12-29, 13:00–13:50 (Europe/Berlin), Bits&Bäume Workshop Area
Language: English
Join this session to gain a deeper understanding of the work of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and how the organisation empowers users to take control of technology. We will explore FSFE’s wide range of activities — from advocacy and policy work at the European level to practical initiatives such as “Public Money? Public Code!”, which promotes publicly funded software being released as Free Software. Explore how we fight for Device Neutrality and how we want to spark children's interest in coding.
The session will also highlight FSFE’s legal support efforts, community-building activities, and public awareness campaigns that help ensure technology remains accessible, transparent, and shaped by its users rather than by restrictive corporate or governmental control.
