Cyber Security: Free Software Foundation Now Ranks Security as a Top Priority

Home › Cyber Security: Free Software Foundation Now Ranks Security as a Top Priority

By Dick Weisinger

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has recently updated a list of priorities of projects that they recommend developers consider.

The FSF press release said that “the High Priority Projects initiative, first launched in 2005, draws attention to a relatively small number of projects of great strategic importance to the goal of freedom for all computer users. The list serves to foster work on projects that are important for increasing the adoption and use of free software applications and free software operating systems. The list helps guide volunteers, supporters, and companies to projects where their skills and resources can be utilized, whether they be in coding, graphic design, writing, financial contributions, or activism.”

The list of FSF free software priorities includes the following:

  • Free security software
  • Free smartphone operating system
  • Free voice-enabled personal assistant software, like Siri or Alexa
  • Internationalization of software
