<blockquote>
<p>“ I already loved the book, I loved the wonderful story and
the even more wonderful little people in the story. I was just
so inspired by it myself, not to mention my kids really, really
loved the book and and now it has become a film!"</p>

animated movie 'Ada &amp; Zangemann'.</cite>

<h3 id="Ada">Ada &amp; Zangemann movie: celebrating Ada Lovelace Day with our community</h3>
<p>The FSFE celebrated Ada Lovelace Day on October 8 with a special
event for its supporters: the global English premiere of the
animated movie <strong>'Ada &amp; Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards,
and Raspberry Ice Cream'</strong>. Vint Cerf, often referred to as one of
the "fathers of the Internet", and Franziska Heine, Executive
Director of Wikimedia Germany, gave special speeches during the
event.</p> <p>The movie is now published <a href="https://ada.fsfe.org/movie">on the FSFE's website</a> and
made available to the public under the Creative Commons By
Share-Alike Licence, as an Open Education Resource. During the next
months the FSFE will release other language version of the movie on
<a href="https://ada.fsfe.org/movie">ada.fsfe.org/movie</a>.</p>
<p><em>Share the movie and all the Ada &amp; Zangemann resources with your community!</em></p>
<h3 id="NGI-funding">The FSFE demanded the EU Commission sustainable long-term Free Software funding</h3>
<p>ARecently, the European Commission announced <a href="/news/2024/news-20240719-01.html">a €27 million cut</a>
in the funding allocated to the Next Generation Internet (NGI)
initiative, which has supported Free Software projects with funding
and technical assistance since 2018. Despite its proven success,
the European Commission decided to cut this funding in the current
draft of the Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme, highlighting the
larger issue of the lack of long-term, sustainable public funding
for Free Software projects. Since July, we have been active on this
issue, <a href="/news/2024/news-20240808-01.html">we tried to get in touch with the European Commission</a>,
reached out to our community and <a href="/news/2024/news-20240828-01.html">spread the news</a> around
Europe.</p>
<p>Recently, <a href="/news/2024/news-20240911-01.html">the FSFE participated in a public consultation</a>
organized by the European Commission to provide feedback on the
EU's Digital Europe funding programme, emphasizing that cutting
funding for Free Software risks steering Europe away from policies
that ensure people’s control over their own technology. At the same
time, <a href="/news/2024/news-20240911-02.html">we asked the community to do the same</a> and to take part in the
consultation.</p>
<p><strong>Our call was heard:</strong> the consultation received <em>789
responses</em>, <em>70%</em> of which came from individual citizens. Together, we
made it clear that long-term, dedicated funding for Free Software
is essential to ensuring Europe’s control over its technological
future. We thank everyone who took part in amplifying the Free
Software community’s voice. Once public, we will analyse the
results and will follow up with the Commission and other EU bodies
with those results; to make sure your voice remains heard.</p>
<p>This consultation was not a stand-alone event—it is a key step in our
ongoing effort to ensure that Free Software receives long-term,
sustainable funding. We remain committed to influencing policy
decisions and advocating for Free Software, and we will keep you
informed as we continue this important work. The EU’s digital
strategy can only reach its full potential if it systematically
focuses on Free Software. We will continue our efforts to make sure
software freedom is consistently supported across Europe with the
needed sustainable long-term fund.</p>
<h3 id="Apple-EC">Apple vs Commission: The FSFE submits its arguments</h3>
<p>In August this year, the FSFE was <a href="/news/2024/news-20240812-01.html">admitted in the litigation
brought by Apple</a> against the European Commission in relation to the
Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple is trying to avoid obligations
related to its App Store and the interoperability of its operating
system and devices.</p>
<p>On 12th September the FSFE submitted its arguments, arguing how
interoperability is key for our digital societies. Apple must abide
DMA obligations not only for fairer competition on digital markets
but also for open internet, software freedom and better device and
software security. More information will be publish soon on our website.</p>
<h3 id="YH4F">Software Freedom in Europe 2024</h3>
<p>In September we published our annual report, <a href="/news/2024/news-20240920-01.html">Software Freedom in
Europe</a>. This report highlights our achievements, showcasing our
success stories, milestones and activities over the past twelve
months.</p>
<h3 id="take-action">Get active: European SFS Award Nomination</h3>
