It’s always a great honor to present the European SFS Award together with Matthias Kirschner from the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) — and the local SFS Award on behalf of the Linux User Group Bolzano-Bozen-Bulsan. 🏆 This year, we’re celebrating two outstanding contributors to software freedom: ✨ Jean-Baptiste Kempf (VLC) – for his long-standing commitment to making multimedia truly free and open for everyone, and ✨ Adrian Kuntner (tyrol.social) – for his inspiring work on free and federated social networks. Congratulations to both! And thank you to everyone who keeps pushing for digital freedom, openness, and community-driven innovation. 💻💚 #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FSAwards #FSFE #Linux #Community #DigitalFreedom #FOSS
