Doing what I can to help folks coming to #DrupalConChicago. Making whistle kits ti distribute at registration. A simple pack of a whistle, a “know your rights” card, an some “be loud” info. Hoping to help keep people safe, and teach them about community in #Chicago.

Sovereign Tech Agency Jul 7, 2025

Three weeks ago, we kicked off the first-ever #Maintainathon at the United Nations, and memories are beginning to settle in.

Together with this group of highly experienced open source maintainers, we created a special moment at #UNOpenSourceWeek.

Their hands-on expertise shaped the conversations and brought real-world insight into building open digital infrastructure — work done by few, but essential to all of us.

Sovereign Tech Agency Jul 1, 2025

In June, the Sovereign Tech Agency took part in UN Open Source Week in New York. We convened a delegation of open source experts to bring hands-on experience into the global conversations around digital cooperation and public infrastructure. Across multiple sessions, we highlighted the essential role of open technologies and the responsibility that institutions share for supporting them.

Explore what we shared and learned at #UNOpenSourceWeek in our latest blog post:

We shared what we've put together so far: https://devcollaborative.com/blog/protecting-nonprofit-websites-hostile-government

And obviously, If you use a CMS for your site, it's best to stick to open source right now more than ever

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.
