Mehr als 200 Organisationen und mehr als 31.000 Einzelpersonen fordern, dass öffentlich finanzierte Software unter einer Freien und Open Source Software-Lizenz veröffentlicht wird. Gemeinsam haben wir Politiker:innen, Entscheidungsträger:innen und Beamt:innen auf allen Ebenen - von der Europäischen Union und den nationalen Regierungen bis hin zu Bürgermeister:innen - auf diese Forderung angesprochen. Dies hat nicht nur zu wichtigen Diskussionen über Softwarefreiheit mit Entscheidungsträger:innen geführt, sondern auch bereits zu konkreten politischen Änderungen. Die Iniative "Public Money? Public Code!" wird bereits von Verwaltungen aus Spanien, Schweden und Deutschland unterstützt. In dem Vortrag wird Bonnie Mehring erläutern, wie die Kampagne genutzt werden kann, um sich für Freie Software einzusetzen; sei es in der öffentlichen Verwaltung, in Bibliotheken, Universitäten, Städten, Regionen oder Bundesländern.

On Friday, 18th June at 14:00 pm (CEST), Bonnie Mehring, FSFE's junior project manager, will present "Public Money?

Public Code!" enables people all over Europe to promote software freedom in their local public administration. More than 200 organisations, and more than 29,000 individuals demand that publicly financed software should be made publicly available under Free Software licenses. Together we contacted politicians, decision makers, and civil servants on all levels -- from the European Union and national governments, to city mayors and the heads of public libraries about this demand. This did not just lead to important discussions about software freedom with decision makers, but also already to specific policy changes. Already, we have administrations from Spain, Sweden and Germany supporting "Public Money? Public Code!".

Digitale Demokratie (online)

24 April 2021

Digitale Technologien sind heute Kernbestandteil unseres alltäglichen Lebens. Doch auch in der Infrastruktur moderner Staaten spielen sie eine wichtige Rolle. Schlüsselelement ist hier Freie Software, die den Schutz der Privatsphäre und Souveränität über die eigenen Daten garantiert. Auch, dass Technologien dezentral organisiert sind, ist wichtig, damit große Tech-Konzerne keine absoluten Monopole errichten können und somit eine starke Abhängigkeit an sich. Bedeutend ist dies, da es neben der Sicherstellung von Kontrolle auch um Fragen der Sicherheit und Effizienz geht. Und darüber hinaus auch um die Verteilung von Macht in Form von Einfluss. Alexander Sander wird einen Einblick in dieses Themenfeld geben und steht für Fragen und Anmerkungen bereit.
