#Huawei's Davide Ricci announces more information about their #FreeSoftware strategy in Europe.

They start with a public #opensource policy, training, #REUSE compliance, and eventually automatic BOM generation. @fsfe, Array and #NOI assist them

So many podcasts on summer break already, but not the #SoftwareFreedomPodcast! Here's another interesting episode, this time about copyright enforcement with Miriam Ballhausen:

Sounds like a crazy spy technique: you can command a mobile phone with activated voice control via ultrasonic waves. The attack is known as #SurfingAttack. So better think twice before giving permissions to such services...

After 2 years of work in the @FOSS4SMEs project, we present recommendations to policy makers how to uptake the usage of #FreeSoftware in small and medium-sized enterprises. Great input by @cedricth! #FOSS4SMEs #FOSS

Good analysis by James Sanders about why #Huawei should make the code of their network equipment #FreeSoftware. Open code has a great potential for security, public trust, and innovation!

Yeah, I have been accepted as speaker for #BalCCon! Join this nice conference in Novi Sad, Serbia, and get to know its excellent #FreeSoftware and IT security community.

Bad news: the #CopyrightDirective has been adopted. BUT fortunately we achieved an exclusion for #FreeSoftware code hosting and sharing providers.

Next step: Let's get the upload filters as transparent and independent as possible!

I am looking for a reliable #PeerTube instance for the @fsfe. Enough space for our videos (reasonable daily or high overall limit) , HTTP import, no #nsfw content, servers and operator within the EU.

Can you help me? https://joinpeertube.org isn't really helpful in this regard...

#RadioLockdown is a threat for user freedom on smartphones, routers and many more devices. But by Monday, you can give your feedback to the #EUCommission.

It's important to show that we care about freedom! Participating is not hard, all info here: https://blog.mehl.mx/2019/protect-freedom-on-radio-devices-raise-your-voice-today/
