 <h1>"Back to school" for EU and German policy+++Ada available worldwide</h1>
 <p>
 September brings the resumption of EU politics and the mid-term of the 
 current German government, and we look at them from a Free Software 
 perspective. ‘Ada &amp; Zangemann' can now be ordered internationally, 
 and you can help us translate our 'What is Free Software' video into 
 more EU languages. And remember - rooting your device does not void its 
 warranty.

 <h3 id="#Halftime-for-the-German-government-Thank-you-for-the-fine-words-now-let-the-deeds-speak">Halftime for the German government: Thank you for the fine words, now let the deeds speak!</h3>
 <p>The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), together with an 
 alliance of civil society and the Free Software industry, calls on the 
 German government to <a href="/news/2023/news-20230829-01.html">implement a sustainable digital policy</a> 
 and to provide the necessary funds in the federal budget now.</p>
 <h3 id="Liability-Interoperability-&amp;-Free-Software-in-EU-what-we-are-expecting">Liability, Interoperability &amp; Free Software in EU: what we are expecting</h3>
 <p>After the summer recess, EU institutions are resuming their 
 activities at the end of August. In the coming months, we expect to see 
 the adoption of legislation that could have an impact on Free Software: 
 the Cyber Resilience Act, the Product Liability Directive, the AI Act, 
 and the Interoperable Europe Act. <a 
 href="/news/2023/news-20230824-01.html">What does all this legislation 
 mean 
 for Free Software and its community?</a>.</p>
 <h3 id="#Ada-&amp;-Zangemann-available-now-in-English-worldwide">‘Ada 
 &amp; Zangemann’ – available now in English worldwide</h3> 
 <p>From 29 August the English version of the book <a 
 href="/activities/ada-zangemann/index.html">"Ada &amp; Zangemann - A 
 Tale of 
 Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream"</a> is  <a 
 href="/news/2023/news-20230831-01.html">available 
 internationally</a>. The book tells the story of the famous inventor 
 Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to 
 experiment with hardware and software and realises how important it is 
 for her and others to control technology.</p>
 <h3 id="Unleash-the-potential-of-your-phone-Rooting-your-device-does-not-void-its-warranty">Unleash the potential of your phone: Rooting your device does not void its warranty</h3> 
 <p>As users we sometimes face the issue of rooting our devices. We may 
 want to regain control of our device or we may want to keep using a 
 device with an outdated operating system. But we are afraid of losing 
 our legal warranty. Let’s be clear: Just rooting your device and 
 installing new software <a href="/news/2023/news-20230807-01.html">will not void the statutory warranty</a>.</p>

 <h3 id="Take-Action-Contribute-to-translate-our-What-is-Free-Software-video">Take Action! Contribute to translate our ‘What is Free Software’ video</h3> 
 <p>If you read our email, you already know this. We want to translate 
 our video <a 
 href="https://media.fsfe.org/w/p/9gYSyoEYggsqBExLWjRejL">"What is Free 
 Software"</a> into more European languages! This 
 video explains in less than 3 minutes why Free Software is important, 
 and each translation costs about 250 Euros. Therefore, all 
 contributions until the end of September will be used to help our 
 community in Europe to get the video in their native language. Help us 
 spreading this message or <a href="/donate/donate.html">making a small contribution</a> to support this 
 campaign!</p>
 <h3 id="Chaos-Communication-Camp-2023-back-to-the-grounds">"Chaos 
 Communication Camp 2023: back to the grounds!"</h3> 
 <p>One of our most favourite events was back this summer: Chaos Communication Camp 2023!

 discuss, share, and celebrate technology, privacy, and freedom in 
 Brandenburg, Germany. This year, the Free Software Foundation Europe 
 joined the campers as part of the 'Bits und Bäume' village.</p>
