Proud to be recognised as a Digital Public Good by the UN-endorsed @dpgalliance

Element - and by extension @matrix the decentralised open standard it's built on - has been designated as a DPG because we deliver genuine digital sovereignty and no vendor lock-in.

Our foundational Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) components, and our Element Server Suite Community distribution provides a complete open source stack as a free, unencumbered public tool.

We're pleased that Element (and @matrix by extension, the open standard it's built on) has been recognised as a true digital public good by @dpgalliance. A huge thanks for the validation and certification 🙏

The DPG Standard verifies that open source projects respect privacy, do no harm, and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We hope this encourages more governments to support and invest in the technology they depend on.

Liv Marte Nordhaug spricht über Digital Public Goods bzw Infrastructure:

> Open Source und Open Standards ist Konsensus

> Kriterien für DPGs: Advance the SDGs, Open Source, Do No Harm
> Achtung: Gefahr von Open-Washing (speziell im Kontext von AI häufig anzutreffen)

> Die DPGAlliance führt ein Verzeichnis mit Verifizierten DPGs.

> Der Impact von DPI ist digital, sozial sowie wirtschaftlich.

> Mit Abhängigkeiten zu proprietärer Software ist es unmöglich im Voraus zu wissen oder abzuschätzen, wie aufwendig eine Migration sein wird.
