Friends of the Digital Freedom Foundation
There are hundreds - if not thousands - of software projects out there that foster software freedom. We're grateful for all of them. There are a few organizations that earned a special spot on the timeline of the DFF.
Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a non-profit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom.
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of press, and privacy.
The main websites of the DFF run on Joomla - without their powerful and flexible ecosystem, it wouldn't be possible to develop our organization to what it is today.
Creative Commons enables knowledge and cultural sharing while respecting creators. They align with the values of the Software Freedom movement.
Nextcloud enables us to exchange ideas and set up our private cloud service with document editing powers.
