<h2>About the FSFE</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control
|
|
technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives and it
|
|
is important that technology empowers rather than restricts us. Free
|
|
Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share
|
|
software. These rights help support other fundamental freedoms like freedom
|
|
of speech, press, and privacy.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free Software
|
|
contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination. It enhances
|
|
users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software adoption, encourages
|
|
people to use and develop Free Software, and provides resources to enable
|
|
everyone to further promote Free Software in Europe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are involved in <a href="/activities/">many activities</a> in the legal,
|
|
economic, political and technical areas around Free Software. Our work is
|
|
made possible by a community of volunteers, supporters, donors, and staff.
|
|
The office assistant's job will be to be the administrative backbone of our
|
|
operations.
