Attending the #eurosky event in Berlin today. Given that the role of decentralized social media as a critical piece of #DigitalSovereignty was strikingly absent at the #Digitalgipfel yesterday, I do hope more conversations like these will break through the political bubble. And soon.
Jutta Horstman CEO of @heinleinsupport speaking at #euroskylive in #Berlin about bridging #digitalsovereignty & the #openweb.
Her view on #eusummit25 ? Severe lack of strategy and #buyeuropean is not enough.
We need #opensource #alternatives.
Jutta @smphr calls #openprocols like #Activitypub & #ATproto to allign and join forces.

“Open source has proven itself to be a winning strategy—not recently, but for decades.”
At today's #EUSummit on #DigitalSovereignty, Sovereign Tech Agency CEO Adriana Groh spoke on “The Power of Digital Commons: Building Europe's Shared Digital Future” alongside government officials and leaders from France, Germany, the Netherlands, & Austria.
Her message: Europe's digital future depends on strengthening the shared infrastructure we already rely on.

“Open source has proven itself to be a winning strategy — not recently, but for decades.” — Adriana Groh, Sovereign Tech Agency CEO.
Quite the gap between theory and practice: while German federal states, armed forces and French gendarmerie rely on #OpenSource because they have understood that #digitalSovereignty is only achievable with open technology, the closing declaration for tomorrow‘s #DigitalSummit treats OS like a hobby. 1/4
If you want to know in short-read format what happened at today's Franco-German #DigitalSummit on #DigitalSovereignty, and how much #AI #hyperscaler #innovation BS there was including from #Macron and #Merz themselves, read this excellent thread by @j2bryson :

The panel "The Power of Digital Commons: Building Europe's Shared Digital Future" talks about EU collaboration on open source alternatives 🤝
Our Dutch gov CIO Art de Blaauw talks about the EDIC, in which EU countries work together on sovereign workspace software such as La Suite, OpenDesk and MijnBureau. The official EDIC launch will be in The Hague on December 11th. 🇪🇺

Here we go #digitalsovereignty
I tuned into the "Summit on European Digital Sovereignty" stream hoping to listen about #DigitalSovereignty and all I got was a morning on how we for some reason to have more #AI, better #AI, (less regulation so we can have) faster #AI, and #AI everywhere.
Somehow, I'm not convinced. Perhaps I will in the afternoon, when they hopefully actually talk about digital sovereignty...
I really liked the message from @C__CS (Dr. Corinne Cath), from Article 19. Paraphrased:
"Open source solutions without infrastructure is a democratic illusion. Right now there's a massive outage at Cloudflare, which means that many website are inaccessible. Last month there have been other outages with similar impact. This is a democratic crisis dressed up as a technical failure."
I believe it was Adriana Groh, Managing Director, Sovereign Tech Agency
who just said
"this [independent, multi provider, open source software?] is the mission of the sovereign tech agency...infrastructure is power "
Corinne Cath, Digital Policy and Infrastructure Governance Expert @article19
The attacks on infrastructure are attacks on democracy disguised as glitches. These were timed to interfere with Danish elections.
