1. FSFE becomes the legal guardian of the OpenSwarm Project
OpenSwarm is the second project to make use of the fiduciary services of the FSFE Freedom Task Force. OpenSwarm is planned to be a holistic set of model-driven software development tools focused on the easy creation of powerful and business logic enriched applications in the field of Web- and data-centric solutions. By signing the Fiduicary License Agreement (FLA) with FSFE, the project allows FSFE to become its legal guardian.

2. Transcript of Richard Stallman on the Free Software movement
Ciarán O'Riordan has compiled a transcript of a lecture given by Richard Stallman in Zagreb. This speech is certainly a good source of information about various Free Software related topics.

3. Windows Vista released - FSFE recommends switching to GNU/Linux
FSFE has taken the opportunity of Windows Vista's launch to remind about the dangers and threats arising from the use of proprietary software. As many users will have to convert to a new operating system anyway, FSFE recommends to take the chance to get rid of the chains of proprietary software and switch to a Free Software solution.

4. Get Active: Join the Revolution!
The internship position in FSFE's office in Zürich is becoming vacant in March, and FSFE is looking for somebody to continue the series of interested and motivated interns. An internship with FSFE is an interesting, challenging and exciting experience, and there are few other opportunities to work with a highly dynamical NGO on an international level.
