Before starting with the details, a few words from former FSFE
interns:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
FSFE is involved in the most important processes on how
Information Society is being shaped, be it on a national,
European, or on a global level. It's exciting to be part of
these activities. (<cite>Alexander Finkenberger</cite>)
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
and
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
FSFE is a stimulating environment to work in. There are few
organisations where you can learn from so many perspectives in
this international and interdisciplinary context. If you read my
<a

you can make yourself an idea of different things I've been
working on. (<cite>Hugo Roy</cite>)
