Yesterday evening I had the pleasure to meet @luca, the president of @fsi from Italy. He is fighting the fight for free and #opensource software in silicon chip-design. He gave a very interesting overview talk about the ecosystem, tools and funding opportunities that are available. Spoiler alert, most of them are proprietary. :/ You can check it yourself, here is a similar talk he gave at #SFSCON sfscon.it/talks/open-source-si.

A presentation slide titled "Ecosystem" discusses approximately 300 tools and poses questions regarding the best methods to support this ecosystem, such as micro-grants and EU grants. The right side features a complex diagram illustrating various tools and their connections.

Just stumbled over some #SFSCON pictures. It was so great how the NOI read "Ada & #Zangemann" and afterwards did a #Scratch workshop for the kids. 🥰

All the materials you need for a reading are available in our git repro git.fsfe.org/FSFE/ada-zangemann and all licensed under #creativecommons by-sa.

If you don't feel comfortable reading the book, on ada.fsfe.org/movie you can also download the movie of the story (currently in #English and #German soon in other languages as well).

Many children sitting in a U table setup with computers. At the front wall a projector shows a screen with scratch running, trainer standing next to it.

Grazie al grandissimo contributo di Marta, in Italia negli ultimi anni tante persone si sono attivate ed hanno iniziato a contribuire a iniziative importantissime. Vi suggerisco di guardare il video del talk di Marta durante l'ultima #SFSCON dal quale potrete vedere quante persone e associazioni sono attive anche in Italia e come coordinando la community la voce possa raggiungere una visibilità adeguata:

We need to talk about #openwashing! This is one of the findings from our @fsfe community survey earlier this year.

I presented some results from the survey at this year's #SFSCON in Bolzano in November. The recording is now online:
media.fsfe.org/w/cV6B1N36VtjxD

You can still send us your thoughts on openwashing:

Thanks for your input! We are always interested in learning about new openwashing cases.

How to safeguard the Free Software market against unfair competition Companies that produce and sell Free Software face a problem: some competitors use unethical and destructive means to compete, making their products cheaper and winning bids. This kind of market behaviour is increasingly becoming a problem for Free Software producers. Destructive practices include marketing proprietary software under the guise of being Free Software, whether by using free/open wording, by introducing new licences that falsely appear to be free, or by imposing additional barriers that make it more difficult to use the freedoms offered by Free Software. Other competitors sell Free Software products without contributing to their development and maintenance, profiting from the work of others but giving nothing back to the community. This allows them to offer low prices while raising the costs of maintenance for the original manufacturers. For some players, there seems to be no limit to their creativity when it comes to undercutting competitors and winning bids. The Free Software Foundation Europe has been analysing these and other problematic market practices over the last few years. In this talk we will take a closer look at them and show why they harm Free Software manufacturers and the Free Software ecosystem. We will then discuss ways to limit the success of such practices.

With CRA and PLD liability rules for software have been introduced with a broad exception for Free Software. After long and intense debates individual developers and non for profit work are safeguarded. Alexander Sander sheds light on those new rules. Already at an early stage, the FSFE argued in a hearing in the EU Parliament, for the inclusion of clear and precise exemptions for Free Software development in the legislation and for liability to be transferred to those who significantly financially benefit from it on the market. In the future, individual developers and non-profit development of Free Software will be exempt from the CRA and the PLD. Nevertheless, the wording in both the regulations are different and a standardisation processes and guidelines are still being drawn up. In this talk Alexander Sander discusses what this new regulation means for software freedom in future and what happens at this stage and how to be involved in implementation.

What We've Learnt From Looking At 500 Free Software Projects The FSFE is a consortium member of the EU’s Next Generation Internet initiatives (https://fsfe.org/activities/ngi/ngi.en.html). As part of our work there over the past 6 years, we have looked at hundreds of participating Free Software projects, to assist them with their legal and licensing questions, as well as to help them become REUSE compliant. This talk explains some simple trends in Free Software legal and licensing that we’ve observed over the years in independent Free Software projects and their developers, and how these affect aspects of the Free Software ecosystem.

How I applied design-thinking to re-design the Italian Free Software Community The role of Deputy Coordinator Italy within the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) was born in 2022 out of the need of re-establishing the presence of the Foundation on the territory. I designed this three years experimental project together with the Free Software Lab of NOI Techpark with the value proposition of (re)designing the FSFE Italian Community. The project followed a human centric approach, moving along the five core stages of design-thinking. The goal of my talk is to describe the FSFE Italy project and the design-thinking approach adopted. The first year (Y1) served as the understanding phase: I got involved as an FSFE representative in the main communication channels used by the Free Software (FS) community on the territory. I conducted interviews with volunteers, associations’ heads and enthusiasts, took part into the main FS events organized on the territory, mapped all stakeholders (understanding-observing) and created my own point of view (POV). By the end of 2022 I had already became an established FSFE representative on the territory, having gathered inputs and ideas on how to kick off the community into year two (Y2). The goal of year two was to build on these new ideas (ideation) and put these thoughts into action (prototyping) by finding common goals and activities with the main FS associations active on the territory and signing Memorandum of Understandings, preparing the ground to test it in the third year (Y3). Guess what was the result?

During the summer the European Commission made the decision to stop funding Free Software projects within the Next Generation Internet initiative (NGI). This decision results in a loss of €27 million for software freedom. Since 2018, the European Commission has supported the Free Software ecosystem through NGI, that provided funding and technical assistance to Free Software projects. This decision unfortunately exposes a larger issue: that software freedom in the EU needs more stable, long-term financial support. The ease with which this funding was excluded underlines this need. This talk shows the urgent need for sustainable, long-term financial support for Free Software to ensure Europe’s technological independence. CC BY-SA 4.0 - SFSCON 2024

An introduction to the decentralised social network The Fediverse is a decentralised social network. But what does that mean? In this talk, Tobias Diekershoff gives a brief introduction to the status of the Fediverse in 2024 and how it started to evolve in 2008. He explains the basic concepts of ActivityPub as the protocol of the Fediverse and how the use of this open protocol has enabled a diverse group of Free Software projects to build a social network of (micro) blogging, video streaming, podcasting and event organising. A network where users can share and interact with each other regardless of the platform they use. What will be possible in the Fediverse of 2024? And how can you get started today?
