En raison de l'épidémie actuelle du virus Covid-19, de nombreux employeurs - volontaires ou obligatoires - travaillent désormais à distance. De nombreuses organisations qui n'étaient pas habituées au travail à distance jusqu'à présent sont maintenant confrontées à un certain nombre de difficultés pour s'adapter à la situation. Pour éviter d'éventuels blocages, certains partisans de la FSFE ont collectivement écrit sur les bonnes raisons d'utiliser des Logiciels Libres pour le travail à distance et ont rassemblé une liste détaillée de solutions pratiques dans notre wiki.
En raison de l'épidémie actuelle du virus Covid-19, de nombreuses organisations qui n'avaient jamais auparavant orienté leur réflexion stratégique vers les solutions disponibles pour le travail à distance dans leur entreprise optent désormais pour une solution rapide et choisissent de suivre les offres - au début souvent gratuites - des grandes entreprises technologiques et leurs solutions propriétaires. Cependant, de telles solutions propriétaires enfermeront ces organisations à l'avenir.
Au lieu de quoi choisir une solution de Logiciel Libre signifie opter pour une solution qui a un avenir, où votre organisation ne dépend plus d'un fournisseur ou d'un format de fichier particulier ou de tout autre moyen que ces fournisseurs choisissent de vous enfermer. Le Logiciel Libre vous donne le contrôle.
Pour vous aider à démarrer ou à approfondir l'utilisation des Logiciels Libres pour le travail collaboratif et à distance, certains partisans de la FSFE ont travaillé sur une liste détaillée de Logiciels Libres pour différents objectifs et ont publié le résultat dans notre wiki. Trouvez l'inspiration pour votre environnement de travail ou ajoutez votre propre solution.

The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) demands that the use of tracking technologies that aim at breaking the chains of disease infection may only be promoted on a voluntary basis, fundamental rights must be respected and the software must be published under a Free Software licence.
In the last days there have been increasing debates about the use and development of apps that aim at helping to contain the corona virus, by tracking new infections and their contact persons. With the help of a contact diary it is possible to record who met with whom and when. If a person is infected with the corona virus, their contacts are informed and asked to isolate themselves and to take further actions, if necessary. It will be hopefully possible to break the chain of infection and thus reduce the infection rate. In some countries, there are also discussions about a mandatory use of this app, which would interfere on people's right to control their technology and thus their privacy.
The Free Software Foundation Europe demands that any such app may only be introduced on a voluntary basis and the software must be published under a Free Software licence, sometimes also called Open Source. Any medical records and data must be placed under the highest priority of data protection. Only Free Software offers enough transparency to validate a complete data protection and a compliant use, thus trust can be established. Not to forget that a majority of investments in the current crisis and a lot of actors in the medical sector are state-funded, and publicly financed software developed for the public sector must be made publicly available under Free Software licences, as hundreds of organisations and tens of thousands of people demand.
Global problems need global solutions and it is only Free Software that enables global code development cooperation in a legally safe environment. Any proprietary solution will lead inevitably to countless isolated solutions and thereby waste energy and time.
Besides global cooperation, Free Software licences allow sharing of code in any jurisdiction. Solutions developed in one country can be reused and adpated in another one. International development agencies and humanitarian movements can help to contain the spread of COVID-19 in any country around the world with Free Software solutions.
