<p><strong>The long way to empower people to control technology </strong></p>
<p>Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. It is
important that this technology empowers rather than restricts us. Free
Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt and share
software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like
freedom of speech, freedom of press and privacy.<br class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg">The Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology by:</p>
<ul><li>Helping individuals and organisations to understand how Free
Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination.</li><li>Enhancing users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software adoption.</li><li>Encouraging people to use and develop Free Software.</li><li>Providing resources to enable everyone to further promote Free Software in Europe.</li></ul><p>In this talk Matthias will talk about how he joined the FSFE,
highlight the importance of Free Software for society, give some
examples of the FSFE's work from the past 15 years, and show how you as
individual or organisation can work with us the FSFE and its local
associate ANSOL for software freedom.</p>
<div class="inbox-inbox-F3hlO">This talk, presented in English, is followed by a
Q&A session you'll be invited to participate in, and in there we
will cover typical misunderstandings surounding Free Software.</div>
