With the award @fsfe and #LUGBZ recognise European individuals who have made outstanding contributions to #SoftwareFreedom .
We are looking forward to receive your suggestions!
A big thank you to everyone who supported the @fsfe in our work to prevent Radio Lockdown in EU legislation.
We would not have been able to accomplish this victory without our FSFE supporters
It took a long breath, patience, the expertise to spot the right time for action, and the resources to then actually act.
With the help of our supporters we will continue to defend the right of users to install or remove any software on any of their devices!!!
When your payment provider cancelled you and now still sends you e-mails that they want to do security scans of your systems 🤔

The @fsfe offers an easy way to share #FreeSoftware news within the #fediverse and other channels through the share buttons at the end of the pages. See e.g. https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260420-01.en.html
Hope that helps to make it easy for your to share important work and balance the at least to a small degree the high budgets of those no the other side of our work.
The Austrian Ministry of Education created this great online course about "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream". Also as #OpenEducationalResources under #CreativeCommons CC-BY-SA.
Cool exercises they implemented there. Love to see that translated into other languages as well.
Great if you receive such nice feedback about an @fsfe event 🤗
“This is the one conference, which you just have to join. The one conference where everyone, everything the whole atmosphere reflects what a difference a community can make, the conference that lets us overcome the challenges we alle sometimes face [...] where history and experience count, where failure is okay, [...] all of this in one package, I couldn’t have wished for a better conference!"
Actor Hugh Grant "The presence even if it is switched off, of a telephone or an ipad in the room it makes me twitchy [...] I'm not there. And when [...] you've gone somewhere there is no phone. You can't fix the problem. [...] is bliss. And I want my children to have that. I want my children to know what it's like to be a human being."

Sad how sick financial greed managed to transfer a powerful tool for users like a mobile into a burden and pain for many of them.
