<h1>Call for Participation: FSFE Track About "Digital Education" During the Libre Software Meeting in Strasbourg, France</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p newsteaser="yes">From 7 to 12 July there will be the Libre
|
|
Software Meeting in Strasbourg, France. The conference also known as
|
|
RMLL is annualy rotating and currently the biggest Free Software
|
|
event in France. This year, the main topic is "Digital Education:
|
|
building captivity or new empowerment?". With <a href="https://rmll2018.info/conferences/RMLL2018/program/proposals/new">the FSFE track</a> we are
|
|
looking for inspiring insights about golden cages and liberation not
|
|
only in educational institutions but in our everyday lives.</p>

|
|
|
<p>The Free Software Foundation Europe is happy to align with
|
|
Hackstub, the Strasbourg hackerspace that is organising the <a href="https://2018.rmll.info/">Libre
|
|
Software Meeting 2018</a>, and to generate an own FSFE track. With the
|
|
main topic being "Digital Education: building captivity or new
|
|
empowerment?" we would like to concentrate on the golden cages that
|
|
surround us and that rope more and more people in every day. For us
|
|
at the FSFE, digital education is not just about college education.
|
|
It is also about the digital literacy we need to spread within the
|
|
digital society.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We have seen a lot of new forms of social exchange and
|
|
collaboration coming up in the past decade and are in a stage where
|
|
there is hardly any day passing at our work place, in our social
|
|
network or our daily environment that does not require the
|
|
interaction with software in any form. A lot of this software is
|
|
proprietary or interacts with other proprietary software. Every day,
|
|
new people teach themselves or are told how to use these proprietary
|
|
services - be it by order of their employer, by peer-pressure in
|
|
their networks or even enforcement by administrations. In some way or
|
|
the other, every day new people get their own "digital
|
|
education".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the FSFE's track we look for ways that do not rope us in but
|
|
empower us instead. Free Software solutions that give us the liberty
|
|
to keep sovereignty of our data, to collaborate on new technologies
|
|
and to help everyone to understand the technology behind. You know
|
|
about a good piece of software that other people can learn from or
|
|
use in their daily interactions? You have insights on administrative
|
|
or educative processes? You can explain contexts that lead to
|
|
dependencies or empowerment?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Then <a href="https://rmll2018.info/conferences/RMLL2018/program/proposals/new">apply for the FSFE track</a> in one of the four categories:
|
|
"Initiation", "Tech", "Society" or "Culture & Art". We are
|
|
looking for talks and workshops. You can find more detailed
|
|
information about the different topics on the <a
|
|
href="https://2018.rmll.info/">LSM2018 pages</a>. The deadline to
|
|
apply is 30 April.</p>
