Free Software Foundation Europe
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
control technology.
Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. Free Software
gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software.
These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of
speech, freedom of press, and privacy.

In our November Newsletter learn why device neutrality and
upcycling of software are essential to make (re-)using our
hardware more resource-efficient. Read about the key role
translators play in the FSFE and about the loss of Router Freedom
in Latvia. Watch a new video on Free Software core values, and
follow our community events.

Cancelling of large events, limitations in meetings, and travel
restrictions: none of this stopped the FSFE from advancing software
freedom in 2021. From Router Freedom to new podcast episodes to
co-organising the Legal and Policy devroom at FOSDEM, we keep
empowering people to control technology.

Watch our new video demonstrating how different practices in software lead
to different models of society. Software is intangible, but its results
often are not. The decisions we make about what type of software we use have
real-life effects. There is a type of software that benefits the common
good, and that is Free Software.

The "Public Money - Public Code" campaign, as well as the "REUSE
Initiative" made me notice that the FSFE is an organization which
supports the same ideals that I do. I want to help them do more great
things, and so now I am proud FSFE supporter.

I hope that more and more people will understand the importance of being ethical in their digital life and thus consciously use Free Software and that we will have more and more volunteers from all over Europe.
