parliament to avoid lock-in as it progresses towards greater digitisation.
For the time being, the public development of the Free Software 'OpenJustitia' by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court has ceased because of a new legal opinion. The reason for this abrupt end is apparently the legal uncertainty regarding public contractors in Switzerland. The FSFE demands that the missing legal framework be created as soon as possible so that software developed with public funding in Switzerland in the future can also be released as Free Software.
Every year, the FSFE is organising the "Document Freedom Day", a global campaign to highlight the importance of Open Standards for our freedom of communication, interoperability and indepedence from vendor lock-in. For this campaign, FSFE's Berlin office is looking for an Intern PR / Campaigning in full time from January 1st until March 31st.
La FSFE et l’association italienne de consommateurs ADUC, avec le groupe italien ILS, demandent aux organismes de régulation à prendre des mesures concrètes pour protéger les Italiens contre l’obligation de payer pour des logiciels qu’ils ne veulent pas ou n’ont pas besoin. La Haute Cour de l’Italie a rendu une décision en Septembre que les fournisseurs informatiques doivent rembourser les consommateurs pour le prix des logiciels payants indésirables qui sont livrés pré-installés sur les PC et ordinateurs portables. Aujourd’hui, la FSFE, l’ADUC et l’ILS ont envoyé une lettre aux autorités italiennes de la concurrence, leur demandant de s’assurer que les fournisseurs se conforment à la décision de la Haute Cour, et de respecter les droits de leurs consommateurs.
On Tuesday, Munich's first mayor finally reacted to an inquiry by the Green Party (in German) related to rumours regarding a possible switch back to a Windows-based desktop environment. The answer to the inquiry shows that there is no factual basis for the claims made by first mayor and second mayor. An evaluation of the IT infrastructure and -processes is underway. FSFE calls on the city council to include vendor independence as well as interoperability as factors in the investigation, since they were central reasons for Munich to switch to Free Software in the first place.
En Italie la Cour de Cassation a frappé un grand coup dans la pratique consistant à imposer des logiciels non-libres aux acheteurs de PC et ordinateurs portables. Selon La Repubblica, la Cour a rendu un jugement par lequel un acheteur d'ordinateur portable est habilité à être remboursé le prix de la licence Windows de son ordinateur.
Des approximations peuvent être sources de confusion dommageable à la compréhension et à l’application des licences de logiciels libres. Cet article de blog se propose d’en résoudre cinq, présentées dans un article du JDN.
Free Software has progressed in leaps and bounds since we founded FSFE in 2001. But we still have a long way to go until we can all be in control of our computing, our data, and our digital lives.
From 13 – 15 June 2014 FSFE had its German speaking team meeting in the Linuxhotel in Essen. The participants had some problems to travel there because of the chaos resulting from a heavy thunderstorm in the region. A lot of train lines where not functional, and the situation on the streets was also chaotic. But just because no ICE trains stop in Essen does not mean we will not continue our work for Free Software. In the end we were able to bring all volunteers to the Linuxhotel to plan further activities and discuss current issues.
The European Commission has recently renewed its commitment to a proprietary desktop and secret file formats.The Commission is refusing to get serious about breaking free from vendor lock-in, and is ignoring all available alternatives. In doing so, the EU's civil service fails to practice what it preaches.
Aujourd'hui notre organisation-sœur, la FSF, a publié son guide d'autodéfense courriel et son infographie en 6 nouvelles langues. Ils sont maintenant disponibles en anglais, allemand, portugais brésilien, français, russe, turc et japonais. Ils y expliquent l'installation des outils nécessaires pour chiffrer son courriel sous GNU / Linux, MacOS, et Microsoft Windows ; la génération de clés ; la toile de confiance ; ainsi que l'utilisation de ces programmes.

Faites-nous part de vos commentaires, afin que nous puissions les prendre en compte avant d'imprimer les infographies, et parlez-en autour de vous.
Eine charakteristische Eigenschaft digitaler Kommunikation ist ihre vermeintliche Stofflosigkeit. Diese Stofflosigkeit ist es, die auch ein prinzipiell unbegrenztes Speichern und Archivieren aller elektronischen Kommunikation ermöglicht. Das, und die Möglichkeit diese Daten massenhaft und maschinell auszuwerten und zu analysieren, verleitet Geheimdienste rund um den Globus zum abhören und speichern unser aller Kommunikation. Als Gegenmaßnahme könnte man wieder vermehrt offline kommunizieren – oder aber eine starke Verschlüsselung durch Freie Software verwenden..
The European elections have brought 33 Free Software supporters into the new European Parliament. Candidates across the political spectrum signed the Free Software Pact, promising to support Free Software and Open Standards during their time in Parliament. Out of 162 signatories, 33 were elected

After multiple public hearings and political debates, the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) presented a set of proposed regulations (German) that would eliminate compulsory use of particular routers and improve the transparency of telecommunication firms for customers. Compulsory routers tie customers to a device provided by the ISP. The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), Chaos Computer Club (CCC), and the project leadership of IPFire and OpenWrt, as well as other experts, reviewed these regulations and gave comments to the BNetzA (German)
In an open letter to the European Parliament and the European Commission, Free Software Foundation Europe and Open Forum Europe are asking the European institutions to improve their support for Open Standards.

L'informatique à l'ère post-Snowden : choisir avant de payer ! Les révélations d'Edward Snowden sur la surveillance massive des communications et des usages rappellent le besoin impérieux que chaque personne puisse avoir la maîtrise des ordinateurs et des téléphones quélle utilise. Pourtant, les constructeurs et les vendeurs d'ordinateurs et de téléphones nous imposent, dans l'immense majorité des cas, l'utilisation de programmes qui mettent notre vie privée en péril.
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), Open Invention Network (OIN), and The Linux Foundation announced today the launch of the Asian Legal Network. The Asian Legal Network was established to provide a leading forum for sharing knowledge and best practices regarding Free Software legal affairs, particularly those that relate to market participants in Asia.
From May 22 to 25 in 2014 European citizens will vote for candidates standing for the European Parliament. This is an ideal time to engage with politicians with why Free Software matters. Help us to get the candidates across Europe to declare their support for Free Software.
…Stefan "Penny" Harmuth! The election period for this year's Fellowship GA seat has ended on February 28. There was just one candidate running for the Fellowship GA seat this time. The more we are happy that still 20,3% of our Fellows took their chance to support Stefan Harmuth in his run for the seat.
FSFE has submitted comments on a proposal by the UK government to use only document formats based on Open Standards in future.
On February 14th, people all around the world expressed their gratitude and appreciation not only to their partner but also to Free Software and its contributors. With our yearly #ilovefs we asked you to thank your favourite developers and projects and were overwhelmed by the resonance in blogs, social networks, and mailing lists.
This Tuesday is a day to fight back against mass surveillance, and here at FSFE we're proud to be part of the struggle.
Le 14 février la Free Software Foundation Europe appelle tous les utilisateurs de logiciels libres à penser aux personnes dévouées de la communauté du Logiciel Libre et de leur montrer qu'ils les apprécient comme l'année dernière.
Le gouvernement Italien fait du Logiciel Libre un choix prioritaire pour les administrations publiques. Dans le document publié mercredi dernier, relatif à la circulaire n.63 du 6 décembre 2013, l'agence pour l'Italie numérique a fixé des règles de base à destination de toutes les administrations publiques du pays qui doivent privilégier le Logiciel Libre avant d'envisager l'acquisition de logiciels sous licences propriétaire.
