Der Bericht, den @netzpolitik_feed gerade veröffentlicht, zeigt: #Finanzierung ist die große Baustelle für #OpenSource–aber Verwaltungen müssen ohnehin investieren: Windows 10 läuft aus, Produkte werden wegen KI künstlich teurer! Die öffentliche Mittelvergabe ist der erste Hebel, den #Europa stellen kann für einen souveränen Technologie-#Stack! Aber auch die Privatwirtschaft muss sich fragen, ob sie weiter in Abhängigkeiten investieren will.

Ein internes Papier gibt Hinweise auf die EU-Politik für Open Source in den kommenden Jahren. Ein schon etabliertes Förderprogramm soll unter einem neuen Namen weiterlaufen, mit Fokus auf Kommerzialisierung. Die Kommission soll sich auch für mehr Open Source in der Verwaltung einsetzen – und über eine eigene Rechtsform nachdenken. Viele Fragen bleiben offen. https://netzpolitik.org/2025/open-internet-stack-die-vagen-open-source-plaene-der-eu-kommission/

The 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/
