<h3>Free Software and “Public Money? Public Code!”</h3>
|
||||
<p>Free Software gives everyone the right to use, study, share and improve applications for any purpose. These freedoms ensure that similar applications do not have to be programmed from scratch every time and, thanks to transparent processes, others do not have to reinvent the wheel. In large projects, expertise and costs can be shared and applications paid for by the general public are available to all. This promotes innovation and saves taxpayers’ money in the medium to long term. Dependencies on vendors are minimised and security issues can be fixed more easily. The Free Software Foundation Europe, together with over 200 organisations and administrations, is therefore calling for “Public Money? Public Code!” - If it is public money, it should be public code as well.</p>

Among the jury members is Alexios Zavras, who has been involved since the very first edition of the contest. Let us hear his insights on the
|

<p>After six months of programming, Youth Hacking 4 Freedom (YH4F) participants are submitting their projects at the end of June, which
|

will be evaluated by our experts. <a href="/activities/yh4f/jury">Our jury</a> is composed by 16 professionals with a different focus on Free Software. With their help, we cover
|
||||
a wide range of technical aspects and ensure that an expert is always available to evaluate a participant's project. One of our experts is
|
||||
Alexios Zavras, who has been involved with Free Software since 1983 and is an advocate for software freedom.</p>

jury member for this competition?</p>

</div>
|

|
||||
<div class="answer">
|
||||
<p><strong>Alexios</strong>: I was inspired to become a jury member for YH4F because I believe in empowering young people to explore their creativity

and technical skills. The opportunity to support and encourage the next generation of programmers, while promoting the values of Free Software, aligns
|
||||
with my passion for technology and education.</p>

|

<p><strong>Alexios</strong>: I enjoy witnessing the innovative ideas and solutions that young participants bring to the table. It is incredibly

rewarding to see their enthusiasm and dedication, and to be part of a community that fosters growth and learning. The projects submitted address

actual problems that often surprise me. </p>

<div class="answer">
|
||||
<p><strong>Alexios</strong>: My favorite thing about the competition is the sense of community and collaboration it fosters among participants.
|
||||
It is inspiring to see young programmers working together, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other in their projects. I am not only talking
|

about teams working together and submitting a project, but also the interaction when these young creators meet each other for the first time in the award ceremony.</p>

<div class="answer">
|
||||
<p><strong>Alexios:</strong> Key skills include problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. Technical proficiency is important, but the ability to think critically

and work effectively with others is crucial for developing impactful projects. In the case of team work, coordination and project management skills are also crucial.</p>

<p><strong>Alexios</strong>: I am most impressed by projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of user needs and provide innovative solutions

to real-world problems. When participants show empathy and insight into their target audience, it elevates their work significantly. The best projects
|

are the ones where the creators are also users, since they build something "to scratch their own itch."</p>

clear communication and documentation. Additionally, do not be afraid to iterate and refine your ideas, embrace feedback as a tool for growth

<p>And we are back for our 35th episode of the Software Freedom Podcast with our monthly update on policy decisions, votes and discussions in the European Union!
|

Together Bonnie Mehring and Alexander Sander talk about one specific policy topic in regard to Free Software. This month they sat down and covered the vote on the

Tech sovereignty INI in the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE).</p>
|

<p>Bonnie and Alex, talk about the vote in the ITRE committee on the <a href="https://oeil.secure.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/en/procedure-file?reference=2025/2007(INI)">European technological
|
||||
sovereignty and digital infrastructure</a> Own-initiative procedure (INI). As already discussed in our previous episode, this report is remarkable in many respects, among other things
|
||||
because there is a far-right rapporteur. We discuss what impact this has on the report and how the European Parliament is dealing with the issue. Alex and Bonnie shed some light on this
|
||||
and explain the procedures, the status of Free Software in the currently approved version of the technological sovereignty INI and discuss some likely outcomes for the upcoming weeks
|

before the summer break.</p>
