It is amazing to see so many volunteers contributing to translations of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" inspiring more children to tinker with technology 🤗

If you know people who might be interested to help with translations, you can point them directly to https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fsfe/ada-zangemann/ .

A big thank you to the amazing @nicorikken who is providing tooling and help for so many of the translations! 👏

It's never too early to start thinking about #FOSDEM! @bkuhn @karen @lexelas @richardfontana @tmarble and I would like to submit a proposal for the "#Legal and #Policy Devroom" to @fosdem as soon as they open the CfP. Like last year we would like get feedback by you, our community:

* What did you especially like in 2025 https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/legal-and-policy/ ?

* What would you like to see improved?

* What topics would you like to see in our devroom (permitted that we would be accepted again)?

What would an @fsfe summer meeting be without amazing ice cream. Big thanks to Luca Bonissi making this delicious ice cream and brining it to our volunteer meeting! 🤗

As soon more and more summer vacations for pupils start: why not gift a copy of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Rasberry Ice Cream" (6-106y) to children around you?

It is currently available from publishers in English, German, French, Italian, and Danish from book stores. (@fsfe volunteers are working on more languages.)
