Workshop and presentations abstract

= PDFReaders: =

PDFReaders.org is a campaign launched by the Free Software Foundation in
late 2008. It originated in Berlin's fellowship group and has attracted
wider attention, including news coverage in major (German) online media
and even some print-media. We will talk about interesting details of the
PDFReaders-Campaign and also speak about campaign work for Software
Freedom in general.


= FTF: =

The Freedom Task Force is the FSFE's legal department. Why should a
fellow be concerned about legal stuff? Well, maybe you don't need to be
concerned, but there are some things you should know. This talk will
illustrate best practices for Free Software projects around legal and
licensing issues and show what the FTF and FSFE can do for you.


= Open PGP: =

This workshop is all about the best-known Fellowship feature: the
Fellowship cryptocard. It will show how to basically set up GnuPG for
use with an OpenPGP smartcard. These smartcards provide many cool
features: Not only will you be able to carry your GnuPG secret with you
without having to store it on an unsecure device like a USB stick, but
you can also use it for authentication via SSH or on your local desktop.
Of course this workshop is not only for FSFE's Fellows, but for everyone
who is interested in data security. If you have any questions on how to
use an OpenPGP smartcard, please participate!


= Infrastructure Workshop =

Martin Gollowitzer, Alina Mierlus
The workshop is about how to use the Fellow Infrastructure: blog, wiki, SVN. It is meant to help participants in order to get used with the Infrastructure. The workshop will be more practical.

= Web Workshop =

Andreas Tolfsten, Matthias Kirschner
This workshop is all about planning the new web at the functionality level. All people who have feedback about our present webpage or ideas for future implementations are invited to attend.


= Karsten Gerloff - Free Software in Europe: Taking Stock of the Public Sector =

Free Software is conquering the public sector. Public bodies
across Europe use Free Software in different ways. Some see it
merely as a way of saving money. But many others are making good
use of the strategic independence that Free Software provides.
Some even use Free Software as a tool for regional development.
This talk provides an overview of the different ways in which
European public bodies and education authorities use Free Software
to their own advantage, and to the advantage of their citizens.
