Petition urges German parliament to recognise open-source work as volunteering
Original: Eine Petition an den Bundestag fordert, Open-Source-Arbeit als Ehrenamt anzuerkennen, gleichrangig mit Vereinsarbeit ode
A petition to the German Bundestag calls for open-source software work to be officially recognised as volunteering, on equal footing with club work or emergency services. The petition needs 30,000 signatures to reach its quorum, and roughly half have been collected so far. Signatures can be submitted until 23 November, and supporters in the open-source community are urging others to add their names.
Why now: The petition is approaching its signature deadline with only about half the required 30,000 signatures collected, prompting supporters to push for more signatories.
