<h1>Chaos Communication Camp 2023: back to the grounds!</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
One of our favourite events was back this summer: Chaos Communication
|
||||
Camp 2023! This popular quadrennial event brings together technologists,
|
||||
activists and enthusiasts from around the world to discuss, share and
|
||||
celebrate technology, privacy and freedom in Brandenburg, Germany. This
|
||||
year, the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) joined the campers as
|
||||
part of the 'Bits und Bäume' village.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For five days, from the 15th to the 19th of August, this open-air event
|
||||
in Zehdenick brought together 6000 people from all over the world to
|
||||
exchange technical, social and political ideas. In the Bits und Bäume
|
||||
village, the FSFE crew set up a booth with comfortable air cushions for
|
||||
people to talk, read and discuss Free Software. This relaxed and
|
||||
welcoming environment encouraged participants to network and interact
|
||||
within the Free Software community.

|
||||
As well as taking part in fruitful discussions and listening to
|
||||
interesting presentations, our team at the camp also took to the stage
|
||||
to share some of our initiatives with the participants.
|

<h2>FSFE talks, workshops, book reading ...</h2>
|

<p>
|
||||
Under the title "Sharing the Power of Appreciation: I Love Free Software
|
||||
Day", Bonnie Mehring gave an in-depth explanation of FSFE's <a
|
||||
href="/activities/ilovefs">I Love Free Software Day</a>, highlighting
|
||||
the importance of this event to raise awareness and gratitude for Free
|
||||
Software contributors. Although this initiative has been going on for
|
||||
over a decade, this was the first time there had been a public talk
|
||||
about its history, the importance of the day, past activities, and
|
||||
future activities.

<a href="/activities/yh4f">Youth Hacking 4 Freedom</a>, FSFE's coding
|
||||
contest for young Europeans, was also presented at CCCamp, in this case
|
||||
on the Youth Hackt stage. This presentation showed the importance of
|
||||
involving young people in Free Software, encouraging them to be part of
|
||||
the movement, and helping them to meet like-minded people and make
|
||||
friends during the competition. The second round of the contest is <a
|
||||
href="/news/2023/news-20230724-01.html"> currently underway</a>, while
|
||||
the third round will be announced by the end of the year. To stay tuned,

At the Bits und Bäume workshop tent, Tobias Diekershoff explained the <a
|
||||
href="https://reuse.software/">REUSE tool</a>. This interactive session
|
||||
showed attendees how to use this set of tools as well as its benefits
|
||||
for managing and sharing Free Software projects. REUSE allows defines a
|
||||
standardized method for declaring copyright and licensing for software
|
||||
projects, emphasising the importance of proper licensing and
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Last but not least, we also have an event with the little "campers". A
|
||||
captivating book reading session of the book<a
|
||||
href="/activities/ada-zangemann/">" Ada and Zangemann"</a> in the Family
|
||||
Village. This heartwarming story introduced young and not-so-young
|
||||
readers into the world of technology, tinkering, and software freedom
|
||||
through the adventures of Ada, a young hacker who learns to control and
|
||||
understand technology.</p>

<h2>...and Free Software Sing-along</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
True to our tradition, we organised the Free Software Sing-along, a
|
||||
delightful and fun activity that served as an easy entry point for
|
||||
newcomers to learn about and engage with the Free Software Foundation
|
||||
Europe. Three sessions were held, each with musical accompaniment.
|
||||
Participants enjoyed singing along while connecting with like-minded
|
||||
people.

<h2>The FSFE at the Chaos Communication Camp</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
FSFE's active participation in Chaos Communication Camp 2023 as part of
|
||||
the 'Bits und Bäume' village, village left an indelible mark. The
|
||||
engaging talks, workshops, book readings and singalongs helped raise
|
||||
awareness and educate participants about the importance of software
|
||||
freedom by promoting the values of Free Software at the Chaos
|
||||
Communication Camp.

The event was a lot of fun and wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and
|
||||
commitment of our volunteers. Thank you for joining us at the Chaos
|

Communication Camp 2023! ❤️❤️❤️
