Read in our September newsletter about a new strong alliance formed by administrations, business and civil society organisations asking for "A place for #PublicCode". Also read about our call to apply for FSFE support for your local project, our job vacancy, and about our other diverse community activities.
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.
Do you believe that #FreeSoftware should be the default option for publicly financed software? Let’s convince your political representatives!

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.

The FSFE #Newsletter May is out including our demand to publish the results of publicly financed #hackathons as #FreeSoftware +++ #Munich supporting #publiccode +++ new #podcasts +++ Corona tracing apps under a FreeSoftware licence
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.
Security scandal around #WhatsApp shows the need for decentralised #FreeSoftware messengers, #OpenStandards in communication, and digital sovereignty

In the last 12 months, we have achieved a lot with the help of our #volunteers, through their #donations and hard work.
Thanks to their support, we were able to successfully continue our #publiccode campaign, simplify licensing practices through our #REUSE initiative & stand up for #RouterFreedom in Europe. We will be back in 2020 with even more vigour towards our work.
Please help us with a donation so that we can continue our successful commitment to #FreeSoftware: https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20191128-01.html
