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!

@kde
For some reason it doesnt like my mail adress... -
@kde and where's the petition that actually has a chance of achieving anything?
Where's the parliamentary e-petition?
Because petitions on whatever platforms are pointless. Petitions filed with the Bundestag petition committee actually force the parliament to discuss them if they pass the threshold.
It made me wonder whether this "OpenPetition" wasn't some shady data collection endeavour.
What is the point in collecting home addresses, if this is an unofficial petition with no public entity confirming addresses?
Why can only German citizens participate?
For official petitions to the Federal Parliament (also quorum 30K persons), neither citizenship nor residence within the country is required.
It all seems to be a great idea, but the platform makes me suspicious.
