Richard Stallman's TEDx video: "Introduction to Free Software and the Liberation of Cyberspace"

 

From July 31st

 

Are you in search of an easy way to explain to others what free software is and why it matters? Or are you perhaps wondering why you yourself should be concerned about computer-user freedom? If your answer is yes, then this TEDx talk by RMS is what you're looking for!

GNU hackers discover HACIENDA government surveillance and give us a way to fight back

 

From August 20th

 

GNU community members and collaborators have discovered threatening details about a five-country government surveillance program codenamed HACIENDA. The good news? Those same hackers have already worked out a free software countermeasure to thwart the program.

Press release:

US cell phone unlocking law: a temporary fix to only part of the problem

 

From August 21st

 

Every three years, the Library of Congress is charged with carving out exemptions from the DMCA's (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) anti-circumvention provisions. While the current law allows users to have someone unlock their phone for them, it does not permit so-called "bulk unlocking," where someone buys multiple phones and unlocks them for resale. And it doesn't address the root issue, which is that users must be able to fully modify all the software on any of their phones or computers.

Watch: "JavaScript: If you love it, set it free"

 

From August 27th

 

FSF executive director John Sullivan spoke at this year's FOSDEM, a volunteer-organized conference held in Belgium that highlights the development of free software.

Replace your proprietary BIOS with Libreboot

 

From August 4th

 

With the launch of the Libreboot project, users now have an easy-to-install, 100% free software replacement for proprietary BIOS/boot programs.

FSF at CommonBound conference on economic equality

 

From July 31st

 

FSF campaigns manager Zak Rogoff reports on his attendence at CommonBound, a Boston conference for those working towards a more equitable and sustainable economy.

Introducing Micah, summer intern for the Licensing Team

 

From August 5th

 

Micah-Shalom Kesselman recently started working at the FSF as one of this summer's licensing interns. In this post, he writes about his interest in free software and what his goals are for his internship.

 

Free Software on the final frontier: GNU Radio controls the ISEE-3 Spacecraft

 

From August 8th

 

Equipped with free GNU Radio software, a group of citizen scientists has contacted, controlled, and is attempting to recapture a 1970s-era satellite and bring it back into an orbit close to Earth.

Recap of Friday Free Software Directory IRC meetup: August 1

 

From August 1st

GNU MediaGoblin 0.7.0: Time Traveler’s Delight

 

By Chris Webber, from August 26th

 

The GNU MediaGoblin project has released version 0.7.0 of their media management software. The release features preliminary federation and a new theme.

Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory

 

From August 29th

 

Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth of useful information, from basic category and descriptions to version control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The Free Software Directory has been a great resource to software users over the past decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with new and exciting free software projects.

 

To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take place in the #fsf channel on irc.gnu.org, and usually include a handful of regulars as well as newcomers. Everyone's welcome.

 

The next meeting is Friday, September 5 from 2pm to 5pm EDT (18:00 to 21:00 UTC).

 

Details here:

After this meeting, you can check https://www.fsf.org/events to see the rest of September's weekly meetings as they are scheduled.

 

LibrePlanet featured resource: Laptops comparison

 

Every month on LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is interesting and useful -- often one that could use your help.

 

For this month, we are highlighting our Laptops Comparison page, which provides information about free softare support on laptops. You are invited to adopt, spread and improve this important resource. Try adding your laptop or importing the current information into h-node.

Do you have a suggestion for next month's featured resource? Let us know at campaigns@fsf.org.

 

GNU Spotlight with Karl Berry: 26 new GNU releases!

GNU hackers discover HACIENDA government surveillance and give us a way to fight back

Dear Pascal,

 

GNU community members and collaborators have discovered threatening details about a five-country government surveillance program codenamed HACIENDA. The good news? Those same hackers have already worked out a free software countermeasure to thwart the program.

 

According to Heise newspaper, the intelligence agencies of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, have used HACIENDA to map every server in twenty-seven countries, employing a technique known as port scanning. The agencies have shared this map and use it to plan intrusions into the servers. Disturbingly, the HACIENDA system actually hijacks civilian computers to do some of its dirty work, allowing it to leach computing resources and cover its tracks.

 

But this was not enough to stop the team of GNU hackers and their collaborators. After making key discoveries about the details of HACIENDA, Julian Kirsch, Christian Grothoff, Jacob Appelbaum, and Holger Kenn designed the TCP Stealth system to protect unadvertised servers from port scanning. They revealed their work at the recent annual GNU Hackers' Meeting in Germany.

 

 

We must fight the political battle for an end to mass surveillance and reduce the amount of data collected about people in the first place. On an individual level we have to do everything we can to thwart the surveillance programs that are already in place.

 

No matter your skill level, you can get involved at the FSF's surveillance page.

 

Ethical developers inside and outside GNU have been working for years on free software that does not keep secrets from users, and programs that anyone can review to remove potential vulnerabilities. These capabilities give free software users a fighting chance against surveillance. Now, our community is turning its attention to uncovering and undermining insidious programs like HACIENDA. Free software and its ideals are crucial to putting an end to government bulk surveillance.

 

Share this news with your friends, to help make people aware of the importance of free software in fighting bulk surveillance.

 

Jacob Appelbaum of the TCP Stealth team gave a remote keynote address at the FSF's LibrePlanet conference this year. Watch the recording of "Free Software for freedom: Surveillance and you."

Richard Stallman's TEDx video: "Introduction to free software and the liberation of cyberspace"

Dear Pascal,

Are you in search of an easy way to explain to others what free software is and why it matters? Or are you perhaps wondering why you yourself should be concerned about computer-user freedom? If your answer is yes, then this TEDx talk by FSF president Richard Stallman (RMS) is what you're looking for!

RMS was invited to give a TEDx talk at "FREEDOM (@ digital age)" in April and took the opportunity to explain the fundamentals of the free software movement to the general public. In this speech, RMS introduces the issue and makes the stakes clear; he explains what a computer is and who controls it, what the various implications of free software and of proprietary software are for you, the user, what you can do to stop being a victim, what the obstacles to computer-user freedom are, and how you can make a difference.

The TEDx talks are "designed to help communities, organizations, and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences." At these events, screenings of videos, like this one, "or a combination of live presenters and TED Talks videos — sparks deep conversation and connections at the local level."

We hope you share the recording, to help raise awareness and inspire conversations and connections in your own circles, and introduce a friend, loved one, or acquaintance, to this "first step in the liberation of cyberspace."

If you watch any TEDx talks on YouTube, please remember to use a free program like youtube-dl instead of your browser, because watching YouTube in your browser requires proprietary JavaScript.

Many thanks to Théo Bondolfi, François Epars, Florence Dambricourt, and the TEDxGeneva core-team for making this speech possible. Thank you to Ynternet.org and HEG-GE for hosting and supporting the event, and to Sylvain & Co., La Belle Bleue, and Jus de Fruits Suisses, ProLibre, and the Fondation Emilie Gourd, Piguet Galland & Cie., Lifelong Learning Programme, Hes.so Genève, My Big Geneva, and Smala for their support.

Sincerely,

Jeanne Rasata
Assistant to the President

P.S. RMS does not draw a salary from the FSF, but your donations do support the coordination of events and videos like this. We'd love to produce more introductory videos. Can you donate $25 today?

La FSF félicite le gouvernement du Royaume-Uni pour son choix du format Open Document

Le 29 juillet

Si vous vivez au Royaume-Uni, vous serez bientôt en mesure de remplir la paperasse administrative sans renoncer à vos libertés. Le gouvernement britannique a annoncé la semaine dernière qu'Open Document (ODF), HTML et PDF deviendront les formats des documents officiels utilisés par toutes les agences gouvernementales.

Entretien avec Tox.im

Le 21 juillet

Dans le dernier épisode de notre série Licensing and Compliance Lab sur les développeurs de logiciels libres qui choisissent les licences GNU pour leurs travaux, nous avons mené un entretien par courrier électronique avec David Lohle du project Tox, une plateforme et un protocole de communication tout-en-un qui assurent à leurs utilisateurs une totale confidentialité et une transmission sécurisée des messages.

Présentation de Tyler Livingston, un stagiaire de l'équipe des Licences cet été

Le 21 juillet

Tyler Livingstion est l'un des stagiaires d'été de l'équipe des Licences. Dans cet article, il nous parle de l'importance du logiciel libre et de ses centres d'intérêts personnels.

Dites à la FCC: la neutralité du Net est vitale pour le logiciel libre

Le 14 juillet

La neutralité du Net, ce principe selon lequel tous les types de trafic sur Internet doivent être traités sur un pied d'égalité, est vitale pour que la croissance et le succès du logiciel libre se poursuivent. La FCC (Commission fédérale des communications) a demandé aux membres du public, ainsi qu'aux dirigeants et entrepreneurs de l'industrie des télécom, de lui dire pourquoi toute discrimination de trafic réseau opérée par les fournisseurs d'accès et de services doit être bannie.

Colloque sur le logiciel libre à Seattle cet automne : l'appel à participation est maintenant ouvert

Le 1er juillet

Le Colloque GNU/Linux de Seattle (SeaGL), consacré au logiciel libre, aura lieu les 24 et 25 octobre. Les organisateurs viennent d'annoncer que Karen Sandler, directrice exécutive du Software Freedom Conservancy (litt. Conservatoire de la liberté du logiciel), fera une conférence plénière, et ont lancé un appel à participation.

Bienvenue à Jessica Tallon, la deuxième employée à temps plein de GNU MediaGoblin

Par Deb Nicholson et Chris Webber, le 28 juillet

Jessica Tallon, qui avait initialement rejoint GNU MediaGoblin l'an dernier en tant que membre du Programme de sensibilisation pour les femmes, a récemment travaillé sur la gestion de la « fédération » (des canaux de communication) par le projet.

La Commission européenne fausse le jeu du marché en refusant de se libérer de l'enfermement propriétaire

Par la FSF Europe, le 8 juillet

La Commission européenne a récemment renouvelé son engagement avec un environnement de travail privateur et des formats de fichiers secrets. La Commission refuse de penser sérieusement à se libérer de l'enfermement imposé par les distributeurs et ignore toutes les alternatives disponibles. Ce faisant, le service public de l'Union Européenne échoue à mettre en œuvre ce qu'il prêche.

Rejoignez la FSF et ses amis pour mettre à jour le Répertoire du logiciel libre (Free Software Directory)

Des dizaines de milliers de personnes visitent chaque mois directory.fsf.org pour y découvrir des logiciels libres. Chaque rubrique du répertoire contient une multitude d'informations pratiques, depuis les descriptions et la catégorisation de base jusqu'aux systèmes de contrôle de version, canaux IRC, documentation et licence. Le Répertoire du logiciel libre est une superbe ressource pour les utilisateurs de logiciels depuis une dizaine d'années, mais il a besoin de votre aide pour rester à jour avec les nouveaux et passionnants projets libres.

Pour donner un coup de main, rejoignez nos rendez-vous IRC hebdomadaires du vendredi. Cela se passe sur le canal #fsf de irc.gnu.org, et on y rencontre généralement une poignée d'habitués ainsi que des nouveaux. Chacun y est le bienvenu.

Le prochain rendez-vous aura lieu le vendredi 1er août de 14h à 17h EST (19h à 22h UTC). Pour les détails voir :

Vous trouverez les rendez-vous hebdomadaires suivants d'août sur https://www.fsf.org/events.

Ressource phare de LibrePlanet : la boîte à outils communautaire

Chaque mois sur LibrePlanet, nous illustrons une ressource intéressante et pratique, souvent une ressource qui pourrait avoir besoin d'un coup de main.

Ce mois-ci, nous mettons en lumière notre boîte à outils communautaire, qui réunit des informations à propos des logiciels pouvant être utilisés par les organisations à but non lucratif, les groupes communautaires et les particuliers pour faire avancer la cause du logiciel libre. Vous êtes invités à adopter, diffuser et améliorer cette importante ressource.

Avez-vous une suggestion pour la ressource phare du mois prochain ? Faites-le nous savoir à campaigns@fsf.org

Coup de projecteur sur GNU avec Karl Berry : 18 nouvelles parutions !

Looking ahead to the next International Day Against DRM - May 6, 2015

Dear Pascal,

On May 6th, 2015, the global anti-DRM community will hold our biggest display of unity so far - the 9th annual International Day Against DRM.

This year's International Day Against DRM featured a variety of events in Brazil, Bangladesh, Portugal, and the United States, and we're planning for 2015's Day to be even bigger.

Digital Restrictions Management gives others unethical control over the digital media that is so important to our culture. People and organizations will deliver this message in different ways on the Day, from picketing in front of stores that sell DRM-encumbered products, to sharing articles and graphics, to offering sales on DRM-free media.

Want to be part of this next year? Join the International Day Against DRM 2015 mailing list. We recommend you share your location with us (optional) to get alerts about local events.

Are you interested in running an in-person or online event on May 6th, 2015? If so, let us know in a reply and we'll share resources with you when the planning process gets underway. No commitment at all.

Campaigns Manager

Volunteers translate Email Self-Defense guide into Spanish, Romanian, and more

Email Self-Defense

Dear Pascal,

When the FSF launched our guide to personal email encryption last month, it was enthusiastically received by English-speakers looking for an easy way to get started fighting bulk surveillance. Our community then came together to translate it and bring it to speakers of six more languages. Today we're launching the second round of translations: Spanish, Romanian, Italian, and Greek.

This guide started as an effort of the FSF and some skilled graphic and Web designers, but it's become a worldwide effort by free software activists translating in more than ten countries. This kind of teamwork is what our movement is all about, and the FSF is thrilled to facilitate it.

The Free Software Foundation provides the infrastructure and professional management for our community of translators, and rigorously researches and refines the material in Email Self-Defense. We also maintain Edward, the multilingual encryption reply bot program. We've spent a lot of time and energy on this guide so far, and we want to spend more, but we need resources.

Can you donate to help us recoup some of the cost we've put into creating this guide and fostering a community around it?

Your donation will also enable us to make technical infrastructure improvements to EmailSelfDefense.fsf.org to make it easy to translate into more languages, and hopefully let us add a set of instructions for using encryption on mobile devices.

Our goal is to make email encryption approachable for people speaking any language and using any device, while also using the guide to deliver a clear message about the importance of free software.

If you'd like to create a version for a language that we haven't published yet, or help maintain one of the existing translations, please send an email to campaigns@fsf.org telling us about your experiences with translating.

We're also looking for people to join the GNU.org translation team and create translated versions of Richard Stallman's article "How Much Surveillance Can Democracy Withstand?" The article makes the point that, to fight bulk surveillance, we need to reduce the amount of data that is collected about our lives in general (both by government and private entities).

Thank you for being such a supportive community, and coming forward to help us with this project. We're happy to be making it easier for you to protect your privacy and put up a defense against surveillance.

Please email us at donate@fsf.org if you'd like to donate in Euros.

Campaigns Manager
