#Apple is really mad at the @fsfe . When I read Apple's response (not public) to our submission ( https://download.fsfe.org/device-neutrality/fsfe-Intervention-apple-vs-commission-Sep-24-redacted.pdf ) I was so proud of @llas +Jithendra +Martin and the whole team @fsfe who work on this, making a positive impact for #FreeSoftware #OpenSource on mobile phones https://fsfe.org/activities/apple-litigation/apple-litigation.en.html

Yesterday was one of the greatest day in my life. Together with over 800 children and @fsfe guests we had the German premiere of the movie "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream". Thank you so much to all who made this possible (see the credits).

The different sources for the movie are listed: https://ada.fsfe.org/movie
A first selection of pictures from the premiere: https://pics.fsfe.org/gallery/5Tcc_rbuFkkT5FWB9xd3jSAK

Please help to spread the movie with https://sharepic.fsfe.org/#ada

Ready for tomorrow's German "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" movie premiere. 😀

🤗 We got a donation of 650€ from a great couple who asked the guests of their birthday party to put donations in this piggy bank (the one on the picture) instead of presents for them, as they consider our work for society crucial.

A big thank you to them! 👏👏👏👏 https://fsfe.org/support

The official part of #SFScon is now over for our team at the @fsfe and allies . So proud of being part of this great team with @llas @pjitendra Ana, Henrik, myself, @johas , Francesca, Reinhard, Bradley, Dario, @tommi Henning, Alex, Marta, Florian, @lnceballos Thomas, @Tobias and Erika. 👏👏👏👏

It was a huge honour for me today with Raphael to posthumously hand over the European #SFSAward 2024 to #vim developer Bram Moolenaar for his invaluable contributions to the #FreeSoftware community.

If you are a #vim user, have been an #vim user, or admire Bram's work, please boost this message.
