<h1>Report: FSFE Booth and Activity at Chaos Communication Camp 2023</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Chaos Communication Camp 2023 brought together technologists,
|
|
activists, and enthusiasts to discuss, share, and celebrate software
|
|
freedom, privacy, and various aspects of technology. The FSFE
|
|
participated in the event, being part of the 'Bits und Bäume' village.
|
|
The village offered a platform for engaging discussions, workshops, and
|
|
activities.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Activities and Engagements</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The FSFE booth was only one of the options to find the Free Software
|
|
Foundation Europe at the event. Tobias Diekershoff and Bonnie Mehring,
|
|
who represented the FSFE at the event, also gave several sessions about
|
|
their work for software freedom and the various activities at the FSFE.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Talks</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first talk, given by Bonnie Mehring, focused on the activities around
|
|
the <a href="/activities/ilovefs">I Love Free Software Day</a>. Even
|
|
though the I Love Free Software Day has been running for over a decade
|
|
now, this was the first talk about its history, the importance of the
|
|
day, past activities, and upcoming ones. Its title "Sharing the Power of
|
|
Appreciation: I Love Free Software Day" says it all. The talk highlighted the
|
|
significance of the annual "I Love Free Software Day" and its impact on
|
|
raising awareness and gratitude for Free Software contributors.

The second talk was hosted at the Jugend Hackt stage and focused on the <a href="/activities/yh4f">
|
|
Youth Hacking 4 Freedom</a> coding contest for young Europeans. This
|
|
presentation showcased the importance of involving young minds in Free
|
|
Software, encouraging them to be part of the movement, and helping them
|
|
meet like-minded people and create friendships throughout the contest.
|
|
Currently, the second round of the contest is <a

|
|
third one will be announced by the end of the year. To stay tuned,

<h3>Workshop</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A workshop on the <a href="https://reuse.software/">REUSE tool</a> was conducted at the Bits und Bäume
|
|
workshop tent by Tobias Diekershoff. This interactive session educated
|
|
attendees about the benefits of using the REUSE tool for managing and
|
|
sharing Free Software projects, emphasizing the importance of proper
|
|
licensing and documentation.
|
|

|
<h3>Book Reading</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A captivating book reading session featuring the children's book <a
|
|
href="/activities/ada-zangemann/">"Ada and Zangemann"</a> was also held
|
|
by Bonnie Mehring at the Family village.
|
|
This heartwarming story introduced young readers to the world of
|
|
technology, tinkering, and software freedom through the adventures of
|
|
Ada, a young hacker who learns about controlling and understanding
|
|
technology.

<h3>Free Software Singalong</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
And as it has become quite a tradition, the FSFE organised the Free
|
|
Software singalong, 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. Attendees enjoyed singing along while connecting with
|
|
like-minded individuals.
