Great to see the @inkscape@mastodon.art encouraging its community to support, share, and sign the petition to recognize open-source work as volunteering in Germany.

#Inkscape is a well-known free and open source vector graphics editor for GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS.

Read more about their motivation here: https://inkscape.org/news/2026/05/13/inkscape-supports-german-petition-to-recognize-ope/

The Inkscape project has joined the group of supporting organizations for the German petition to recognize open source work as volunteering for the common good ("Ehrenamt"). Despite the petition being local to Germany, we believe that strengthening the position of open source contributors there will be beneficial to the open source community as a whole.

@unitof @river you would be able to get tax exemptions as a volunteer. Or an organisation could hand out donation receipts (which companies could use to reduce their taxes) :)

@c0c0bird @LieschenrelleuM @ePirat @thephpf @soatok please find the (german) FAQ about this topic here: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/blog/anerkennung-von-open-source-arbeit-als-ehrenamt-in-deutschland/19

Neuigkeiten: Anerkennung von Open-Source-Arbeit als Ehrenamt in Deutschland - Online-Petition

Open-Source-Software bildet heute das Fundament großer Teile der digitalen Infrastruktur – in Verwaltung, Wirtschaft, Forschung und im täglichen Leben. Selbst im aktuellen Koalitionsvertrag der Bundesregierung wird Open-Source-Software als elementarer Baustein zur Erreichung digitaler Souveränität genannt. Bei vielen Bürgern ist leider kein Bewusstsein vorhanden, wo sie überall mit Open-Source-Software in Verbindung kommen. Egal ob es eine Website im Internet ist, der Ticket-Automat für die Bahn

@LinHead @varbin @thephpf meanwhile (some weeks back) I got a free consultation by a lawer - and he told me to continue (knowing the issues about the petition) on the platform and keep it like it is :)

Replying to

@4censord@unfug.social @papiris@hachyderm.io I simply wasn’t aware of the official platform in the beginning. The petition was already shared across social media and had 100+ signatures. I simply didn’t want to create more confusion. Please sign and share anyways. 🙏

@ePirat got it. Some person from ÖDP (German party), which are also using this platform also recommended to use this instead of the offical platform - as it's way harder to get to the needed signatures. But anyway, thanks for your consideration :)

@funkylab@mastodon.social @inj4n@chaos.social already reached out to the Petitionsausschuss and asked for advise / clarification. My (non legal) guess is, they can't ignore a petiton just because it's not "the right platform" - this sounds not democratic to me. Also my friend (chatGPT) told me, it's ok to do it that way ;)
