🇪🇺 Brussels speaks clearly. @EU_Commission confirmed to us: The #DigitalMarketsAct is non-negotiable, not even as part of trade talks with Donald Trump.

💪 We welcome the EC’s reaffirmation of its commitment to neutral, robust, and evidence-based enforcement of the #DMA. But we call on the Commissioners to strengthen enforcement and make sure gatekeepers cannot get away with circumventing the law.

FrOSCon 2025 - Cybersicherheit in der Gesellschaft


By Alexander Sander and Michael Schuster

Der Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) wird derzeit implementiert und noch immer herrschen einige Unklarheiten in Hinblick auf seine Auswirkungen auf die Freie Software Landschaft. Insbesondere die Rolle der Stewards ist teilweise unklar. Der Vortrag wird den aktuellen Stand der Debatte beleuchten als auch Wege und Lösungen aufzeigen, wie mit den verschiedeneren Freie-Software-Akteuren umgegangen werden sollte.

Zur Zeit ist unklar, inwiefern die verschiedenen Freie-Software-Anbieter vom Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) betroffen sind. Um Klarheit herzustellen Bedarf es Informationen, wer welche Rolle einnehmen wird und welche Aufgabe und Prozesse durchzuführen sind. Insbesondere die Rolle der Verwalter quelloffener Software (Open-Source Stewards) und Tätigkeiten bei Freier Software außerhalb des kommerziellen Interesses sind dabei von besonderer Bedeutung.

Um sich den Fragen zu näheren haben wir eine Fragebogen an relevante Stakeholder ausgespielt, deren Ergebnisse wir vortragen wollen. Zudem wollen wir Wege aufzeigen, wie die Ergebnisse in den Implementierungsprozess des CRA einfließen können.

I feel safe knowing as these #CRA regulations get written that will impact all of #FOSS, that @fsfe has got @lexelas on the case to make sure those regulations will truly help #FreeSoftware & #OpenSource.

There are so many lobbyists like #OSI & #LinuxFoundation pushing CRA-related agendas that don't serve FOSS or, more importantly, the EU citizens that CRA should protect.

#FSFE puts EU citizens & the FOSS community first!

Thanks so much to them!

FrOSCon 2025 - 100 Tage Schwarz-Rot: Ein Aufbruch für Freie Software?


By Johannes Näder

Im Koalitionsvertrag der neuen Bundesregierung aus CDU, CSU und SPD ist von ambitionierten Zielen für Freie Software die Rede. Erstmals wurden in Deutschland zentrale Zuständigkeiten in einem eigenen Digitalministerium gebündelt. Diese Woche ist die Regierung seit genau 100 Tagen im Amt – ein guter Zeitpunkt für eine erste Bilanz: Was hat sich die Regierung im Bereich Freier Software und digitaler Souveränität vorgenommen? Welche konkreten Entwicklungen sind bislang erkennbar, und welche Rolle übernimmt das neue Digitalministerium bisher? Zeichnen sich schon jetzt Fortschritte in Richtung digitaler Souveränität durch Freie Software ab? Oder bleibt die Regierung hinter den Erwartungen zurück und setzt die Abhängigkeit der öffentlichen Verwaltung von proprietären Anwendungen fort?

Der Vortrag analysiert den Status quo der Digitalpolitik aus Perspektive der Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). Wir fragen, wie ernst es die neue Koalition mit digitaler Souveränität meint – und wo jetzt dringender politischer Handlungsbedarf besteht, damit Deutschlands öffentliche Verwaltungen in Richtung „Public Money? Public Code!“ vorankommen. Die FSFE fordert auch von der neuen Regierung, mit öffentlichen Mitteln entwickelte Software unter Freie-Software-Lizenzen zu veröffentlichen und die nachhaltige Finanzierung Freier Software zu sichern.

First moves after our 100-day critique: According to BILD, Digital Minister Wildberger is considering a “Microsoft kick-out.” The BMDS announced it will rely on Open Source “wherever possible” and plans to test #openDesk as an alternative to Microsoft Office.

Is this the promised push for #FreeSoftware? We’ll keep watching and asking — until #PublicCode becomes reality.

La favola dell’anonimato online. Il post di F-Norm Society sull'attacco degli Stati ai diritti dei cittadini

Si racconta la favola dell’anonimato online come la causa di tutti i mali. Il problema è che qualcuno ci crede. Non solo. Il problema è anche che chi ci crede è anche una politica che pensa così di soddisfare un finto problema con una proposta di soluzione stupida. Così stupida che viene addirittura giustificata con l’intenzione di rendere Internet e gli ecosistemi digitali “più sicuri” rendendoli praticamente ad accesso controllato.
