It was great to be at #FOSSBackstage26 today, talking about #Openwashing and what we can do about it!

If you want to share your experience on the topic or know about example cases, you can take part in our survey:

https://share.fsfe.org/apps/forms/s/Z6xHfa8EiXk77FFreg2R6A6T

By doing so, you also help us at the @fsfe to point to cases that are relevant for #publiccode in our talks and publications.

And one more thing: please support our work by becoming an FSFE supporter! 🙏

I loved that the toilet was still there!! Maybe with "DoubleuIPeeEe Dash areheff root" it would have become a privacy friendly toilet 😉 (see https://man.archlinux.org/man/wipe.1 )
