If you take just one thing away from #FOSDEM this is it.

“If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away”

or putting it another way:

If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.

@amirbkhan Big tech, closed-source American tech with big moats, is perhaps the biggest threat to the freedoms currently enjoyed in most of Europe. It has corroded the best founding principles of America, and it knows no bounds. Unless checked, it will grow at all costs. All.
Open source, decentralized, federated, no vendor lock-in, etc, etc, are the ways to go.
