<h1>Internships at the Free Software Foundation Europe</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is looking for interns to
|
|
join our team, specifically in the FSFE office in Switzerland. The
|
|
internships take between 4 and 12 months and FSFE is accepting applications
|
|
at all times without a specific deadline.</strong>
|

</p>
|
|
|

<strong>FSFE operates in a lively environment of numerous volunteers from
|

Before starting with the details, a few words from former FSFE interns:

</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
FSFE is involved in the most important processes on how Information Society
|
|
is being shaped, be it on a national, European, or on a global level. It's
|
|
exciting to be part of these activities. (Alexander Finkenberger)
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
If you've followed my <a
|
|
href="http://www.fsfe.org/en/fellows/gerloff/blog">blog</a>, you will have an
|
|
idea of what I did with my time. The FSFE is a great place to work, and I've
|
|
enjoyed almost every single day. In few other companies or organisations
|
|
would I have had the chance to do useful work and learn in an international
|
|
context like I did here. Take this chance, if you can. (Karsten
|
|
Gerloff)
