-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Do you want to promote free software in public administrations? Then the campaign framework of "Public Money? Public Code!" might be the right choice for you. In this European Union campaign, more than 170 organizations and more than 26,000 individuals have come together to demand that publicly financed software should be made publicly available under free software licenses. Together, we contacted politicians and civil servants on all levels -- from the European Union and national governments to city mayors and the heads of public libraries -- about this demand. This effort started with important discussions about software freedom with decision makers, and has already resulted in specific policy changes.<br />
-<br />
-In this talk, I will explain how the campaign framework can be used to push for the adoption of free software-friendly policies in your area.</div></div>

-<h2>Matthias Kirschner</h2></div>
-<div class="webform-long-answer">Matthias Kirschner is the president of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). In 1999, he started using GNU/Linux, and realized that software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives, and this convinced him that technology has to empower society, not restrict it. While studying political and administrative science, he joined FSFE in 2004.<br />
-<br />
-He helps other organizations, companies, and governments to understand how they can benefit from free software -- which gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt and share software -- and how those rights help to support freedom of speech, freedom of press, and our right to privacy.</div>
