<h1>Freedom Food: FSFE to cook for its donors</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>For this year's round of fund-raising, the Free Software
|
|
Foundation Europe (FSFE) has cooked up something special. The biggest donor
|
|
of 2009 will share a cooking session with FSFE's President and other
|
|
members of the organisation's executive team. FSFE is looking to raise
|
|
100,000 Euro during the last quarter of 2009.</p>

<p>Free Software and cooking are both about creativity, skill and enjoying
|
|
yourself. "Recipes can be used for any purpose, including sharing them with
|
|
others, and making your own improvements. In these respects cooking is just
|
|
like Free Software - you have the freedom to use, study, share and improve"
|
|
says FSFE's President Karsten Gerloff.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>FSFE has been working for the Free Software community in Europe and beyond
|
|
since 2001. Thanks to its supporters, the organisation has been able to
|
|
break <a href="/activities/ms-vs-eu/ms-vs-eu.html">proprietary monopolies</a>
|
|
, defend European developers and users against <a
|
|
href="/activities/swpat/swpat.html">software patents</a>, and build the
|
|
<a href="/activities/ftf">Freedom Task Force</a> into Europe's foremost
|
|
expert group on legal aspects of Free Software.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many threats continue to face Free Software however - and FSFE continues to
|
|
fight against them. Computer users in Europe are forced to use proprietary
|
|
software on a daily basis. Closed standards build walls that restrict Free
|
|
Software and its users. Interoperability in the European public sector is
|
|
under attack, as proprietary software companies continue to push their
|
|
agendas in Europe and around the world.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These are just a few of the issues that donors are entitled to discuss with
|
|
senior FSFE staff. "A lot of us at FSFE are passionate hobby chefs. We are
|
|
looking forward to sharing a creative time with supporters of Free
|
|
Software," says Gerloff.</p>
