Following a decision at the last foundation board meeting of FKF to co-operate more closely with FSF Europe, as well as a decision by the members of the FSFE Team, both organisations are delighted to announce their official co-operation. The FKF is the first associate organisation of the FSFE in Spain, a country with a strong Free Software community.
"Our adversaries are usually multi-national groups, funded heavily by multi-national companies. If we are to defend Free Software and all that is related to it against their encroachments, then we need to be equally present," explains Georg Greve, President of Free Software Foundation Europe. "That is why FSFE started out as a multi-national organisation from the outset, building teams across cultural and language barriers to work together to further Free Software. We are very happy to welcome another group to our large family."
"While we are focused on Free Knowledge, Free Software, Free Standards and Intellectual Wealth dissemination, Free Software is at the centre of our work, as the initiating and inspiring phenomenon of this new way of understanding knowledge.", says Pablo Machón, President of FKF. "The FSFE has always been an inspiration for our work. Becoming an associated organisation of FSFE is, thus, a natural consequence of sharing ideals, a long-term vocation, and working together towards the same goal."
