In just three years, our #REUSE initiative has successfully changed #licensing practices of at least over five hundred projects. From its adoption by NGI0 projects to a Corona Warn App to @kde , 2020 marks another successful year of this campaign. We used the chance to speak with Andreas Cord-Landwehr about REUSE adoption in the KDE community.: https://fsfe.org/news/2020/news-20201215-01.html

Thanks to #FreeSoftware developers, the German #CoronaWarnApp for tracing #COVID19 risk contacts is available on @fdroidorg without any Google dependencies. This not only fosters software freedom, but also sets the ground for innovative features.

The last test day for public emergency systems in #Germany was an official failure. We looked at the situation from the #FreeSoftware point of view, and analysed what a better system with user friendliness included can look like.

b) a proper desktop client
c) no data stored in "secure enclaves"

Maybe you'd like to tell them, too?

On Wednesday the EU Commission published its new Open Source Strategy. We are pleased that the Commission recognises the benefits of #FreeSoftware and the four freedoms to use, study, share and improve, but the commission lacks concrete targets and indicators to implement the strategy. Without these, we worry that the strategy will end up accomplishing too little!

Are you tired of a centralised Internet where even the #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource video recordings and #streams are hosted and brought to you by Youtube aka Google?

Then join me in supporting #PeerTube and help to develop and integrate live streaming: https://joinpeertube.org/roadmap/

We are getting close to reach the target. You can make all the difference!

Wir haben immer noch zu wenige SchreiberInnen für gnulinux.ch, die alle paar Tage mal einen Artikel für euch schreiben. Joël geht jetzt in die Ferien, so dass es wieder einmal (mehr oder weniger) eine one-man-show wird. Ihr habt so viel Wissen, Interesse und Knowhow; tragt es bei. Es kostet euch nur 15 Minuten am Tag, einen Artikel zu schreiben.
