I am Cryptie, I am living in Paris, France. I used to be a cryptographer
|
||||
and now I am a privacy specialist. I consciously use Free Software for 15
|
||||
years now. I discovered the FSFE randomly, I found the FSFE website and
|
||||
just loved this idea of counter-lobbying. I am a supporter of the FSFE
|
||||
for already 6 years now.
|
||||
I hope that more and more people will understand the importance of being ethical in their digital life and thus consciously use Free Software and that we will have more and more volunteers from all over Europe.
