OpenTechSummit Potsdam/Berlin 25. Mai 2017, Open Technologies, Open Hardware, Open Source, Open Knowledge, Internet of Things, Open Data
At the 2017 Free
Software Legal and Licensing Workshop (LLW), which was held April 26-28
in Barcelona, Spain, more information about the GPL enforcement efforts by Patrick McHardy
emerged. The workshop is organized by the Free Software Foundation Europe
(FSFE) and its legal
network.
A panel discussion on the final day of the workshop discussed
McHardy's methodology and outlined why those efforts are actually far from
the worst-case scenario of a copyright troll. While the Q&A portion of the
discussion was under Chatham House
Rule (which was the default for the workshop), the discussion between
the three participants was not—it provided much more detail about McHardy's efforts, and
copyright trolling in general, than has been previously available publicly.

The news that #Greenland's public records system (./posts/42e20870e4b90134d8e90242ac110007) will be Free Software is already tow months old, but I haven't had the chance to congratulate #FSFE Fellow @Carsten Agger and his company for getting the contract (http://blogs.fsfe.org/agger/2017/03/14/building-greenlands-data-infrastructure-as-free-software/)!

All across Europe, from Finland to Portugal, Ireland to Greece, the information technology (IT) of government administrations is based on Microsoft programs. This dependence has severe consequences. Investigate Europe’s research will be published in more then 12 countries this time …
Dependentes de software caro, e que é usado secretamente pelas agências de segurança de Washington para recolher informação sensÃvel, os serviços públicos europeus estão "capturados". Mas podia haver "um projecto Airbus" para a independência tecnológica da Europa. Já há alguns exemplos.

Blog post by FSFE's Executive Director @jonaso@diasp.eu :Policy, why's that?
"... but as Schneier puts it: it's no longer a question of it, it's a question of when. As free and open source software gets into health care, automotive and other safety critical areas, it's getting further into areas of software regulation, and those areas will only expand over time.
To meet this need for regulation, we must ensure regulatory agencies and governments are getting the support and knowledge they need to create good policies and regulation, rather than bad ones.

#FSFE #Policy #FreeSoftware #OpenSourceIn November 2016, Bruce Schneier wrote about the need for increased regulation in the software sphere. If we want to secure our increasingly computerized and connected world, we need more government involvement in the security of the "Internet of Things" and increased regulation of what are now critical and life-threatening
