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 everyone,
I wanted to point you to this open internship position at the FSFE:
https://fsfe.org/news/2017/news-20170811-01.en.html
As you know, when the FSFE was founded, we put together a document
describing our self conception. That was 16 years ago, and while I
believe it to still be relevant, we'll be looking at making a new
committment towards a revised organisational identity later this year.
As a part of this work, we're looking for an intern to support the
process for 3-6 months, working closely with me and others in the
FSFE on analysing how the different groups within and outside of the
FSFE perceive the organisation's identity, which will then work
towards understanding how aligned they are, and supporting a
renewed committment towards a self conception.
We've already started the work, and will be looking for someone who
could jump on board quite soon indeed, so don't wait to send this
to someone you think might be interested! Work description and other
application details on the page above.
Sincerely,
--

Hi all,
in 2018, we are happy to organize the FSFE's community meeting together with
the probably biggest community-organized Free Software meeting in France, the
Libre Software Meeting (LSM / RMLL) [1]. This community meeting will happen
from July 7 to 9 in Strasbourg, France.
The community meeting is planned to be a mix of joining the LSM-conference and
a get-together for the FSFE. For this purpose, the FSFE is also organising a
public track during the days of July 7 + 8.
Community meeting means that we have our own "assembly" from 7 - 9 of July
with interesting sessions for and by the community but also still some room
left for your input. On day 9 we will then have an additional full day program
for everything related to FSFE and our community.
Find more information and details about the whole event on our wiki-page:
https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events/LSMandCommunityMeeting2018
If you have any more questions, send me a message or ask here on the list.
And, as already written in the newsletter May [2]: If you like to join the
Libre Software Meeting and our community meeting be quick to organise your
trip and book a suitable hotel. We expect many people to attend the event,
while Strasbourg attracts a lot of visitors during the summer weekends in general.
You find tips for accommodation also on the wiki page:
https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events/LSMandCommunityMeeting2018#Accommodation
And we have a special community offer for 105€ the whole week [3]. Please get
in contact with me until 28 of May to take advantage of this offer.
Best,
Erik
