About FSFE
The Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives; and it is important that this technology empowers rather than restricts us.
Since its foundation in 2001, the FSFE has been working every single day to further Free Software in Europe and beyond. With our concrete activities,based upon the three pillars of our work, we focus on protecting and extending user rights. Some of our actions run for many years, some are aimed at short-term developments, but all are part of our mission: empower users to control technology.
You can find our goals defined in our mission statement, as well as the methods we use to achieve them. In our timeline, we collected our most important achievements since 2001 for promoting and defending software freedom in Europe, within various areas.
