You can read the #OSI's feedback here; We'll be sharing a blog post with you later this week that summarises it!

We endorse the United Nations Open Source Principles as a practical framework for how public institutions can build digital systems that are resilient, accountable, and accessible.

When done well, open source supports cross-border collaboration, reduces vendor lock-in, and keeps public digital infrastructure aligned with the public good.

Who else is in #Brussels this weekend for #fosdem / #EUOpenSourceWeek?

Excited to discuss and learn more about best practices on funding/enabling socio-technical research around open source projects, on European digital sovereignty, on decentralised governance and DAOs, 🇧🇪 🍺, and so much more!

My 1st talk for #EUOpenSourceWeek is done. Great to present on #a11y #WAD & #EAA at the #Drupal4Gov

I'm enjoying the great talks. Recurring focus on #procurement & drive to #DigitalSovereignty

Looking forward to #FOSDEM on the weekend.

Photo isn't me.

📡 We’re spending the week in Brussels, with @NGICommons present day by day.

 Listening, sharing, and connecting around open source, public digital infrastructure, and the future of the digital commons in Europe. These spaces matter. Because collaboration, is how sustainable digital ecosystems grow.
