My eleven months as trainee and part of the FSFE's international team,
|
|
have been full with new things to learn, great people to meet,
|
|
challenges to overcome and opportunities to grasp. There was never a
|
|
boring day. I was involved in high-level legal and policy work as well
|
|
as community building and awareness-raising activities. I was in the
|
|
core preparation team of short and long-term campaigns.

My internship at FSFE was great! The team was amazing and the work taught me a
|
|
lot about Free Software, it opened my eyes to a lot of things. I enjoyed every
|
|
second of my internship, I met different kinds of people and gained
|
|
friendships that I will treasure forever.<br />

With my internship at the Free Software Foundation Europe, I
|
|
was given the opportunity to work together with amazing and
|
|
highly motivated people. I could bring in my existing skills in
|
|
a meaningful way, as well as learn a whole lot of new technical
|
|
methods and ways to enthuse people. In my usual field of
|
|
statistics and data analysis, Free Software and Open Data
|
|
becomes increasingly important and is a key to privacy-friendly
|
|
and ethical Data Science, which is why I am so delighted to be
|
|
able to contribute to the work the FSFE is doing.

<h2>Who we're looking for:</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE interns are a pretty diverse bunch. If you are interested in
|
|
working on the frontline of technology policy and activism, then
|
|
you've come to the right place. You're fired up about a free
|
|
information society, and you've already done something to tell others
|
|
why freedom matters? Then this internship is for you. Your academic
|
|
background and qualifications matter less than your experience, your
|
|
will to learn, and your ability to get things done. We expect:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Solid basic knowledge of, and considerable interest in, Free
|
|
Software (required)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fluent English (written and spoken) is a requirement;
|
|
a working knowledge of other languages is an asset.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Basic acquaintance with working on GNU/Linux systems (desirable)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Ability to be creative, responsible, and to multitask.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Ability to integrate into a young, motivated and professional team
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
No programming skills required. Programming is one of the
|
|
few things you probably <i>won't</i> be doing during your
|
|
internship, unless you're applying for a technical
|
|
internship.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>We want more women to be involved in Free Software. That's
|
|
why when there are candidates with equal qualification, we will give
|
|
preference to applications from suitably qualified female candidates.</li>
|
|
</ul>

I am passionate about Free Software and I always wanted to help with
|
|
its promotion. That's why an offer to help the FSFE was a perfect fit
|
|
for me. During my internship, I worked mostly on developing the FSFE's
|
|
infrastructure and helped by adding documentation for specific tasks
|
|
involving different services. Interns at FSFE are really useful, as
|
|
they bring their experience and knowledge to the FSFE and, given the
|
|
structure and openness of the organisation, are able to do meaningful
|
|
work that has a real value.
