DFEY is a group of young people from across Britain who believe in the need to protect their freedoms in this digital age, and wish to educate others about how to protect their own freedoms. DFEY understand that many communities and mailing lists set up on the Internet may be intimidating to younger members, and for this reason aim to provide a friendly environment in which younger people are not afraid to contribute their ideas.
DFEY was founded by members who believe strongly in the use of Free and Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) and as a result of this see the use of Open Source technologies as not only a good way to help protect digital freedoms, but also beneficial during any young person's technological education. DFEY therefore campaigns for the increased use of and education about FLOSS in schools across the UK.
A central website will soon be under development once our logo competition is complete, for now please see the knowlege bases of the two branch organisations. DFEY is split up in to branches aimed at different parts of the country, to maximise relevancy; we encourage people to attempt to form branches where they are located, if you want to start a branch try speaking with existing ones and find a few people who will join with you.
