When the FSFE launched their fellowship back in 2005, I joined to be a fellow almost immediately. I have always been a strong supporter of Free Software and the FSFE is doing a great job in Europe with far less money than the FSF, who is working mainly in the US. This is not an easy task, with so many different countries and legal systems and languages, but they have managed to build up a great network.
I sometimes meet people who ask about what the FSFE is doing precisely and I wonder if they have been living under a rock: preventing software patents, advising the EU in various society issues, building up the Freedom Task Force, offering the Fiduciary License Agreement to developers and much, much more are the daily work of these brave people from the FSFE, which I count among my good friends. So when the fellowship was created, I was glad to join and give some of my money to support their work, knowing I would get a lot back.
Still, I was surprised and honored to be contacted for an interview as a fellow, which you can now read here: The smallest unit of freedom: a fellow.
