Why “public AI”, built on open source software, is the way forward for the EU

A quarter of a century ago, I wrote a book called “Rebel Code”. It was the first – and is still the only – detailed history of the origins and rise of free software and open source, based on interviews with the gifted and generous hackers who took part. Back then, it was clear that open source represented a powerful alternative to the traditional proprietary approach to software […]

State of the “Open” AI • All Things Open 2025

The AI boom, driven by unprecedented investment and access to tools, has spawned a flood of models claiming to be “open.” The October 2024 release of the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) sought to anchor the term in clear, unambiguous standards.

Petition to #OpenSourceInitiative to publish 2025 Board #election results.

Ah yes, the brave keyboard warriors are at it again, demanding the Open Source Initiative release its 2025 election results for all to see. 🙄 Because clearly, the fate of human civilization hinges on the #transparency of a niche tech board election. 🔍 Spoiler alert: 98% of the population still doesn't know what a pull request is. 😂
