4/ There is a positive outlier: the EU #opensourcestrategy

It reflects the crucial role that free and open source software (FOSS) play for Europe’s ability to break free from Big Tech.

Its explicit recognition of independent, volunteer-, and SME-driven #FOSS communities ( 👋 @linux & @Mastodon) are a welcome signal that EU institutions are keen on leaving proprietary dependencies behind them.

Europe’s digital sovereignty starts with open source - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

Free and open source software is not a technical choice, but a strategic foundation for Europe’s resilience, competitiveness and autonomy.

1/ Today, the European Commission presented the so-called #TechSovereigntyPackage after months of delay.

👎 Despite a very welcome EU #OpenSourceStrategy, the overall package is a lost opportunity built on a corporate lobbying narrative: the legal rules created to protect our rights are considered to be a barrier to the EU’s “competitiveness” and, as such, “sovereignty.”

Today I was reminded of the practical difference at of adopting Free and #OpenSource Software compared to proprietary products at businesses. For proprietary products the vendor advertises new features and other products that might be of interest to you. In #FOSS you are more expected to do your own research to select software and start using it. So a proactive attitude and community involvement helps to execute on an #OpenSourceStrategy.
