Great to see recommendations for the UK to participate in international digital public goods development initiatives, while investing in the local open source ecosystem productizing them !

Thrilled to announce that I'll be leading @lfeurope@mastodon.social going forward, in addition to continuing as General Manager for @OpenInfra@social.openinfra.dev !
It's a great time for open source in Europe and I'm excited about the opportunity to make sure we Europeans efficiently leverage the open source global commons.
Not a joke, today is the release day for OpenStack 2026.1 (codename "Gazpacho"), for which I humbly contributed as one of the release managers.
Great to see an increase in the number of contributors (and the number of contributions!) during this development cycle, resulting in exciting new features.

Big thread explaining how @osi@social.opensource.org helped the G7 refine its open AI definitions !
Great work @jmaris@eupolicy.social
I was very happy to participate in the Open Source & EU Policy devroom at #FOSDEM to talk about how leveraging the global open source commons is the key to increase EU's #DigitalSovereignty .
Missed it? Check out the video:

The cat is finally out of the bag! Welcome @duane@hachyderm.io to @osi@social.opensource.org !
Wanna talk about infrastructure digital sovereignty at KubeCon EU in Amsterdam ?
You are in luck! The CFP for the Open Sovereign Cloud Day co-located event is open until January 25 !
Amid a busy last week, my blogpost on @OpenInfra@social.openinfra.dev 's presence at #FOSDEM was finally published:
RE: @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org
This is pretty crazy...
Essential read:
An article by Mirko Boehm explaining how #OpenSource works to policy makers:
Open governance, upstream-downstream relations, horizontal coordination, and the challenges and opportunities it creates.

Great panel on EU Cloud &AI infrastructure strategy at the EU Open source Policy Summit
Time to ramp up my Mastodon presence ahead of #FOSDEM !
📣 If you will be in Brussels next week-end, please consider coming to hear my rant about single-vendor open source software Saturday at 5:30pm in UA2.114.

🇪🇺 Cyber Resilience Act: what now?
Excited to announce that next week I'll be hosting a live discussion on this topic with @allison@muon.social, @mmilinkov@mastodon.opencloud.lu from Eclipse and Ciarán O'Riordan from @OpenForumEurope@mastodon.cloud !
Mark your calendars! It's happening Thursday, Aug 24 at 14:00 UTC / 9am CT.
Permissionless innovation, powered by Open Source Software, creates a ton of value. We should defend it.
In this research paper, demand-side value of widely-used OSS is estimated at $8.8 trillion.
Firms would need to spend 3.5 times more on software than they currently do if OSS did not exist.
Also interesting: 96% of that value is created by only 5% of OSS developers.
The @lfeurope@mastodon.social response to the European Commission's Open Digital Ecosystems consultation outlines the importance of leveraging the existing open source global commons, while highlighting the role of open governance in achieving true #DigitalSovereignty .
@OpenInfra@social.openinfra.dev is fully aligned with that vision. Read more at:
RE: @linuxfoundation@social.lfx.dev
There can be no digital sovereignty without local skills. Looking at the state of tech talent in Europe is therefore critical. The report is out !
