Month</h3>
|
||||
<p>“I have a huge list of advice I would give people participating in
|
||||
Youth Hacking 4 Freedom, but there is one that I would highlight: don't
|
||||
be afraid to submit unfinished projects! Thankfully my mother encouraged
|
||||
me to submit it and my life has completely changed for the better ever
|
||||
since!”</p>

<h3 id="2024-predictions">T minus
|
||||
23 years until 2048</h3>
|
||||
<p>“What will happen in the movement for software freedom in 2025? It is
|
||||
hard for me to make such predictions. What the past 20 years working for
|
||||
the Free Software Foundation Europe have taught me is to be prepared for
|
||||
the things you cannot predict. While predicting the future is always
|
||||
hard, <a href="/news/2025/news-20250103-01.html">we
|
||||
know what we are aiming to accomplish in the long run</a>."</p>

id="fosdem">Ready for FOSDEM? Join our “Legal & Policy
|
||||
issues” and “Funding the FOSS Ecosystem” devrooms</h3>
|
||||
<p>FOSDEM 2025 is around the corner and its schedule is out! This year
|
||||
the FSFE is co-organizing two devrooms: “Legal & Policy issues” and
|
||||
“Funding the FOSS Ecosystem”.</p>
|
||||
<p>For the fifth consecutive year, the FSFE,
|
||||
together with our co-hosts, is proud to organize the <a
|
||||
href="https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/legal-and-policy/">Legal
|
||||
and Policy Issues devroom</a>, a popular track focused on the political
|
||||
and legal challenges in the realm of software freedom.This devroom is now in its 13th edition. </p>
|
||||
<p>This year, we are also contributing to the
|
||||
organization of the <a
|
||||
href="https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/funding/"><em>Funding the
|
||||
FOSS Ecosystem</em></a> devroom. Debuting at this FOSDEM edition, this
|
||||
track aims to bring together developers, maintainers, policymakers,
|
||||
entrepreneurs, donors, and funders to explore sustainable funding models
|
||||
and mechanisms that ensure the longevity and security of FOSS
|
||||
projects.</p>
|

|

<h3 id="apple-litigation">The FSFE demands that Apple provide broader interoperability</h3>
|
||||
<p>In parallel to <a href="/activities/apple-litigation/apple-litigation.html">the litigation efforts against Apple</a>, the FSFE
|
||||
continues to collaborate with the European Commission and other stakeholders in
|
||||
the implementation of the DMA. The FSFE is participating in a comprehensive study
|
||||
on how Apple's interoperability policies negatively affect Free
|
||||
Software. The study has been accepted by a <a
|
||||
href="https://kgi.georgetown.edu/events/dma-and-beyond-conference/">conference to be held
|
||||
in Washington DC</a> organised by the renowned Knight-Georgetown
|
||||
Institute and Yale University. </p>
|
||||
<p>Besides, the FSFE is working together other civil
|
||||
society organisations to submit a position for the Commission's public
|

2025 edition and interviews with 2024 participants </h3>
|
||||
<p>The new edition of YH4F has officially begun, marking the start of
|
||||
its programming period earlier this month. As we eagerly await the
|
||||
exciting projects this fourth edition will unveil, we talked with three
|

participants from the last edition: <a

|
||||
Simon</a>, and <a href="/news/2025/news-20250107-01.html">Sofia, who was one of the 2024 winners</a>.</p>
|
||||
<p>On 9 January the competition kicked off with its opening event in which
|
||||
participants got information about the contest and their questions were
|

answered, while learning some tips from former winners.</p>

<p>The Free Software Foundation Europe, along with over
|

sixteen thousand attendees, <a href="/news/2025/news-20250110-01.html">took part in the 38th Chaos Communication
|
||||
Congress with a booth, several talks, and a lot of stickers</a>. It was a

<h3 id="zooom">The FSFE promotes freedom of software, hardware,
|
||||
and data</h3>
|
||||
<p>The ZOOOM (3Os) Initiative promotes innovation based on freedom of
|
||||
software, hardware, and data. With its recent conclusion, the FSFE hopes
|
||||
to inspire broader use and effective application of Free Software by
|
||||
business, academia, and the public sector.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In only two years, the ZOOOM project produced comprehensive research
|
||||
merging aspects of Free Software, Open Data and Open Hardware. Focusing
|
||||
on the importance of these assets for the future of AI, the initiative
|
||||
not only produced scientific materials tackling legal and business
|
||||
issues regarding Free Software, but also developed a series of
|
||||
recommendations.
