World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is een VN conferentie, georganiseerd door de ITU, om belangrijke principes voor de informatie- en kennismaatschappij vast te leggen. De FSF Europa neemt, samen met verschillende andere burgerorganisaties, deel aan deze conferentie om er voor te zorgen dat de principes van het digitale tijdperk niet alleen door de media-industrie en regeringen wordt bepaald en ook om te voorkomen dat de mensenrechten beperkt gaan worden door technische afspraken.

Der Bürgerturm ("Citizen's Tower")

The "Bürgerturm" was the vision of a building by the people for the people in real an virtual space, based upon and rooted in the principles of Free Software. The FSF Europe was involved in the first steps of the project and although the vision didn't come true, it might still be of interest and something that someone might pick up again in the future.

Classification of Free Software as a World Cultural Heritage

The objectives are to have Free Software classified as an intangible world cultural heritage by the UNESCO, and registered in the World Memory Register (another UNESCO project). The Free Software community and the UNESCO share the same freedom, equality and fraternity values. Such a recognition would be a great promotion of Free Software.

AGNULA: A GNU/Linux Audio distribution

The AGNULA project aims at creating a fully functional, entirely Free Software GNU/Linux distribution for professional audio users. It is a project run by key players in the audio field with funding by the European Commission. The FSFE as a partner of this project is taking care of the legal issues, the long-term aspects and also making sure the Free Software community interests are heard.

EUCD - Copyright extensions that harm

The European Copyright Directive (EUCD) is the European equivalent of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). These laws not only lead to the creation of monopolies and cartels, they also provide serious impediments to the Freedoms of speech and press, as they provide means for digital censorship. The FSF Europe is actively involved in the resistance against such harmful legislation.
