Europe is moving from slogans to strategy on #DigitalSovereignty, with #opensource increasingly at the core of technological autonomy.
This #FOSDEM session on global collaboration and Europe’s digital #sovereignty goals explores how participation in global open source communities can strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/DNUTXJ-eu-global-digital-sovereignty/

FOSDEM 2026 - The first day is over and I summarized the day...
Like always, I'm attending only the first day which mean the day begins very early in the morning. This year, #Sovereignty was clearly one of the most important topics, but I also had some great talks at the #Proxmox stand, with the guys at Vates ( #XCPng) and of course at the #FreeBSD and #illumos stand. Sadly, they were in the very last corner of the floor hall in building H. Hope they still got enough attention there!
You can find my notes about the first day in my blog post at: https://gyptazy.com/blog/fosdem-2026-opensource-conference-brussels/

Self-recommending if you’re interested in software #sovereignty .
I didn’t realise just how US centric all of package management was until I made these tables 😅

Top #House #Democrat probes #oil firms over #Venezuela
#MarcoRubio described the latter as “an account that belongs to Venezuela, but it has US sanctions as a blocking mechanism.” He privately told lawmakers earlier this month that officials want to prevent Venezuela’s creditors from tapping into the cash.

The European Union should start working on a European Payment Network that would provide Europeans and the rest of the world with an alternative to Mastercard and Visa.
A single common payment system for accepting online and offline payments, accepted in all stores and on all platforms.
Although there are many different payment systems, the problem is that there is no single system that is widely used throughout the EU.
The EU has SEPA. With the European Payment Network, it would have a complete network that would significantly strengthen its sovereignty.

WTF?
#Venezuela #oil proceeds are going into a private account in #Qatar that #US #Treasury cannot block. This can’t be legal.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.!'"
