Do you have something similar in your country? Why not help your national FLOSS projects get the status and support they often desperately need? Start your own petition!

@tdforg @gnome @Blender @fedora @Krita @kdenlive @videolan @fsfe

This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:

https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/recognition-of-work-on-open-source-as-volunteering-in-germany#petition-main

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!
