Free Software Foundation Europa

Bienvenidos a la página principal de la Free Software Foundation Europe (Fundación para el Software Libre Europa). La FSFE se constituyó el 10 de marzo de 2001 y da soporte a todos los aspectos del Software Libre, especialmente al Proyecto GNU. Apoyamos activamente el desarrollo de Software Libre y sistemas operativos basados en GNU tales como GNU/Linux. Además, proporcionamos un centro de ayuda para políticos, abogados y periodistas, para garantizar el futuro legal, político y social del Software Libre.

El trabajo de la FSFE es posible gracias a muchas contribuciones individuales, en particular las de la Fellowship de la FSFE. Uno de los métodos para contribuir es unirse ahora y animar a otros a hacer lo mismo.

Los resultados irán llegando poco a poco a lo largo del próximo año.

However, the training wheels keep children from falling and give freedom to both the children and their parents. Likewise Wine helped to give freedom and security to the users. It is for this we are thankful and we recognise their work."

[Leer más...] FSFE Newsletter 2008-04-16 It has been another busy month for software freedom. Open Standards have continued to dominate discussions in ICT with the MS-OOXML proposal being accepted by ISO as a standard. FSFE and numerous other parties have observed this process from the beginning and have reason to be concerned about the state of international standardisation.
