Subject: Public Code: All these success stories are possible thanks to your
support
To: DIEGO MANIACCO <diego.maniacco@xxxxxxxxx>
Hello DIEGO MANIACCO,
For almost three years the FSFE has been working on the "Public Money?
Public
Code!"; an initiative [1] that requires that publicly financed software
developed for the public sector should be made publicly available under
Free
Software licenses. Thanks to your support we have managed to get almost 200
organisations and administrations as well as more than 30.000 individuals
to
sign our call. This demand is based on the four freedoms that Free Software
offers: the freedom to use the software for any purpose, to study the
software
code without restrictions, to improve the software, and to share it along
with
any of its improvements.
Thanks to the joint work of our team and all those who have supported us we
have been able to achieve a lot in these three years, that is why today we
want
to share with you some of our recent success stories.
Recently the city of Dortmund in Germany has committed itself to Free
Software
by passing unanimously the motion of using Free Software whenever possible
and
to make the software paid by public money, available for everybody [2].
This is
another example of an administration following the principle of "Public
Money?
Public Code!" - If it is public money then it should be public code.
Furthermore, a story of success not only for the citizens, public
administrations but also for the economy is the case of the Canton of Uri
and
Bern in Switzerland. The Canton of Uri has used successfully Free Software
for
several years to manage the administration of applications related to
construction plans and it is pursuing to convince other Cantons to do the
same
by showing them all the benefits that Free Software offers. The Canton of
Bern
is a successful example of that. [3]
Lastly, we are happy to announce that our PMPC video is now also translated
to
Swedish [4]. With this translation our video is now available in nine
languages;
English, Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian. Spanish, German and
now
Swedish.
As said before, all these achievements have only been possible thanks to
the
support of our community. Therefore we want to thank you for supporting our
initiative. We would really appreciate if you can continue to let others
know
about our campaign by sharing it with your friends and community. All these
success stories can serve as a reference of all the benefits that we can
achieve
with Free Software.
Thank you again for all the support and we are looking forward to coming
back
to you soon with some more new success stories.
Best,
Alexander Sander
