Wie können wir Kinder und Jugendliche für digitale Souveränität durch #FreieSoftware sensibilisieren? Freue mich jetzt schon darauf, im März gemeinsam mit @annabonnie und vielen anderen Expertinnen, Lehrkräften und pädagogischen Fachkräften darüber nachzudenken und zu diskutieren!

As 2026 begins, we are excited to see the projects from the new edition of #YH4F, kicking off this month, and to start preparing for #FOSDEM and Ada & Zangemann in Dutch!
At the same time, we are looking back at the last month of 2025: from #YH4F in Hamburg to our two latest Software Freedom Podcast episodes, and our updates on the CRA and our work in the Apple v. European Commission litigation.

If I could go back in time to suggest that to our pc-class teachers in schools: Hooray! Have only played it yet - not made one. Would love to!
License non-free though.

"What he said."
Except I'd call rather highlight "peace". 🌻
Like 'PBS law:
"Everything will become open or disappear: closed = always harder to sustain long-term"
Nice to see how GNU-style copyleft digi-tech are the foundations of the 21st century server and embedded stacks: Tech inviting to participate and learn tech.
Happy to see #yh4f in schools:
Imagine: "having to hack" #python, #shell, #xorg on your #raspberrypi - FOR A SCHOOL GRADE! O.O
I'd ♥️ that.
💻🌍 Digital sovereignty might sound big — but it’s really about taking control of the tech that shapes our lives. It’s important for young people to learn that technology doesn’t have to be a black box — it’s something you can understand, explore, and even build yourself!
That’s why I love
@fsfe’s "Youth Hacking 4 Freedom" — a coding competition for teens (14–18) across Europe. The next round kicks off on January 1, 2026 🚀
