Mit einem wegweisenden Beschluss hat sich #Dortmund dem Einsatz von #FreierSoftware verschrieben. Der Rat der Stadt hat mit einer überwältigenden, fraktionsübergreifenden Mehrheit den Weg für „Public Money? #PublicCode!“ freigemacht.
With a groundbreaking resolution, #Dortmund has committed itself to the use of #FreeSoftware. An overwhelming, cross-faction majority of the city council has paved the way for "Public Money? #PublicCode!”

Read in our September newsletter about a new strong alliance formed by administrations, business and civil society organisations asking for "A place for #PublicCode".

The increased use of #FreeSoftware is a central component for more digital sovereignty. Together with a strong alliance of administrations, politics, business and civil society, we call for the development of a code repository with Free Software for the public sector.
Der verstärkte Einsatz von Freier Software ist ein zentraler Baustein für mehr Digitale Souveränität.
Gemeinsam mit einem starken Bündnis aus Verwaltung, Politik, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft fordern wir die Schaffung eines Code Repository mit Freier Software für die öffentliche Hand.

100 days ago, the new Green-Red coalition in #Munich adopted the principle of 'Public Money? Public Code!' to guide their procurement of software. Now, we take a look at the first activities undertaken for the use of #FreeSoftware.
#PublicCode
After the city of #Barcelona and the Parliament of #Asturias now the Municipality of #Benigànim, #Spain, commits to the principles of our #publiccode campaign by publishing any publicly financed software development as #FreeSoftware. They also plan to gradually switch to Free Software in all municipal facilities.
Against strong recommendations by #WHO, #Denmark does not publish their #Corona tracing app as #FreeSoftware. This is counterproductive: keeping the app proprietary eliminates transparency, effective reviews and trust.
Router Freedom in Europe +++ Hamburg pro Free Software +++ European Parliament too
In our June #Newsletter read among other things about #RouterFreedom in #Europe, about a new coalition agreement in #Hamburg that puts a focus on #FreeSoftware and about the #EuropeanParliament demanding #publiccode. As always, also read about our diverse community activities.

After the last government of SPD and CSU had distanced itself from the prior progressive #FreeSoftware strategy, the new coalition agreement in Munich commits to the principle of "Public Money? #PublicCode !". The FSFE welcomes this decision by the new government and will closely monitor the progress of the implementation.
We demand that the use of tracking technologies that aim at breaking the chains of disease infection may only be promoted on a voluntary basis, fundamental rights must be respected and the software must be published under a #FreeSoftware licence.
