|
||
After some changes to the FSFE's internship program in early
|
||
September, we're happy to be able to announce an opening for a
|
||
<a href="/news/2016/news-20160930-01.html">technical intern</a>
|
||
with the FSFE. We're seeking an intern who can work with us for three months
|
||
in our Berlin office, learning about Free Software and the FSFE, while at
|
||
the same time contributing to rewriting parts of our technical infrastructure.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In the coming months, we'll announce more internship opportunities and a
|
||
good way to get to know about them is to read this newsletter regularly.
|
||
Be sure to check out our section on taking action below for some news about
|
||
our merchandise sale and information material (we'd love to send you more,
|
||
if you've run out!).

<h2 id="the-summit">The Summit</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>We're still not over how cool it was to see so many from our
|
||
community join the FSFE Summit in September. It was a good
|
||
experience and we're keen to repeat it. One of the highlights was
|
||
the ending keynote where Julia Reda called out <a href=
|
||
"/news/2016/news-20160907-01.html">proprietary
|
||
software as a threat to democracy</a>. Be sure to view the
|
||
keynote and some of the other talks from the Summit, either on
|
||
our <a href=
|
||
"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC68ldbHwL_-5qzETqOaAMWQ">YouTube
|
||
channel</a>, or from our <a href=
|
||

|
||
server</a> where you can get the available videos in webm
|
||
format.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We also celebrated the FSFE's 15th birthday in C-Base with a
|
||
ceremony where we honored many of our local heroes from around
|
||
Europe. C-Base has kindly provided a <a href=
|
||
"https://vimeo.com/181328339">recording of the ceremony</a> if
|
||
you're interested in hearing the story of some of our heroes, all
|
||
of whom you can find working in one of the FSFE's teams today.</p>

|
||
<h2 id="are-you-our-next-technical-intern">Are you our next
|
||
technical intern?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>As mentioned, we are looking for a technical intern to join
|
||
our team for three months, taking part in rewriting and
|
||
implementing a new account management system. This internship is
|
||
based in Berlin, starting the 1st of January 2017 or as otherwise
|
||
agreed. It's compensated with a basic salary, the details of
|
||
which you can read together with other information in our
|
||

<p>Polina Malaja, FSFE's policy analyst and legal

participated in a workshop on the interactions of Free

Software and standardisation, organised by the European

Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in

Sophia-Antipolis, France. During the workshop, they worked to

<li>We have recently collected, sorted and taken stock of some

leftovers of the merchandise we had in previous years, and
|
||
we've <a href="/order/">put these items
|
||
online</a>. For most of the older items, we only have a few
|

available, so this is your chance to order some vintage FSFE
|

merchandise at a reduced price (look out for the red

numbers!)</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>If you're starting to run out of informational material about
|

free software, now may also be a good opportunity to get some
|
||
more. Order some stickers, posters and flyers from our <a href=
|
||
"/contribute/spreadtheword">promotional material
|
||
page</a> and we'll get them to you as soon as possible so you can help us
|

spread them around your company, your school, the local

library, at events, or anywhere else where you feel people
|
||
should know about free software.</li>
