Inkscape supports German petition to recognize Open Source volunteers

Recognition of Work on Open-source as Volunteering in Germany

📌 Summary of the Petition

The initiative calls on the German Parliament to officially recognize voluntary work in free and open-source software projects as community service.

Key points:

• Social importance: Free software supports much of the digital infrastructure in government, business, science, and everyday life.
• Current issue: Despite its relevance, the work of volunteers is not legally recognized as volunteering, nor does it receive tax or organizational benefits.
• Reasons for recognition:
  • It directly contributes to the common good, offering transparent and accessible software for everyone.
  • It is unpaid, done in free time, comparable to other traditional forms of volunteering.
  • Public and private institutions rely heavily on these contributions, but resources and recognition are lacking.
  • Recognition would bring legal and tax benefits, such as tax-free allowances and greater legal clarity.
  • Other countries already provide institutional support and tax benefits, and Germany risks falling behind.

Current status:

• The petition was launched in November 2025 and is open until November 2026.
• It already has over 14,000 signatures, aiming to reach 30,000 for quorum.

👉 In short: the goal is for voluntary work in open-source projects to be officially recognized as volunteering, with the same rights and benefits as other forms of community service.

Edit: the previous problem talked about is in this post. Thank you for your help. Especially u/moss_612 you're a real one.

Hello, I'm sorry if this is a bit scattered. I've had what seemed like the same problem before. Previously I had a problem where my machine was full and couldn't clear space. Even after going and cleaning the system (it showed that it removed some files this time, which looked like a good thing.) I accessed the terminal but the process seemed to change as ctr+alt+f1 seems to go into a different menu now (I remember it going to the terminal, it was an update that put me over the edge of space it seems? I kept denying these updates and was trying to clear my hard drive when this happened.)

I tried recovery mode like I did last time, but after doing that it showed that a bunch of stuff had failed. Trying to boot in recovery mode showed that several things have failed (I don't know the exact amount but it definitely seems like less than half of them atleast?)

I tried running TTY but it said that I didn't have permission before logging in? My password did not work even though it's the same passord I put in to log in.

My version number seems to be 6.14.0-37 though because of the before mentioned update I'm not entirely sure at this point. So while the "updates screwed up my hardrive theory" makes sense to me, that's still just a theory. The last thing I was doing with it was deleted a whole bunch of files and apps while moving documents and such to a USB.
