<h1>Google helps FSFE's Freedom Task Force to deliver training, attend conferences and translate documents</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>Google has made a donation to assist FSFE's Freedom Task Force with
|
||
delivering training courses, attending conferences and localising
|
||
documents.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>"The Freedom Task Force is working to foster effective legal
|
||
infrastructure for Free Software in Europe. A great deal of our work is
|
||
based on engaging directly with people and Google's contribution will
|
||
allow us to do this more effectively," says Shane Coughlan, FTF
|
||
Coordinator. "Training, physical presence in countries and providing
|
||
materials in local languages are essential aspects of building a
|
||
coherent pan-European community."</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>"Free Software Foundation Europe has been working to promote and protect
|
||
Free Software in Europe for many years and the Freedom Task Force is a
|
||
good example of their long-term approach to supporting the community,"
|
||
says Jeremy Allison, Member of the Technical Staff - Software Engineer,
|
||
Google. "I believe that they are doing useful work and I'm proud to see
|
||
Google supporting their activities."</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>FSFE's Freedom Task Force helps individuals, projects and businesses
|
||
understand Free Software licensing and the opportunities that it
|
||
presents. The activities of the FTF includes providing training
|
||
courses, consultancy and operating a European Legal and Technical
|
||
Network. It fosters best practice throughout the European Free Software
|
||
community.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The FTF is operated on a non-profit basis under the auspices of Free
|
||
Software Foundation Europe.</p>

<p>About the Free Software Foundation Europe:</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="aboutfsfe">The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is a non-profit
|
||
non-governmental organisation active in many European countries and
|
||
involved in many global activities. Access to software determines
|
||
participation in a digital society. To secure equal participation in
|
||
the information age, as well as freedom of competition, the Free
|
||
Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) pursues and is dedicated to the
|
||
furthering of Free Software, defined by the freedoms to use, study,
|
||
modify and copy. Founded in 2001, creating awareness for these issues,
|
||
securing Free Software politically and legally, and giving people
|
||
Freedom by supporting development of Free Software are central issues
|
||
of the FSFE.</p>
