Quoting: Electronic Frontier Foundation, F-Droid, and Sugar Labs leaders to speak at FSF's fortieth anniversary —
The fortieth anniversary celebration of the FSF will bring the international free software community together to celebrate forty years of activism, the free software movement, and its achievements. Activists, hackers, law professionals, artists, educators, students, developers, policymakers, and tinkerers of all kinds will discuss what to do next to spread software freedom and make the world freer.
Today, the FSF announced that Paige Collings, senior speech and privacy activist from the EFF, F-Droid board member and App Fair Project founder Marc Prud'hommeaux, Devin Ulibarri, the executive director of Sugar Labs, and Greg Farough, the FSF's campaigns manager will form the closing panel of the FSF's anniversary event. The EFF is the leading nonprofit on digital privacy, free speech, and innovation, F-Droid and the App Fair Project both distribute free software applications for mobile phones, and Sugar Labs, an innovative community of free software enthusiasts creating educational tools. In sum, the panel is well-positioned to speak on a range of topics varying from nonprofit leadership in 2025 to defending your user rights in the digital age.
The panelist will discuss what the mission of the FSF means for privacy, education, and mobile phone freedom, why it's still relevant after forty years, and what the future may bring for the free software movement. Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF, said: "We look forward to welcoming these qualified speakers to speak on the different aspects of software freedom, from privacy to education and mobile phone freedom. These areas are mission-critical for the FSF and for our future."
