    <h1>Matthias Kirschner</h1>

    <p>Matthias Kirschner is President of FSFE. <a
    href="https://blogs.fsfe.org/mk/memories-about-some-old-free-software-floppies-and-cds/">In
    1999 he started using GNU/Linux</a> and realised that software is deeply
    involved in all aspects of our lives. Matthias is convinced that this
    technology has to empower society not restrict it. While studying Political
    and Administrative Science he joined FSFE in 2004.</p>

    <p>He helps other organisations, companies and governments to understand
    how they can benefit from Free Software -- which gives everybody the rights
    to use, understand, adapt and share software -- and how those rights help
    to support freedom of speech, freedom of press or privacy.</p>

    <p>Matthias loves playing with his children, and in his spare time assists
    in <a href="http://www.outdoorschule-sued.de">wilderness first aid
    seminars</a>, enjoys comics like XKCD and Transmetropolitan; 
    and Die Ärzte.</p>
