Ich habe festgestellt, dass moderne Diagnostik, KI und Lieferketten viel enger miteinander verbunden sind, als ich dachte.

Wenn über KI gesprochen wird, reden viele über Modelle. Aber irgendwo dazwischen stehen Fabriken, Stromnetze, Logistik und Menschen. Und erstaunlich oft führt diese Spur irgendwann nach Taiwan.

Maps are infrastructure too.

At a recent Internet Archive Europe workshop, we explored how OpenStreetMap and MapLibre are building open, community-governed alternatives to proprietary mapping platforms.

Who decides what stays visible, preserved, and accessible?

Maps Are Infrastructure Too - Internet Archive Europe

Not all infrastructure looks like a server room. Some of it looks like a map. On 19 May, Internet Archive Europe hosted a workshop at our Amsterdam space with Bart Louwers, one of the core maintainers of MapLibre, and Tommi Marmo, OpenStreetMap contributor. The conversation moved between the technical and the political in a way

There's still no point in gigabit broadband

Six years ago, I nearly got my ISP to upgrade our fibre connection to 1Gbps. As I said at the time: This is a curmudgeonly post which is going to look ridiculously outdated in a few years. What's the point of Gigabit broadband? Well, it's a few years later and Virgin Media have just given me their Gig1 package for £30 per month. Nice! With all the inflation related price rises, it's great to …

The #OpenSource Maintenance Instrument addresses a structural gap that has defined our work from the beginning: critical open source infrastructure creates public value, yet is often underfunded and institutionally fragile.

The strategy also calls for coordinating shared open #DigitalInfrastructure across Member States through the #DigitalCommons #EDIC. This work is already underway. The Sovereign Tech Agency has helped shape the #DCEDIC from day one... 2/

The EU #TechSovereigntyPackage marks a decisive moment for Europe’s digital policy and for #OpenSource and the #DigitalCommons in particular.

The most important signal for the #SovereignTechAgency: the focus on maintenance and long-term sustainability. Open source already contributes to Europe’s #DigitalSovereignty; the components critical for public services, industry, and #DigitalInfrastructure must be reliably maintained, resourced, and governed over time. 1/

Africa: Beyond Connectivity - Financing Africa's Digital Infrastructure Platforms: [Ghanaian Times] An 86-year-old woman misplaces her phone and spends a week offline. She loses access to calls and messages, as well as contact with her family and the routines she has built over time. When connectivity is restored, her connection to daily life returns with it. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TStCxJ #DigitalAfrica #Connectivity #Financing #Telecommunication #DigitalInfrastructure
Tech sovereignty is about chips, cloud, AI, data spaces, open source, and digital infrastructure. The EU’s new strategy signals a growing recognition that competitiveness, resilience, and technological autonomy are deeply interconnected. 🇪🇺👍 #TechSovereignty #AI #DigitalInfrastructure

Strengthening Europe’s Tech Sovereignty

Tech sovereignty is Europe’s ability to act independently in the digital world by developing and controlling key technologies, data, and infrastructure, while reducing reliance on non-EU providers.
