 It's 9 o'clock in the morning. Welcome to FSAPE's Community Meeting 2019 here at SAP Scon. That was last year in Strasbourg, our Community Meeting. I'm going to be here in Pozano this year. Thanks a lot to Patrick, our financial officer of the FSAPE, and the host here of SFScon for having us here. I'm very glad to be here in the mountains with you all again. Thank you for that. I want to give you a quick overview of what FSAPE did in the last 12 months. Some highlights, you will not be able to mention everything, but a few of the things and also a little bit about what would happen today. Enjoy the rest of the day together. So, I just quickly start with a topic where Carmen yesterday already gave a presentation. One of the keynotes here is about the reuse project. One of our goals is to make it easy for people to use and develop free software. And the goal with the reuse project is to make license information easily readable by humans and machines, so the software can more easily be reused again, so that you don't have to care that much about all those licenses and compliance, what we have to care about. So, that's the goal of this project. Carmen talked about it already yesterday. More information is available on the website, and we released a new version of the reuse project in August. So, have a look at that. That's something we've worked on in the last 12 months again. Also related to the reuse project, we used it in these activities in the next generation internet. So, we are part of a consortium in the European funding project, and the goal there is to build a platform, a platform for openness, transparency, inclusiveness, and projects are applied there, and when they are accepted, the consortium of projects will help them to manage to fulfill their obligations there, and we help them that their software is compliant, that all of the software is under free software license. We are using the reuse recommendations for that as well, and by the end of 2021, there will be 150 projects, all of them will be free software, and we will make sure to help them that they are license compliant, and Gabriel will talk about that as we are back today, so we will hear more. Furthermore, we were involved in an activity about the radio equipment directive that's on the European level, and what they want to do is, or they are at the moment the directive, is hindering people to install free software on radio-capable devices, and that's nowadays almost everything, so from laptop to mobile phone to routers, everything which has some kind of Wi-Fi, 5G or other chips in there, and our goal there is to explain the regulators how problematic that is for free software, there is very little knowledge about that there at the moment, so we have to try very hard to explain this, this regulation is already there, and we are working on this to help people to understand more how we can remove barriers to using free software in this area. Another regulation on the European level where we were involved in was the copyright directive, and so the copyright directive as you might have seen, I introduced some problematic filters, one thing we have been able to accomplish at least is that in the regulation free software developing platforms are excluded, so that's even so the whole directive itself, there are a lot of problematic parts in there, we were able to make the regulators understand that free software is so important to have our own exception for this in there, and that's what we accomplished there together with many people who supported this activity, so one small name there, and a recognition for free software within a regulation, which lots of people agree is not the best regulation. So Alex will later also talk about that, and then we want to make sure that people understand more of what free software is and how they can use it, and we were involved in a new project called FOSFOR SMEs, creating learning materials for small and medium size enterprises that they can better understand and use free software, and that's a project from the Erasmus program, we were involved there in the consortium, created materials, and that's finished now, a few weeks ago what the project was finalized, so there's now material there for smaller companies to learn more about free software, so that they are also able to benefit from the advantages of the software there, and as you might have seen, our campaign, public money, public code, we continue to work on this, raise awareness amongst politicians, amongst civil servants, with people in our community about why it's important that public defined software should be published under free software license. Also in the last 12 months what is new is that we published an export brochure together with many people from the community, providing further information about this topic, and later at 1240, Bonnie will have a talk about another small activity which we now started for public money, public code bringing this down to the local level, bringing mails to mails and educating them about free software. So also related to public administrations, there was again some update from Munich, so long-term project there, and all the time also the source of a lot of misinformation about free software and why you can't use free software in public administration. So our German team with Florian and Björn, they published an update about what is going on in Munich, also that people outside of Germany learn about that. Usually there's a lot of information inside Germany, but not so much outside. So they published that, and then there was some good news there because political satirists, she received an award by the city of Munich, and in her award talk she criticized the decision from the mayor to switch back to Microsoft Windows, so to make that bit more clear. So the mayor in the middle here, he gave this award to the political satirist here on the left side, and she criticized the move and then took the 10,000 euros she got as the award and gave it to the organization of the guy. We are back there with the video equipment who recorded the ceremony. So that's up here. So yes, that's what happened there, so we were very happy about that. We received a donation and also the advertisement we received there was a huge town hall meeting and then she was criticizing that it was beside them. We were also again involved in the European elections, so that's something we do for many years now that for elections we contact politicians before asking them about their positions on free software and inform them about our positions. So we did that again for the European elections. We then also identified and realized in the parliament so we have a lot of members of parliament moving out, lots of them moving in. You have to make sure that you have again good connections with people in parliament. We did that also organized again some policy events and we're very happy about that. We also had the freedom vote again in Switzerland so a jump in here, we'll talk later about this where we used the opportunity of the Swiss elections to educate people there about the positions of the candidates of free software and some other topics but then we'll talk more about that later. One other topic where we were involved for a very long time but which came now up again in the last 12 months again was the topic of our freedom. So in Germany we worked on that from 2013 to 2016 and we were able there to get the regulation that ISPs are not allowed to force you to use a certain router which usually is using proprietary software. So you are able to choose your own router, you were able to accomplish that on a German level and it was even written in the correlation agreement that that should be removed and that was done. Now the whole thing comes up on the European level so the same companies, they are trying to push now on the European level to override the German part as well and what we did there was now translating a lot of materials we had in German about that topic making sure that everybody out there in the European Union who wants to fight against this that you can do so, that you have information there with arguments and background information which work in Germany so we hope that we are able to prevent that from happening on the European level. We will monitor that, look us back there people also have a talk about that at 10.20. So keep an eye on that and let us know what is going on in your countries about that. Furthermore, we again had our Ella Free Software Day event we criticized each other heavily during the whole year we want to have one day where we say thank you to each other in the Free Software community that's the 14th of February and later at 2.10 we have a session where each one of you can give a short dedication to a Free Software program or a Free Software developer whom you appreciate and would like to say thank you and tell the others why you like that so think about it and let us know when you want to say something register the booth and then you can also have a small slot for us in all the papers of the program or the developer, I think, thank you. Then the whole case about who are why and the US government banning who are why that raised a lot of attention for our Free Software Android activities so decide the talks and the workshops we give in this direction there were a lot of companies who were interested in this topic or who were interested in the topic before so we have a lot of people there to understand like what parts of the software or parts of Free Software what can you do to make sure that you can still use Free Software on your mobile phones later at Marvin over there we'll have a talk about MicroG which is a replacement for the Google Play services so you can use Free Software in this area so yeah, that's the activities there furthermore we again organize our legal licensing workshop we have over 400 participants in the legal network discussing topics about Free Software legal licensing issues helping them to connect with each other to learn from each other so that they are able to use more Free Software in their companies we had a 12th workshop about that with 135 participants and yeah, Nadar Carlo will also give a talk Nadar Carlo will give a talk about some basics around Free Software licensing we also, it's important for the FSE to have more volunteers contributing to the organization so we also improve the information how you can do so so our website fsd.org has improved and hopefully this will have an effect on our next month of volunteer contributions we also, for our infrastructure it's important that our servers are running reliable that our website is running reliable and improved as the first phase for a lot of people when they learn about the FSE so we again had several battle tons on the web team and our system the team also had several first meetings to improve the infrastructure there and later at 310 we are from our system hackers team we'll give a presentation about some improvements they made for the blocking platform when we have all those volunteers we also want to make sure that other people see who is involved in the organization who is supporting us and why people are supporting us so we also heavily improved or created a website now highlighting the people who are involved who are supporting us who are contributing with their volunteer time so on this website we have a testimonial page with some small videos where people explain what they are doing and so later there's also a breakout session where if you want to contribute you can also discuss some ways and what you can do so from 4.30 to 5.40 we have this session together and think about discussing something working on something together if you are interested in something we will register that but I will also explain that before the session we had a lot of events again so 60 events in over 11 countries several talks about public money public code one other high night we talked about security and free software we talked about sustainability we also gave a presentation about lots of new material and merchandise our booth is over there you can always go there and make sure to equip yourself with the materials available we have a new podcast listen to it on fsv.org new slash podcast let us know how you like it and tomorrow we plan to have a walk together so it's our plan to meet at the train station at 12.30 and walk a little bit up the mountains and around Pulsano it should be around 2.5 to 3 hours we have to see how the weather conditions are so please let us know if you are interested in that and we will let you know on Sunday morning what exactly the plans are and many small people please don't lean back and think about these heroes coming and saving us that's not how we will make any change it will be each one of you doing one small thing which you are able to change and the sum of that with this we will be able to make a change so thank you very much for being here and for helping others to make sure that they can use free software for any purpose without any discrimination that people are able to understand how software works around us that you are able to use free software with others again and that also we are able to improve software for our own needs adopted to our own needs and not change ourselves as individuals organization or society to fit what someone else thought how we should work so thank you very much and I am looking forward to the whole day with you thank you
