*From January 30*

The FSF announced it has received a record-breaking charitable
contribution of 91.45 Bitcoin from the Pineapple Fund, valued at $1
million at the time of the donation. This gift is a testament to the
importance of free software, computer user freedom, and digital rights
when technology is interwoven with daily life.

### The Intel Management Engine: An attack on computer users' freedom

*From January 10 by Denis GNUtoo Carikli*

The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a tool that ships with Intel
chipsets, purportedly to ease the job of system administrators. But in
reality, it is another restriction on user freedoms, imposed by a
company, and used to control your computing. Carikli offers a
moderately technical explanation of what's happening with Management
Engine, the ways in which it restricts rather than empowers users, and
how it violates the four freedoms of free software.

Because the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities have drawn a great
deal of unwanted attention to Intel, we should use this opportunity to
educate others about the dangers of the Intel ME, as well as other
ongoing injustices imposed by proprietary software.

### A critical Intel flaw breaks basic security for most computers

*From January 3 by Andy Greenberg*

Early this month, security researchers took note of a series of
changes GNU/Linux and Windows developers began rolling out in beta
updates to address a critical security flaw: a bug in Intel chips
allows low-privilege processes to access memory in the computer's
kernel. Theoretical attacks that exploit that bug could allow
malicious software to spy deeply into other processes and data on the
target computer or smartphone. And on multi-user machines, they could
even allow hackers to break out of one user's process, and instead
snoop on other processes running on the same shared server.

*

### Researcher finds another security flaw in Intel management firmware

*From January 12 by Sean Gallagher*

Researchers at F-Secure have revealed another weakness in Intel's
management firmware that could allow an attacker with brief physical
access to PCs to gain persistent remote access to the system, thanks
to weak security in Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT)
firmware -- remote "out of band" device management technology
installed on 100 million systems over the last decade, according to
Intel.

*

### Victory for libre networks: ActivityPub is now a W3C recommended standard

*From January 23 by Christopher Lemmer Webber*

I'm happy to announce that after three years of standardization work
in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Social Working Group,
ActivityPub has finally been made an official W3C recommended
standard. ActivityPub is a protocol for building decentralized social
networking applications. Why ActivityPub? Increasingly, much of our
lives is mediated through social networks, and so network freedom in
these spaces -- and thus removing central control over them -- is
critical.

*

### GNU LibreJS: New and improved!

*From January 31*

The FSF is pleased to announce the release of a new and improved
version of GNU LibreJS, a plugin designed to protect the freedom of
users on the Web. We encourage everyone to use the new plugin with the
latest version of Abrowser, a browser that ships with Trisquel
GNU/Linux.

*

### Undermine mass surveillance with free software and your phone calls

*From January 11*

On Thursday, January 11, the US House of Representatives voted to
extend and expand an act enabling the National Security Agency's (NSA)
spying, allowing them to continue to surveil Americans' digital
communications without a warrant while conducting bulk surveillance
activities. The bill passed into law on January 18.

Mass surveillance is a software freedom issue, and free
software and email encryption help to make it more difficult for them
to collect our information.

*
*

### The future of O'Reilly and DRM

*From January 31*

We were surprised to hear that O'Reilly is moving away from selling
DRM-free ebooks on their Web site. Now, their ebooks are only
available through Safari, which requires proprietary software to use.

*

### City of Barcelona chooses GNU/Linux and free software after ditching Microsoft

*From January 11 by Adarsh Verma*

According to a report from Spanish newspaper *El País*, the City of
Barcelona is moving away from the proprietary software products from
Microsoft. This move is important in the wake of Munich’s recent
decision to again adopt Microsoft’s products. As per the report,
Barcelona plans to replace all user applications on its computers with
free software alternatives. After finding a proper replacement for all
proprietary software, the final step would be to go ahead with
replacing the operating system with GNU/Linux.

*

### Android users: To avoid malware, try the F-Droid app store

*From January 21 by Sean O'Brien and Michael Kwet*

The scourge of hidden trackers in Android apps means users should stop
using the Google Play store, researchers argue. F-Droid, on the other
hand, only offers free software apps without tracking, has a strict
auditing process, and can be easily installed on most Android phones
without hassles or restrictions. It may not have as many apps as
Google Play, but the apps that F-Droid has are far better for your
privacy and security -- and, most importantly, they are ethical.

*

### Third Replicant 6.0 release

*From December 30 by GNUtoo*

A new version (0003) of Replicant 6.0 has been released a few weeks
ago. It fixes an important issue that makes devices end up in a boot
loop (the devices were crashing during boot, endlessly) when
installing certain applications.

*

### Jarek Duda on software patents

*From January 19*

Why does the patent system respect the will of the greedy, and not the
will of the idealistic? On our End Software Patents page, Duda, who is
best known for the introduction of Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS),
explores how the patent system can hurt the creators of innovative new
programs.

*

### February to June 2017: RMS photos from Reykjavík, East Lansing, Potsdam, Montreal, and Salta

*From January 31*

January was a relatively quiet month for FSF president Richard
Stallman (RMS), so we're taking this opportunity to look back on a few
speeches that RMS gave last year and that we did not get a chance to
report on.

*

### Tony Sebro to join Software Freedom Conservancy board of directors and Outreachy leadership

*From January 12 by Software Freedom Conservancy*

Tony Sebro, who was Conservancy’s second full-time employee, is moving
on to become Deputy General Counsel at the Wikimedia Foundation, the
home of Wikipedia; however, he will be continuing with the Conservancy
in some important new volunteer roles. Specifically, Conservancy’s
Board of Directors has invited Tony to serve as an at-large
Director. Tony has also joined the Project Leadership committee of
Conservancy’s Outreachy project (their internship program for free
software contribution for underrepresented groups).

*

### GNOME Project: 2017 year in review

*From January 12 by GNOME Project*

2017 represented a strong year for the project, with another two
releases with large technical advances. We have seen growing numbers
of partners, new advisory board members and a wider adoption of GNOME
on several distributions. During the year, the GNOME Foundation board
set a number of policies in place which likely will have a positive
impact on the project, including hiring a full-time Executive Director
to oversee the future success of the organization.

*

### Collaborative Knowledge Foundation looking for NodeJS/React Developer

*From January 5*

Collaborative Knowledge is seeking a talented NodeJS / React developer
to work with them changing scientific publishing forever. They are a
mission-driven not-for-profit developing exciting new free software
platforms to accelerate and improve the process of scholarly
publishing (books and journals).

*

### GNU Linux-libre 4.15-gnu

*From January 29 by Alexandre Oliva*

GNU Linux-libre 4.15-gnu sources and tarballs are now available at
.
This release introduces changes in scripts/package, so that .deb and
.rpm scripts built with the scripts in there will refer to GNU
Linux-libre rather than upstream. This is in line with our goal of
not leading users to nonfree software.

*

### GCC 7 release series: GCC 7.3

*From January 25 by GCC team*

The GNU Project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
release of GCC 7.3. This release is a bug-fix release, containing
fixes for regressions in GCC 7.2 relative to previous releases of GCC.

*

### January Free Software Directory meeting recap

Check out the great work our volunteers accomplished at the January
Free Software Directory meetings. Every week free software activists
from around the world come together in #fsf on irc.freenode.org to
help improve the Free Software Directory.

*

### Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory

Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to
discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth
of useful information, from basic category and descriptions to version
control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The Free Software
Directory has been a great resource to software users over the past
decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with new and
exciting free software projects.

To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take place
in the #fsf channel on irc.freenode.org, and usually include a handful

### LibrePlanet featured resource: GNU/Keysigning/Offers

Every month on LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is
interesting and useful -- often one that could use your help.

For this month, we are highlighting GNU/Keysigning/Offers, which
provides a place for GNU contributors or maintainers to find other
people in their area to sign GPG keys and strengthen the Web of
Trust. You are invited to adopt, spread and improve this important
resource.

The Intel Management Engine: An attack on computer users' freedom



From January 10 by Denis GNUtoo Carikli



The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a tool that ships with Intel chipsets, purportedly to ease the job of system administrators. But in reality, it is another restriction on user freedoms, imposed by a company, and used to control your computing. Carikli offers a moderately technical explanation of what's happening with Management Engine, the ways in which it restricts rather than empowers users, and how it violates the four freedoms of free software.



Because the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities have drawn a great deal of unwanted attention to Intel, we should use this opportunity to educate others about the dangers of the Intel ME, as well as other ongoing injustices imposed by proprietary software.





A critical Intel flaw breaks basic security for most computers



From January 3 by Andy Greenberg



Early this month, security researchers took note of a series of changes GNU/Linux and Windows developers began rolling out in beta updates to address a critical security flaw: a bug in Intel chips allows low-privilege processes to access memory in the computer's kernel. Theoretical attacks that exploit that bug could allow malicious software to spy deeply into other processes and data on the target computer or smartphone. And on multi-user machines, they could even allow hackers to break out of one user's process, and instead snoop on other processes running on the same shared server.





Researcher finds another security flaw in Intel management firmware



From January 12 by Sean Gallagher



Researchers at F-Secure have revealed another weakness in Intel's management firmware that could allow an attacker with brief physical access to PCs to gain persistent remote access to the system, thanks to weak security in Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) firmware -- remote "out of band" device management technology installed on 100 million systems over the last decade, according to Intel.





Victory for libre networks: ActivityPub is now a W3C recommended standard



From January 23 by Christopher Lemmer Webber



I'm happy to announce that after three years of standardization work in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Social Working Group, ActivityPub has finally been made an official W3C recommended standard. ActivityPub is a protocol for building decentralized social networking applications. Why ActivityPub? Increasingly, much of our lives is mediated through social networks, and so network freedom in these spaces -- and thus removing central control over them -- is critical.





GNU LibreJS: New and improved!



From January 31



The FSF is pleased to announce the release of a new and improved version of GNU LibreJS, a plugin designed to protect the freedom of users on the Web. We encourage everyone to use the new plugin with the latest version of Abrowser, a browser that ships with Trisquel GNU/Linux.





Undermine mass surveillance with free software and your phone calls



From January 11



On Thursday, January 11, the US House of Representatives voted to extend and expand an act enabling the National Security Agency's (NSA) spying, allowing them to continue to surveil Americans' digital communications without a warrant while conducting bulk surveillance activities. The bill passed into law on January 18.



Mass surveillance is a software freedom issue, and free software and email encryption help to make it more difficult for them to collect our information.





The future of O'Reilly and DRM



From January 31



We were surprised to hear that O'Reilly is moving away from selling DRM-free ebooks on their Web site. Now, their ebooks are only available through Safari, which requires proprietary software to use.





City of Barcelona chooses GNU/Linux and free software after ditching Microsoft



From January 11 by Adarsh Verma



According to a report from Spanish newspaper El País, the City of Barcelona is moving away from the proprietary software products from Microsoft. This move is important in the wake of Munich’s recent decision to again adopt Microsoft’s products. As per the report, Barcelona plans to replace all user applications on its computers with free software alternatives. After finding a proper replacement for all proprietary software, the final step would be to go ahead with replacing the operating system with GNU/Linux.





Android users: To avoid malware, try the F-Droid app store



From January 21 by Sean O'Brien and Michael Kwet



The scourge of hidden trackers in Android apps means users should stop using the Google Play store, researchers argue. F-Droid, on the other hand, only offers free software apps without tracking, has a strict auditing process, and can be easily installed on most Android phones without hassles or restrictions. It may not have as many apps as Google Play, but the apps that F-Droid has are far better for your privacy and security -- and, most importantly, they are ethical.





Third Replicant 6.0 release



From December 30 by GNUtoo



A new version (0003) of Replicant 6.0 has been released a few weeks ago. It fixes an important issue that makes devices end up in a boot loop (the devices were crashing during boot, endlessly) when installing certain applications.





Jarek Duda on software patents



From January 19



Why does the patent system respect the will of the greedy, and not the will of the idealistic? On our End Software Patents page, Duda, who is best known for the introduction of Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS), explores how the patent system can hurt the creators of innovative new programs.





February to June 2017: RMS photos from Reykjavík, East Lansing, Potsdam, Montreal, and Salta



From January 31



January was a relatively quiet month for FSF president Richard Stallman (RMS), so we're taking this opportunity to look back on a few speeches that RMS gave last year and that we did not get a chance to report on.





Tony Sebro to join Software Freedom Conservancy board of directors and Outreachy leadership



From January 12 by Software Freedom Conservancy



Tony Sebro, who was Conservancy’s second full-time employee, is moving on to become Deputy General Counsel at the Wikimedia Foundation, the home of Wikipedia; however, he will be continuing with the Conservancy in some important new volunteer roles. Specifically, Conservancy’s Board of Directors has invited Tony to serve as an at-large Director. Tony has also joined the Project Leadership committee of Conservancy’s Outreachy project (their internship program for free software contribution for underrepresented groups).





GNOME Project: 2017 year in review



From January 12 by GNOME Project



2017 represented a strong year for the project, with another two releases with large technical advances. We have seen growing numbers of partners, new advisory board members and a wider adoption of GNOME on several distributions. During the year, the GNOME Foundation board set a number of policies in place which likely will have a positive impact on the project, including hiring a full-time Executive Director to oversee the future success of the organization.





Collaborative Knowledge Foundation looking for NodeJS/React Developer



From January 5



Collaborative Knowledge is seeking a talented NodeJS / React developer to work with them changing scientific publishing forever. They are a mission-driven not-for-profit developing exciting new free software platforms to accelerate and improve the process of scholarly publishing (books and journals).





GNU Linux-libre 4.15-gnu



From January 29 by Alexandre Oliva



GNU Linux-libre 4.15-gnu sources and tarballs are now available at https://www.fsfla.org/selibre/linux-libre/download/releases/4.15-gnu/. This release introduces changes in scripts/package, so that .deb and .rpm scripts built with the scripts in there will refer to GNU Linux-libre rather than upstream. This is in line with our goal of not leading users to nonfree software.





GCC 7 release series: GCC 7.3



From January 25 by GCC team



The GNU Project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the release of GCC 7.3. This release is a bug-fix release, containing fixes for regressions in GCC 7.2 relative to previous releases of GCC.





January Free Software Directory meeting recap



Check out the great work our volunteers accomplished at the January Free Software Directory meetings. Every week free software activists from around the world come together in #fsf on irc.freenode.org to help improve the Free Software Directory.





Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory



Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth of useful information, from basic category and descriptions to version control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The Free Software Directory has been a great resource to software users over the past decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with new and exciting free software projects.



To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take place in the #fsf channel on irc.freenode.org, and usually include a handful of regulars as well as newcomers. Freenode is accessible from any IRC client -- Everyone's welcome!



The next meeting is Friday, February 2, from 12pm to 3pm EST (16:00 to 19:00 UTC). Details here:





LibrePlanet featured resource: GNU/Keysigning/Offers



Every month on LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is interesting and useful -- often one that could use your help.

### The Intel Management Engine: An attack on computer users' freedom

*From January 10 by Denis GNUtoo Carikli*

The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a tool that ships with Intel
chipsets, purportedly to ease the job of system administrators. But in
reality, it is another restriction on user freedoms, imposed by a
company, and used to control your computing. Carikli offers a
moderately technical explanation of what's happening with Management
Engine, the ways in which it restricts rather than empowers users, and
how it violates the four freedoms of free software.

Because the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities have drawn a great
deal of unwanted attention to Intel, we should use this opportunity to
educate others about the dangers of the Intel ME, as well as other
ongoing injustices imposed by proprietary software.

*

### A critical Intel flaw breaks basic security for most computers

*From January 3 by Andy Greenberg*

Early this month, security researchers took note of a series of
changes GNU/Linux and Windows developers began rolling out in beta
updates to address a critical security flaw: a bug in Intel chips
allows low-privilege processes to access memory in the computer's
kernel. Theoretical attacks that exploit that bug could allow
malicious software to spy deeply into other processes and data on the
target computer or smartphone. And on multi-user machines, they could
even allow hackers to break out of one user's process, and instead
snoop on other processes running on the same shared server.

*

### Researcher finds another security flaw in Intel management firmware

*From January 12 by Sean Gallagher*

Researchers at F-Secure have revealed another weakness in Intel's
management firmware that could allow an attacker with brief physical
access to PCs to gain persistent remote access to the system, thanks
to weak security in Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT)
firmware -- remote "out of band" device management technology
installed on 100 million systems over the last decade, according to
Intel.

*

### Victory for libre networks: ActivityPub is now a W3C recommended standard

*From January 23 by Christopher Lemmer Webber*

I'm happy to announce that after three years of standardization work
in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Social Working Group,
ActivityPub has finally been made an official W3C recommended
standard. ActivityPub is a protocol for building decentralized social
networking applications. Why ActivityPub? Increasingly, much of our
lives is mediated through social networks, and so network freedom in
these spaces -- and thus removing central control over them -- is
critical.

*

### GNU LibreJS: New and improved!

*From January 31*

The FSF is pleased to announce the release of a new and improved
version of GNU LibreJS, a plugin designed to protect the freedom of
users on the Web. We encourage everyone to use the new plugin with the
latest version of Abrowser, a browser that ships with Trisquel
GNU/Linux.

*

### Undermine mass surveillance with free software and your phone calls

*From January 11*

On Thursday, January 11, the US House of Representatives voted to
extend and expand an act enabling the National Security Agency's (NSA)
spying, allowing them to continue to surveil Americans' digital
communications without a warrant while conducting bulk surveillance
activities. The bill passed into law on January 18.

Mass surveillance is a software freedom issue, and free
software and email encryption help to make it more difficult for them
to collect our information.

### The future of O'Reilly and DRM

*From January 31*

We were surprised to hear that O'Reilly is moving away from selling
DRM-free ebooks on their Web site. Now, their ebooks are only
available through Safari, which requires proprietary software to use.

*

### City of Barcelona chooses GNU/Linux and free software after ditching Microsoft

*From January 11 by Adarsh Verma*

According to a report from Spanish newspaper *El País*, the City of
Barcelona is moving away from the proprietary software products from
Microsoft. This move is important in the wake of Munich’s recent
decision to again adopt Microsoft’s products. As per the report,
Barcelona plans to replace all user applications on its computers with
free software alternatives. After finding a proper replacement for all
proprietary software, the final step would be to go ahead with
replacing the operating system with GNU/Linux.

*

### Android users: To avoid malware, try the F-Droid app store

*From January 21 by Sean O'Brien and Michael Kwet*

The scourge of hidden trackers in Android apps means users should stop
using the Google Play store, researchers argue. F-Droid, on the other
hand, only offers free software apps without tracking, has a strict
auditing process, and can be easily installed on most Android phones
without hassles or restrictions. It may not have as many apps as
Google Play, but the apps that F-Droid has are far better for your
privacy and security -- and, most importantly, they are ethical.

*

### Third Replicant 6.0 release

*From December 30 by GNUtoo*

A new version (0003) of Replicant 6.0 has been released a few weeks
ago. It fixes an important issue that makes devices end up in a boot
loop (the devices were crashing during boot, endlessly) when
installing certain applications.

*

### Jarek Duda on software patents

*From January 19*

Why does the patent system respect the will of the greedy, and not the
will of the idealistic? On our End Software Patents page, Duda, who is
best known for the introduction of Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS),
explores how the patent system can hurt the creators of innovative new
programs.

*

### February to June 2017: RMS photos from Reykjavík, East Lansing, Potsdam, Montreal, and Salta

*From January 31*

January was a relatively quiet month for FSF president Richard
Stallman (RMS), so we're taking this opportunity to look back on a few
speeches that RMS gave last year and that we did not get a chance to
report on.

*

### Tony Sebro to join Software Freedom Conservancy board of directors and Outreachy leadership

*From January 12 by Software Freedom Conservancy*

Tony Sebro, who was Conservancy’s second full-time employee, is moving
on to become Deputy General Counsel at the Wikimedia Foundation, the
home of Wikipedia; however, he will be continuing with the Conservancy
in some important new volunteer roles. Specifically, Conservancy’s
Board of Directors has invited Tony to serve as an at-large
Director. Tony has also joined the Project Leadership committee of
Conservancy’s Outreachy project (their internship program for free
software contribution for underrepresented groups).

*

### GNOME Project: 2017 year in review

*From January 12 by GNOME Project*

2017 represented a strong year for the project, with another two
releases with large technical advances. We have seen growing numbers
of partners, new advisory board members and a wider adoption of GNOME
on several distributions. During the year, the GNOME Foundation board
set a number of policies in place which likely will have a positive
impact on the project, including hiring a full-time Executive Director
to oversee the future success of the organization.

*

### Collaborative Knowledge Foundation looking for NodeJS/React Developer

*From January 5*

Collaborative Knowledge is seeking a talented NodeJS / React developer
to work with them changing scientific publishing forever. They are a
mission-driven not-for-profit developing exciting new free software
platforms to accelerate and improve the process of scholarly
publishing (books and journals).

*

### GNU Linux-libre 4.15-gnu

*From January 29 by Alexandre Oliva*

GNU Linux-libre 4.15-gnu sources and tarballs are now available at
.
This release introduces changes in scripts/package, so that .deb and
.rpm scripts built with the scripts in there will refer to GNU
Linux-libre rather than upstream. This is in line with our goal of
not leading users to nonfree software.

*

### GCC 7 release series: GCC 7.3

*From January 25 by GCC team*

The GNU Project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
release of GCC 7.3. This release is a bug-fix release, containing
fixes for regressions in GCC 7.2 relative to previous releases of GCC.

### January Free Software Directory meeting recap

Check out the great work our volunteers accomplished at the January
Free Software Directory meetings. Every week free software activists
from around the world come together in #fsf on irc.freenode.org to
help improve the Free Software Directory.

*

### Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory

Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to
discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth
of useful information, from basic category and descriptions to version
control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The Free Software
Directory has been a great resource to software users over the past
decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with new and
exciting free software projects.

To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take place
in the #fsf channel on irc.freenode.org, and usually include a handful
of regulars as well as newcomers. Freenode is accessible from any IRC
client -- Everyone's welcome!

The next meeting is Friday, February 2, from 12pm to 3pm EST (16:00 to
19:00 UTC). Details here:

### LibrePlanet featured resource: GNU/Keysigning/Offers

Every month on LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is
interesting and useful -- often one that could use your help.

For this month, we are highlighting GNU/Keysigning/Offers, which
provides a place for GNU contributors or maintainers to find other
people in their area to sign GPG keys and strengthen the Web of
Trust. You are invited to adopt, spread and improve this important

The Intel Management Engine: An attack on computer users' freedom



From January 10 by Denis GNUtoo Carikli



The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a tool that ships with Intel chipsets, purportedly to ease the job of system administrators. But in reality, it is another restriction on user freedoms, imposed by a company, and used to control your computing. Carikli offers a moderately technical explanation of what's happening with Management Engine, the ways in which it restricts rather than empowers users, and how it violates the four freedoms of free software.



Because the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities have drawn a great deal of unwanted attention to Intel, we should use this opportunity to educate others about the dangers of the Intel ME, as well as other ongoing injustices imposed by proprietary software.





A critical Intel flaw breaks basic security for most computers



From January 3 by Andy Greenberg



Early this month, security researchers took note of a series of changes GNU/Linux and Windows developers began rolling out in beta updates to address a critical security flaw: a bug in Intel chips allows low-privilege processes to access memory in the computer's kernel. Theoretical attacks that exploit that bug could allow malicious software to spy deeply into other processes and data on the target computer or smartphone. And on multi-user machines, they could even allow hackers to break out of one user's process, and instead snoop on other processes running on the same shared server.





Researcher finds another security flaw in Intel management firmware



From January 12 by Sean Gallagher



Researchers at F-Secure have revealed another weakness in Intel's management firmware that could allow an attacker with brief physical access to PCs to gain persistent remote access to the system, thanks to weak security in Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) firmware -- remote "out of band" device management technology installed on 100 million systems over the last decade, according to Intel.





Victory for libre networks: ActivityPub is now a W3C recommended standard



From January 23 by Christopher Lemmer Webber



I'm happy to announce that after three years of standardization work in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Social Working Group, ActivityPub has finally been made an official W3C recommended standard. ActivityPub is a protocol for building decentralized social networking applications. Why ActivityPub? Increasingly, much of our lives is mediated through social networks, and so network freedom in these spaces -- and thus removing central control over them -- is critical.





GNU LibreJS: New and improved!



From January 31



The FSF is pleased to announce the release of a new and improved version of GNU LibreJS, a plugin designed to protect the freedom of users on the Web. We encourage everyone to use the new plugin with the latest version of Abrowser, a browser that ships with Trisquel GNU/Linux.





Undermine mass surveillance with free software and your phone calls



From January 11



On Thursday, January 11, the US House of Representatives voted to extend and expand an act enabling the National Security Agency's (NSA) spying, allowing them to continue to surveil Americans' digital communications without a warrant while conducting bulk surveillance activities. The bill passed into law on January 18.



Mass surveillance is a software freedom issue, and free software and email encryption help to make it more difficult for them to collect our information.





The future of O'Reilly and DRM



From January 31



We were surprised to hear that O'Reilly is moving away from selling DRM-free ebooks on their Web site. Now, their ebooks are only available through Safari, which requires proprietary software to use.





City of Barcelona chooses GNU/Linux and free software after ditching Microsoft



From January 11 by Adarsh Verma



According to a report from Spanish newspaper El País, the City of Barcelona is moving away from the proprietary software products from Microsoft. This move is important in the wake of Munich’s recent decision to again adopt Microsoft’s products. As per the report, Barcelona plans to replace all user applications on its computers with free software alternatives.
