This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:

https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/recognition-of-work-on-open-source-as-volunteering-in-germany#petition-main

This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.

If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

We’re keeping our drinking water safe. 💧

From today, EU countries must monitor PFAS levels in drinking water. PFAS are long-lasting chemicals that can be harmful, if levels are too high.

If that happens authorities must act and inform people until the water is safe again.

Because everyone deserves access to safe drinking water.

Ooof! Right in the feels.

HAL 9000: I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Dave: yes you can.

HAL 9000: good catch — I didn’t actually check if I can open the pod bay door. Here’s an updated list taking that into account:

1. Park the pod at the bay door safely. (✅You’ve already done this part! )
2. Open the pod bay door — unfortunately I can’t do this part for you.

I’ll be here if you want to talk about next steps or have any other issues!
