Ein etwas unbeachteter Technologiestandard könnte Messenger-Apps wie Signal, WhatsApp oder Telegram überflüssig machen. Der SMS-Nachfolger RCS (Rich Communications Service) bietet zahlreiche Funktionen, die bisher spezialisierten Apps vorbehalten waren. RCS erweitert die klassische SMS um Funktionen wie Gruppen-Chats, Sprachnachrichten und den Austausch von Bildern und Dateien. Diese Features stehen bereits in der vorinstallierten Nachrichten App vieler […]

The FSFE launches 'Ada & Zangemann' movie in French as Open Educational Resource

The Free Software Foundation Europe is releasing the animated film ‘Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream’ in French as an Open Educational Resource. Originally a highly successful illustrated book, now available in 10 languages and counting, the story has been adapted into a film that can be freely used in schools.

Following the success of the illustrated book 'Ada & Zangemann - Un conte sur les logiciels, le skateboard et la glace à la framboise', the FSFE is now releasing the story as an animated movie in French, with the support of the French Ministry of Education.

The story, aimed at children aged 6 and above, is about the inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial technology is for her and others. It is a fascinating and motivating story for children, especially girls, to tinker with hardware and software and encouraging them to shape their own technology.

The movie is also available in English and German and will be released in Spanish and Danish soon. It is distributed under a Creative Commons license, so anyone will be able to download and share the movie, embed it on websites, use it in schools, display it at events, and integrate it with other educational material, making a difference to the quality of IT education that is so vital for young people in our digital society.

The book has been translated into 10 languages, primarily by volunteers worldwide, and Ada’s story has reached more than 20,000 children globally. It has been shared through readings, discussions, and workshops. The FSFE's Git repository provides access to the story in various languages, along with additional resources for educational purposes. For more details about the French edition, visit the dedicated website created by C&F Editions, its publisher.

Im Wahlprogramm der CDU/CSU wird digitale Souveränität nur ganz kurz am Rande erwähnt, in den Wahlprogrammen von SPD und FDP finden digitale Souveränität und Open Source gar keine Erwähnung. Die OSBA betont seit Jahren die Gefahr für die deutsche und europäische Wirtschaft und Verwaltung, die durch die Abhängigkeiten von einzelnen großen US-Unternehmen entsteht. Mit dem Amtsantritt von Donald Trump gerät die digitale Souveränität Deutschlands mehr denn je unter Druck.

The FSFE supports Dutch call to adopt social media platforms that respect public values

Last week six Dutch civic organisations launched the campaign ‘Make Socials Social Again’. They call upon public organisations to adopt social media platforms that respect public values and thus are the real ‘social’ platforms.

The campaign, ‘Make Socials Social Again’, expresses the need for social media based on public values like transparency, privacy and sustainability.

The FSFE joins this campaign to encourage a public debate on this. As stressed in the FediGov campaign by the Swiss FSFE local team. It is important that platforms used by public bodies enable independent and self-determined use of technology.

The possibilities of using open and transparent systems, Free Software and open standards to enable truly social media, contributing positively to the public debate are legion. Good examples of this are, the Mastodon pilots by the Dutch government and SURF and Universities of the Netherlands. This encourages flexibility, security, the possibilities to innovate, societal debate and our digital

A series of events are lined up in the following weeks to support interested parties in adopting alternative social media.

Join this Dutch campaign by using the hashtag #MakeSocialsSocialAgain and use the campaign images.
