| However, there is a problem, Developing Open Source software itself is not yet officially recognized as "volunteering" (Ehrenamt). | ||

| In Germany, we call this "Ehrenamt", which literally translates to an "office of honor". It means more than just volunteering. It is an official role where you serve the public good, and the state honors that contribution with special rights and respect. If you coach a football team, for instance, your work is visible and recognized by society. The state ensures you are covered by insurance and allows you to receive a small tax-free volunteer allowance (Ehrenamtspauschale). |

here you repeat "Ehrenamt" from the line above -- either one is fine, but both seem redundant. I would say, remove the parenthetical and keep this one

I am planning to ask for lining this blog post form the Petition web page using the Mixxx logo. Is this OK? |

Thanks for this nice post. I agree that it should become broader than just Germany, perhaps even the EU. Let's hope the petition can create awearness as a first step. |
