🎤 *A vision for software freedom in 2048 by Matthias Kirschner*
🔗 https://ep2026.europython.eu/session/a-vision-for-software-freedom-in-2048
📝 Abstract:
Our litigation against Apple in front of the European Court of Justice, pushing for sustainable long term funding for Free Software in the EU and member states, "Public Money? Public Code!", Device Neutrality, Router Freedom, Free Your Android, assistance with licensing questions, a European coding competition for teenagers, and a tale of software, skateboards, and raspberry ice cream. These are some of the activities by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), which at this year's Europython celebrates its 25 anniversary in empowering users to control technology.
How would the world like in our area in 2048, if the FSFE has been successful? This talk will give an overview of the FSFE's vision, invite participants to give feedback on the next decades of our journey, and invite everyone to join those who shaped our work for software freedom at the FSFE's anniversary party on Saturday.
