Sebastian RaibleThe paper just published by @netzpolitik_feed shows: financing is a major issue for #OpenSource, but administrations need to invest anyways: Windows 10 is at end of life this year and contracts become artificially more expensive because of AI features – public procurement is the primary lever for #Europe’s sovereign tech #stack! #techsovereignty

The EU has been heavily involved in #opensource for years – but planned changes to the flagship funding programme are ruffling some feathers, especially because they have remained vague for months. @netzpolitik_feed@chaos.social is publishing an internal document that at least gives a few hints to where the journey might be going, especially in terms of money. Also being debated: Changes to procurement and a new legal form for open source organisations. #ngi #ngiforum25 #eu https://netzpolitik.org/2025/open-internet-stack-the-eu-commissions-vague-plans-for-open-source/
