"The safety guarantee of European digital infrastructure is not that it’s European but that it’s democratic.

European digital infrastructure is presumed to be safer not because of its location, but because of the democratic governance that controls the legal environment in which it operates. The assumption of stable democratic governance is precisely what an authoritarian wave now moving across Europe is putting in doubt."

Yesterday I attended the first Democratic Tech Alliance (DTA) Assembly over at the European Parliament. The DTA is a political/think tank/civil society/industry initiative that hopes to foster a tech-ecosystem on which we can continue to run our European democracies. Because it is not looking good. Useful progress was made, and here is what I learned: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/democratic-tech-alliance-may-2026/

The First Democratic Tech Alliance Assembly - Bert Hubert's writings

Yesterday I attended the first assembly of the Democratic Tech Alliance (DTA), which gathered in the European Parliament. Membership of the alliance includes European political groups like the Greens/EFA, the liberal/center right Renew Europe, the European People’s Party of Christian democratic, conservative and liberal-conservative persuasion and also the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. This is a broad, quite sane and actually impressive collection of political groups, which gives me some hope.

Купувачите на гласове нямат по-голям съюзник от бездействащата прокуратура.

Но нямат и по-силен противник от масовото гражданско участие.

На 19 април - гласувайте. Да обезсмислим порочната система!

JMAP is a newer HTTP and JSON protocol that replaces IMAP, SMTP for sending as well as contact and calendar syncing.

This 20 min “Destroy All Monsters” talk on it by @rjbs from @fastmail is both imformative and entertaining.

With my #FOSDEM, #ConfConf, and many other hats on:

We will be organizing another https://ConfConf.org ! An (un)conference about organizing conferences.

6th and 7th of June in #Sofia, #Bulgaria

Same as last year, we will be focusing on #OpenSource and #Community conferences. We will either remain invite -only or closely review all registrations to make sure it's community people.
