EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!

Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.

NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:

The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:

  • a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
  • a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.

: As has been documented recently, there is a strong increase of influence campaigns into the spheres: yes, our communities are now big enough to attract the attention of State and State-adjacent Actors.

PLEASE be cautious. If you see something which makes you sad, or angry, please do not engage until you understand why you feel emotional - you may be being manipulated into stronger reactions.
