Das Auswärtige Amt (AA), einst ein "Leuchtturm-Projekt" für den Einsatz
von Freier Software in den Bundesministerien, wird wieder zu
proprietärer Software zurückkehren. Der Linux-Verband (LIVE) und die
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) bedauern diese Entwicklung.
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) invites individuals, community
groups and institutions to celebrate the Document Freedom Day (DFD) on
March 30th. DFD is a global day to celebrate Open Standards and open
document formats and its importance. Open Standards ensure the freedom
to access your data, and the freedom to build Free Software to write
and read data in specific formats.
Giacomo Poderi and
Sam Tuke are the new Country Coordinators for
the Italian and British Country Teams respectively.
Political veteran Anne discusses new ways influence European legislation, the scale of Free Software support in developing countries, and the importance of local culture in community campaigning.
After months of work by FSFE's
Web Team a new
website design has been launched, bringing with it a fresh look, improved
infrastructure, and new features.
