<!-- The FSFE is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year and we would
like you to be part of it.-->
Since its foundation in 2001 we have achieved many things. The FSFE has
been instrumental in a successful antitrust-case against a big software
corporation that was intent on dominating the market of personal
computers; we have managed to maintain software patents unenforceable in
Europe, avoiding a veritable apocalypse for small and medium-sized tech
companies; and we have worked alongside gpl-violations.org to get free
licenses vindicated in German courts of law, setting ground-breaking
2016-08-09 11:36:37 +00:00
precedents for the whole of the EU.

So we feel the need to celebrate. To do that we have organised a
"< em > Get to know your Local Free Software Hero< / em > " awareness
campaign. The idea is we put community members in touch with the
press in the region where you live. < em > Local heroes< / em > can explain
to journalists how the Free Software community affects the
people near you, the benefits it has on education, the health system,
the local economy and the lives of citizens in general. If you are
journalist, blogger, vlogger, podcaster, or a private citizen who can
2016-08-09 10:41:38 +00:00
help us get in touch with a media outlet, big or small, < a href = "/press/press.html" > get in touch
with us< / a > and we'll tell you who your local heroes
2016-08-04 07:57:18 +00:00
are and how to meet them.
