Flash update: Opening of the United Nations #opensourceweek2025 hackathon

✅ #UN has a #Gitlab server at https://opensource.unicc.org that could build #EU_OS (or #UN_OS) 😁
❌ Everyone must use #discord. Why not opensource such as #Matrix?

Today, EU OS is not in the scope of the event.

#EuroStack #GovStack

Project lead @rriemann will attend the United Nations Open Source Week in the UN headquarters (New York) next week to represent #EU_OS. Follow us on social media to receive updates from the event. The goal is to raise awareness about EU OS amongst government officials and the open source community.

Agenda: https://www.un.org/digital-emerging-technologies/content/open-source-week-2025

The 19 June event (Thursday) on digital public infrastructure will be streamed!

#DigitalSovereignty #OpenSourceWeek2025

Had a great time at HackDays Paris 2025, a hackathon hosted by the French government’s DINUM, the digital directorate of the French government.

We focused on ‘Aurora,’ a prototype web and desktop Matrix client built on the high-performance matrix-rust-sdk using the new Filament WASM bindings.

Bikes welcome on board! 🚆🚲

Combining cycling and train travel is now much easier in the EU.

As of today, all new and upgraded trains will have dedicated spaces for all bikes – not just foldables.

Sustainable, flexible travel is the future.
