This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:

openpetition.de/petition/onlin…

This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.

If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

We have a petition borgerforslag.dk/se-og-stoet-f… running in Denmark on the "official" petition website. If it reaches 50k signatures, the parliament is required to discuss it.

Can someone fork Enafore and keep it going? I love Enafore so much more than the regular Mastodon interface but I haven't seen updates on it for a while now! github.com/enafore/enafore #Mastodon #Fediverse #Enafore

Hello! We are the European Rail Passengers Union. We believe that the voices of rail passengers are key to improving cross border rail in Europe. That’s why we are starting a group to make them heard.

Join us at erpu.eu, and we’re looking forward to connecting with everyone here on the fediverse!

#FOSDEM was exhausting but amazing. Was lovely to see so many #IzzyOnDroid users and to hear how much people love #Droidify and #NeoStore!

Learning more about #SHIFT and #BlissLabs was great too, what great projects to share our stand with!

And y'all are sticker monsters, I started running out of #Catima stickers so much faster than expected but it was lovely to hear how many people love the project :)

Thank you all for making #FOSDEM2026 this fun and memorable! :)


We are at #FOSDEM! Come visit the #IzzyOnDroid / #SHIFT / #BlissLabs booth in UD2 and say hi!

We also have stickers and flyers for IzzyOnDroid #WayDroid, #BlissOS, #SHIFTphone and a few for #Catima.
