Daniel Pocock is the new Fellowship representative
From 10 to 24 April 2017 the #FSFE ran the ninth annual vote for a Fellowship representative to represent the FSFE's community and Fellowship in the FSFE's General Assembly. The General Assembly consists of members of the FSFE e.V. and is FSFE's legal body. It is responsible for strategic planning, budgeting, agenda-setting, exonerating, and the electing and recalling of the Executive Council and the Financial Officer. And the winner of this year's election is ... Daniel Pocock!
Daniel Pocock came first from seven candidates who ran for office, with a self-description inside our wiki page for the Fellowship Elections 2017 and by participating in public hustings. Unfortunately two different dates were announced for the hustings, but the log-file is available online for everyone who missed it.
The FSFE would like to thank Nicolas Dietrich, former Fellowship representative, for his contributions during the last two years and welcomes Daniel Pocock as a new representative. Please find Daniel's personal conclusions in his own blog.

- From 26 to 28 April, the FSFE's annual Free Software #Legal and #Licensing workshop (LLW) took place in #Barcelona, #Spain. This year we gathered 120 legal experts from all over the world to share their knowledge and experience with each other in a 3-day event that encompassed more than 35 presentations on numerous legal issues, from open data to tooling, software patents and existing challenges for Free Software licensing.
- Armijn Hemel and Shane Coughlan, members of the FSFE Legal Team, published a guide for #startups, small businesses, and engineers on "Practical GPL compliance". The guide is designed to demystify #GPL compliance and to facilitate the work of compliance engineers on a practical level.
- North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populated state, is having general elections on 14 May 2017. The FSFE joined a "coalition of Free knowledge" which has developed for the first time a "Digital-o-Mat". The "Digital-o-Mat" is a tool to help those voters who are concerned about digital rights and freedoms, to decide about which party to vote for during these elections. Eight questions guide users to choose their own preferences on important topics about digital society - for example questions about the use of Free Software, Open Data or Open Educational Resources. After filling them out, users will see which party matches best with their own preferences and they can additionally browse detailed explanations on the party's positions regarding each topic. The interface for North-Rhine Westphalia is in German, the underlying Software however is Free Software and free to adopt for other purposes.
- On the FSFE's Planet, we had an interesting dialogue popping up between our executive director Jonas Öberg who argues that sometimes you can use proprietary software to further free and open source software although you should be aware about the risk of backfiring. And Daniel Pocock, our new Fellowship representative, answered with "the risk of proprietary software" and that "no deal might be better than a bad deal", meaning that if you cannot achieve something with Free Software you should consider just doing without it.
- Paul Hänsch, one of the FSFE's system administrators, organised the very first physical wiki caretakers meeting. The wiki caretakers are a team of volunteers who help to organise information inside the #wiki and make it easy for others to contribute.
- Monitoring shows that in the last semester nine Italian Regions have reduced advertisement of proprietary #PDF readers on their website, and that one Region has increased its support for Free Software PDF readers.
- The FSFE's executive director Jonas Öberg, blogs about "a new understanding of non-profit management" and uses this new understanding to analyse the FSFE's characteristics in the uses of technocracy, hierarchy, innovation and direction-orientation. Jonas closes his analytics with some thoughts about the way he would like to see the FSFE evolving.
- The FSFE was present with booths at the Linke Medien Akademie in Berlin/Germany, at the 16th Augsburger Linux Info Tag in #Augsburg/ #Germany, FOSS North in #Göteborg/ #Sweden and #Linuxtage in #Graz/ #Austria.

[l] Sagt euch Electron was? Nein nicht das Zahlungssystem von Visa, das Javascript-Hipster-Orgasmatron. Kennt ihr nicht? Nun, die Idee ist, dass man seine Anwendung in Javascript baut, weil das ja so eine tolle Umgebung ist für Softwareentwicklung (*speih*), und dann aber nicht dem Browser als Plattform nimmt, sondern eine Desktop-Anwendung daraus zimmert, indem man Node.js und ein Chromium mit V8 zusammenklebt. Der bekannteste Auswuchs dieser schwelenden Eiterbeule ist der Atom-"Editor", auf dem Microsofts "Visual Studio Code" auch aufbaut. Wir erinnern uns, das waren die mit den 13% CPU-Last wegen Cursor-Blinken.
Warum erwähne ich das? Nun, ihr werdet euch schon gedacht haben, wenn da irgendwelche Komponenten zusammengeleimt werden, das dann möglicherweise das Updaten unter den Tisch fällt. Hier hat mal jemand ein paar Electron-Apps untersucht. Ergebnis:out of 98 top Electron apps, they averaged 145 known Common Vulnerabilities & Exploits each due to unpached versions of Chromium
Sportlich! Selbst für übliche Webapp-Sumpfbewohner-Hipstermüll-"Anwendungen".

Was ist diaphoto ?
Diaphoto ist eine Art Fotospiel auf Diaspora. Vor über zwei Jahren entstand aus einer privaten Diskussion zu einem Foto, die Idee mit dem #diaphoto (ursprünglich photowort (https://pod.geraspora.de/posts/2049579)) und diese Aktion erfreute sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit großer Beliebtheit in der D*- Gemeide.
Eine lange Zeit haben Leute wöchentlich Bilder zu einem bestimmten Thema gepostet und das war immer sehr spannend, was dabei herausgekommen ist .
Irgendwann war allerdings auch die Luft raus und dann ist die Aktion friedlich eingeschlafen.
In der letzten Zeit war aber immer wieder zu lesen, dass es schade ist,dass diaphoto eingeschlafen ist und deshalb will ich es wieder zu Leben erwecken.

Someone is putting lots of work into hacking Github developers
Might be time to stop assuming we're not targets because we're "not that interesting."Open-source developers who use Github are in the cross-hairs of advanced malware that has steal passwords, download sensitive files, take screenshots, and self-destruct when necessary.
Dimnie, as the reconnaissance and espionage trojan is known, has largely flown under the radar for the past three years. It mostly targeted Russians until early this year, when a new campaign took aim at multiple owners of Github repositories. One commenter in this thread reported the initial infection e-mail was sent to an address that was used solely for Github, and researchers with Palo Alto Networks, the firm that reported the campaign on Tuesday, told Ars they have no evidence it targeted anyone other than Github developers.
[…]
The researchers declined to speculate who might be behind the campaign or what the motivations may be for targeting open-source developers. It's not hard to come up with plausible theories why either nation-sponsored for financially motivated hackers would want to spy on this demographic. What's clear now is that someone is devoting considerable time and expertise to make that happen.

The federation new design is live!
Hey everyone! My work on the-federation website redesign is done. It's the first step to offer a better vision of our beloved social network. It was a pleasure to work with @Jason Robinson on this project. If you find any bug please report it on github.
This new website brings new features, including a responsive design, a page for each project ( #diaspora, #friendica and #hubzilla) and for each node! This means you now have a list of nodes for each project, and charts for project (like users, posts... only for diaspora* for example). You also have new charts with interesting ratios, and (very) improved performance (no more freeze for you, #firefox).
Among the new features you can expect in future improvements will be versions information (how many pods, how many users are up-to-date). If you have any feedback please share!

Aktion: Werbeverbot ins Schulgesetz!
Hessen will ein weitreichendes Werbeverbot im Schulgesetz verankern, um Kinder und Jugendliche besser vor Beeinflussung zu schützen. Ein guter Plan, der anderen Bundesländern ein Vorbild sein sollte. Doch Unternehmensverbände laufen jetzt Sturm. Für sie ist die Beeinflussung von Kindern und Jugendlichen ein lukratives Geschäft.
In diesen Tagen fällt in Hessen die Vorentscheidung. Die BildungspolitikerInnen dürfen jetzt nicht klein beigeben und das geplante Verbot aufweichen.
Unterzeichnen Sie unseren Appell für ein starkes Werbeverbot an Schulen!
