FSF announces a major overhaul of free software High Priority Projects List

By Brian Fagioli

The HPP list highlights projects of great strategic importance to the goal of freedom for all computer users. A committee of free software activists, assembled in 2014, spent a year soliciting feedback from the free software community for the latest revision of the list.

"As the technological landscape has shifted over the last decade since the first version of the list was published, threats to users' freedom to use their computers on their own terms have changed enormously," said Benjamin Mako Hill, who is part of the High Priority Projects committee and also a member of the FSF's board of directors. "The updated High Priority Projects list is a description of the most important threats, and most critical opportunities, that free software faces in the modern computing landscape."

Autism

For what is worth, with how many 'progressive' people are in the field, us that are against them are underrepresented in the community and we can't contribute without being attacked because of our political belief

+1 Upboat fellow redditor, ebin autism maymay

protip: The FSF have always been about progressive morals. This is nothing new.

Only in some weird twisted alternate universe.

Why "Free phone system" if replicant is a thing?

Back to Holla Forums you worthless faggot who has contributed nothing to humanity and never will

Have you seen the hardware support for replicant? (Hint: It's non-existant.)

They should specify further support from Replicant instead of "free phone OS"

so you are against having more niggers and wymyn doing actual technical contributions?

can't trust a Breitbart simpleton with churning an 8-word sentence in his head. Anti-SJWism is just another religious ideology; you can't tell it by looking at how they sperg out when presented with words like "encourage" and "underrepresented". They're supposed to be on their ban list


Replicant only covers the application processor. I guess they are hinting at freeing the modem processor too

why wouldnt you just change your last name

all i ever wanted

Why would you strawman with something so nonsensical? They object to using resources to motivate people that don't share the same goal to begin with.

Back to Reddit, cancer.

And people who want to actually work and get shit done can't because were expected to be involved in all this political nonsense.

I'd agree with that insofar as this political nonsense has nothing to do with software or technology.
