-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Finnish team report 2011-05-28 - 2011-10-15 Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2011 16:04:12 +0300 From: Otto Kekäläinen <otto(a)fsfe.org> Reply-To: team(a)fsfeurope.org To: team-reports(a)fsfeurope.org CC: finland(a)fsfeurope.org - FSFE-meeting in Helsinki 2011-06-01: two attendees, me and Timo Lindfors, who afterwards sent me e-mail asking how to get SVN access in order to help Timo with translations. Further FSFE-meetings in Helsinki area need better organizing to attract more people. - I replied as private person to a request for comments about a public sector standards collection at http://www.jhs-suositukset.fi/web/guest/jhs, promoted HTML/CSS/ECMAScript so that browser based apps would be cross-platform and not Flash/AIR/Silverlight or similar proprietary stuff. - the new government's strategy program mentions open data, open standards and open source: http://www.valtioneuvosto.fi/tiedostot/julkinen/hallitusneuvottelut-2011/ne…, page 50: avoin tieto: "Julkisin varoin tuotettuja tietovarantoja avataan kansalaisten ja yritysten käyttöön. Tavoitteena on julkisen sektorin hallinnoimien digitaalisten tietoaineistojen saattaminen helposti uudelleenkäytettävässä muodossa tietoverkkojen kautta kansalaisten, yritysten ja yhteisöjen, viranomaisten, tutkimuksen ja koulutuksen hyödynnettäväksi." keskitetty valtion it-ohjaus: "Julkisten sähköisten palvelujen kehittäminen annetaan yhden vahvat valtuudet omaavan tahon johdettavaksi. Asetetaan selkeitä tavoitteita tuottavuuden parantamiseksi. Varmistetaan julkisten tietojärjestelmien yhteentoimivuus käyttämällä avoimia rajapintoja ja standardeja. Avoimeen lähdekoodiin perustuvien ratkaisujen käyttöönottoa edistetään julkisen hallinnon kokonaisarkkitehtuurin puitteissa ja kustannushyötyanalyysin pohjalta." Via google translate and some manual fixing of the gravest errors => open data: "publicly funded data resources will be opened for citizens and enterprises. The aim is to make public sector digital data available in a reusable for online for citizens, businesses and communities, authorities, research and education for use." centralized public sector IT management "Public e-services development will be delegated to one strong entity to run. Set clear goals to improve productivity. Ensure public information systems interoperability using open interfaces and standards. Promote open source-based solutions and within the public administration enterprise architecture framework and based on cost-benefit analysis." - FOSS and LIbreOffice initiatives ongoing in Helsinki, Tampere, Turku an Paimio city councils. I helped write the initiative in Tampere with a local city council member. All of the initiatives are btw made by Green politicans, I'll try to activate other parties too. - Visited FSFE Berlin office in August during the Desktop Summit, wrote strategy about increasing support and income (The Funnel -paper), helped implement it by coding some minor stuff, like parts of the mailing list stats script. - Attended the OpenMind conference in Tampere on 2011-09-28, talked with a guy from Alt Linux Team (Russia) about co-operation with FSFE and changed business cards. - I attended every second month the COSS board meeting as FSFE representative - I attended a meeting on 2011-10-13 for a new business initiative for FOSS in the Tampere area called VALOMO (site in Finnish: http://www.valomo.fi/). The group is very well connected and includes the former Tampere city chief IT officer. - I helped several Finnish FOSS-projects with press releases, like http://linux.fi/wiki/Lehdist%C3%B6tiedote_2011, http://www.l-a.fi/Lehdist%C3%B6tiedote_elokuu_2011 (sorry, in Finnish too) There are many things brewing, but more about them later...

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: DFD 20120 - It starts Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:49:23 +0200 From: Matthias Kirschner <mk(a)fsfe.org> To: team-reports(a)fsfeurope.org, germany(a)fsfeurope.org As Nanda is not able to do the coordination of Document Freedom Day for 2012, I agreed, that I will take care of it. Karsten will take care of some other tasks on my list so I am able to do this. Alessandro already started to prepare a report from last year, so we have an overview about what happened. We will contact the coordinators of the previous years, who plans to participate and which topics they see at the moment. The coordination will take place on df-coordinators(a)fsfeurope.org for the moment. If you are interested to help with DFD brainstorming, campaign planing, taking care of coordinating events in a certain country, taking care of the communication with certain partners, etc. please let me and Alessandro know.

[Sweden] Fwd: Ask Your Candidates - Berlin / Zürich

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Ask Your Candidates - Berlin / Zürich Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:17:24 +0200 From: Matthias Kirschner <mk(a)fsfe.org> To: team-reports(a)fsfeurope.org, germany(a)fsfeurope.org Our "Ask Your Candidates Campaign" <https://fsfe.org/campaigns/askyourcandidates/> is running well. After we covered the elections in Bremen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Baden Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz (all Germany), Vienna (Austria) in 2011, and the Federal election in Germany 2009, we now covered the elections in Berlin and Switzerland. I received very good feedback for the campaign until now. A lot of Free Software developers, users, and companies like this campaign. As it is not that much work, after we now have a framework, we should continue to invest in it. The goal of our ongoing activity "Ask Your Candidates" (AYC) is challenging local, regional, and national politicians on their position on Free Software is a very important ongoing activity. Particularly in the run-up to elections, engaging candidates and parties in software related questions can have a big impact. - PR Berlin Election (done by the German team, special thanks to Olaf Buddenhagen): https://fsfe.org/news/2011/news-20110913-01.de.html. Coverage: - Prolinux: http://www.pro-linux.de/news/1/17493/fsf-europe-vergleicht-parteipositionen… - Heise: http://www.heise.de/open/meldung/Berlin-Parteien-kennen-sich-mit-freier-Sof… - My blog http://blogs.fsfe.org/mk/?p=815 and on Netzpolitik https://netzpolitik.org/2011/berlin-hauptstadt-der-freien-software-parteien/ - PR Swiss Election (done by the Zürich Fellowship Group, special thanks to Marcus Möller): https://fsfe.org/news/2011/news-20110919.de.html. Coverage: - Linux Magazin http://www.linux-magazin.de/content/view/full/62443 - Prolinux: http://www.pro-linux.de/news/1/17509/schweizer-politiker-zu-freier-software… - My blog http://blogs.fsfe.org/mk/?p=818 also on Netzpolitik https://netzpolitik.org/2011/freie-software-in-den-schweizer-national-und-s… For reference, here the questions in English which Sam and I worked on: - 1.a. Do you plan to promote the use of Free Software? If so, how will you do this? - 1.b. Do you plan to promote the interests of small and medium sized Free Software companies; and so, how? - 2. Non-Free Software is only modifiable with the permission of its owner. This restriction had led to service monopolies and vendor lock-in in both the public and private sector. Do you plan to act against existing service monopolies of this nature? - 3.a. Strict adherence to Open Standards in public sector ICT enables fairer competition amongst tenderers. Do you agree with the Free Software Foundation Europe's Definition of Open Standards (http://fsfe.org/projects/os/def.en.html)? - 3.b. Will you work to achieve strict adherence to Open Standards in the public sector? If so, how do you plan to do this? - 4.a. Is your party planing to promote the usage of Free Software in state education? - 4.b. Does your party intend to promote the teaching of transferable ICT skills, rather than product or vendor specific knowledge? - 5. Many public sector organisations advertise non-Free Software on their websites, such as promotions for 'Adobe Reader'. What is your opinion on this kind of advertising, and do you have any plans concerning it? - 6.a. In Germany software is covered by copyright law and, like literature, is therefore unpatentable. Nevertheless, patents on software continue to be granted by patent offices. The technology monopolies that these patents result in lead to legal uncertainty for software companies and hamper innovation in all European companies. What is your position on software patents? - 6.b How will you prevent them from threatening the growth of Germany's economy? -- Matthias Kirschner - FSFE - Fellowship Coordinator, German Coordinator FSFE, Linienstr. 141, 10115 Berlin, t +49-30-27595290 +49-1577-1780003 Free Software is important to you?
