@kde The state should recognize the highly flexible and scalable mode of working on an open source project and create and exemption, removing the 15 hours/week barrier and requirement to announce such work beforehand.

This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:@kde Ways Germany can and will turn this against people:
If this is passed without further additions, contributing more than 15 hours / week as an unemployed German citizen can be interpreted as "not being fully available to the job market" and penalized.
If you receive more than 250€/mo via patreon or something as donations for your open source work, this will be penalized by counting as income.
You also have to know how much (highly variable) work you'll be doing.
