Hey all,
irregardless of the split in our community between privacy pragmatists
and privacy absolutists, I think we should take note of this step
Mozilla has taken, as I believe FSFE still has a Facebook page (last
active on September 21st as far as I can ascertain).
> Dear global community we’ve had the opportunity to interact with over the past several years here:
>
> We’re taking a break from Facebook.
>
> At Mozilla we champion platforms and technologies that are good for the web and good for the people that use it.
> We stand up for transparency and user control because they make the web healthier for us all.
>
> That’s why we are pressing pause on any Facebook activity. Mark Zuckerberg has just promised to improve Facebook’s settings and make them more protective, which is a start! Please do that! But we can’t help but think we’ve heard it before, so we’re still going to wait and see what materializes before we resume spending our ad dollars or time here.
>
> IN THE MEANTIME:
> If you need support for Firefox or want to tweet at us, you can find us here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/
> and https://twitter.com/mozilla

What do you guys think?

Hi all,
the Chaos Communication Congress has become an important event in the last
years to spread FSFE's mission and message. Over the years, we have created
our own cluster called about:freedom [1] with many other civil society
organisations and organised our own lecture series.
This year - surprise - the congress will take place online. Or, better said,
online and physically decentralized: a global stream can be followed online,
but there will also be satellite events in several major cities. Together with
the Open Infrastructure Orbit, about:freedom will curate a "common" stage
(without an audience!) in Berlin, Munich and Monheim. Speakers will be able to
give their presentation live or pre-record it and just be online only for Q&A.
For the FSFE I would like to see many topics about Free Software and its big
picture being submitted and selected. You can find the Call for Participation
here and you are welcome to distribute it:
https://oio.social/de/2020/10/30/cfp-oio-about-freedomrc3.html
Deadline is Monday the 23.11.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Erik
