<h2>About the FSFE</h2>
|

<p>
|

|
|
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
|
|
|
|
|
control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our
|
|
|
|
|
lives and it is important that technology empowers rather than
|
|
|
|
|
restricts us. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use,
|
2021-07-21 20:18:25 +00:00
|
|
|
understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other
|
|
|
|
|
fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press, and privacy.

The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free
|
|
|
|
|
Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and
|
|
|
|
|
self-determination. It enhances users' rights by abolishing barriers
|
|
|
|
|
to Free Software adoption, encourages people to use and develop Free
|
|
|
|
|
Software, and provides resources to enable everyone to further
|
|
|
|
|
promote Free Software in Europe.

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
We are involved in <a href="/activities/">many activities</a> in the
|
|
|
|
|
legal, economic, political and technical areas around Free Software.
|
|
|
|
|
Our work is made possible by a community of volunteers, supporters,
|
|
|
|
|
donors, and staff. The assistant system administrator's job will
|
|
|
|
|
strengthen the technical backbone of our operations.

Free Software is meant to serve everyone regardless of their age,

|
|
reference to any of the characteristics listed. To promote diversity
|

and equality in the Free Software community, we shall give preference
|
|
|
|
|
to applicants who identify as part of a traditionally marginalised
|
|
|
|
|
demographic in technology for applications of equal strength.
