For all who want to encourage their public administrations to use the #Fediverse please have a look at https://fedigov.eu #Fedigov

(The question came up at the #FediverseFachtag )

Recently I received an e-mail with pictures which touched me, and which showed me how important it is to think about diversity when creating illustrations.

The photos were taken in a school at a hospital run by an international medical organisation that operates in the Middle East and showed children reading the #Arabic translation of Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream.

Here my blog entry about it:

Our sister organisation, the @fsf opened the Call for Sessions for #Libreplanet 2024 https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/call-for-sessions-for-libreplanet-2024-cultivating-community-now-open

@fsfe
Wish you all a good time on 17 August with the book reading of Ada & #Zangemann by Bonnie and the #Reuse talk by @Tobias

Are you travelling with public transport in Germany? Then have a look at https://bahn.expert

There you see lots of important details for which you have to click many times on the regular Deutsch #Bahn website.

Imagine what great services we could have, if public transport organisations would provide more free API access to their data. (Big thanks to @kantorkel for this useful tip!)

Thanks to the organising team of @digitalcourage , the moderators for providing a great frame and atmosphere, the workshop hosts for interesting topics, the staff from the venue, the @bpb for the funding, and of course to all the active participants of the #aktivcongress . Thank you all 👏👏👏

@thisven
Danke Dir. Unter https://publiccode.eu gibt es zu dem Thema auch einen offenen Brief.

“In this hopeful story Ada and her friends join a movement that started back in 1983. Their courageous adventure of #SoftwareFreedom and learning how technology works is a wonderful way to introduce young people everywhere to the joys of #tinkering!”
—Zoë Kooyman, Executive Director, Free Software Foundation

Big thank you to the @fsf staff and volunteers for organising this year's #Libreplanet

It was an honour to hand over those chocolates to several #FreeSoftware contributors, e.g. to @cketti for his work on #K9Mail , @larma for #MicroG + #Dino #XMPP client, Andreas Schildbach for #Oeffi, Holger Levsen for #Debian, Jos for @nextcloud , @Tobias for #Friendica, and so many more... at the #ilovefs party organised by the @fsfe .

Great to hear how many others got a thank you there, e.g. @libreoffice @kdecommunity@gnusocial.de @opensuse and many more.

Hope you like the chocolate!!! ? #nt

I love reading articles about how and why people joined the movement for #SoftwareFreedom

Enjoyed reading about @fsf 's Miriam Bastian's story on our sister organisations blog: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/sharing-is-at-the-core-of-the-free-software-community #nt

Tomorrow is the international day against DRM #IDAD https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm I am proud that both my German publisher #Oreilly and my US publisher #NoStarchPress supported my decision to publish the Ada&Zangemann without #DRM (and even under #CreativeCommons BY-SA ).

Just had one of those "WOW!! WOW!!! WOW!!! ? ? ? " moments when I saw how a #FSFE volunteer fixed something I would otherwise have to spend a lot of time on.

Happy 41st birthday to the Chaos Computer Club #CCC. Thank you for your work for freedom of Information and technology assessment. ?
