We hit a huge milestone yesterday at the iBestuur conference 🔥 We showed the progress on #MijnBureau (opensource gov office suite) and #DAWO (Digitally Autonomous Workspace Gov).
MijnBureau is an initiative by @BZKopensource which promotes #opensource alternatives to big tech. DAWO handles underlying components, such as Linux desktops & phones. This is an #EDIC collaboration 🇪🇺
Special thanks to MP @barbarakathmann and techguru @bert_hubert for joining us via Visio. 🔥 And @bo for organizing!

Het Franse initiatief heet #LaSuite: https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/en
Hun Matrix-gebaseerde chat-dienst heet Tchap: https://tchap.numerique.gouv.fr/. De organisatie achter beide initiatieven is te volgen via @numerique_gouv.
De organisatie achter het Duitse #OpenDesk is ook te volgen op Mastodon/Fediverse: @zendis.

Vandaag kwam Corno Vromans van @SURF langs bij @Logius tijdens de #hackathon #opensource community op practice om een inspirerende presentatie te geven over hoe SURF #nextcloud gaat aanbieden bij hun leden en welke lessen zij hieruit leren.
Ook @Gina was aanwezig die aanvullingen mee gaf over #mijnbureau

"Europeans are dangerously reliant on US tech. Now is a good time to build our own" in @guardian by
@johnnyryan
This precisely it.
1. We have seen how judges and politicians have been blocked by USgov, applying the BigTech kill switch
2. So, Living in Europe is no protection against Donald Trump bricking your digital life.
3. EU continues to rely on US tech, "Young Europeans view the world through a lens distorted by Snapchat filters and YouTube algorithms. Europe’s news organisations rely on Google ad auctions."
4. Despite all this, Europe possesses a path to digital sovereignty. We have the tech. Governments are starting to migrate to sovereign and public digital infra. France w/ @numerique_gouv LaSuite, Germany with OpenDesk by @zendis & the @sovtechfund NL w/ @BZKopensource and #MijnBureau, work is done on matrix under the umbrella of the EDIC-DC....
@Tweakers @ErikJonker jazekers, check ook #MijnBureau en #DAWO. We zijn er druk mee bezig 🥳🔥

Together, we're bringing their proven email infrastructure to
#LaSuite #OpenDesk
#MijnBureau.
... It will also simplify integrations of other 3rd party applications like @xwikiorg, @zendis openDesk's Notes app and #MijnBureau's Notes app with OpenProject as they also make use of #BlockNote. Integrating task and project management becomes super easy.
Big thank you to our Communicator Team and to the team building BlockNote @yousefed, Nick Perez and Matthew Lipski
We're hosting our German #OpenDesk and French #LaSuite colleagues at the Dutch Ministry of Interior today to exchange experiences with our #MijnBureau team 🇩🇪🇫🇷
This is in preparation of the official European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC) launch tomorrow in The Hague. 🍾
The #EDIC will be a consortium of several EU member states to fund, support and build more #opensource EU alternatives together, like the sovereign workspaces replacing Microsoft.
