Related Organisations
Many of the issues that IFSO works on are shared by other
organisations in Europe and around the world. Below are some
organisations with compatible objectives that we have worked with, or
have benefitted significantly from. IFSO is an associate of
Free Software Foundation Europe. Our relationship with the other
organisations here is purely informal.
