Tomorrow in The Hague, EU Member States launch a new international organisation, one that invests in and cares for #DigitalCommons and open source. The EDIC for Digital Commons is a long term commitment and strategy to help governments transition to open source, work with the communities and strengthen the ecosystem. Much needed.

I am happy to announce that the Cooperative Development Guidelines have now a new home with the Vojkruco collective. [1]
It was always the plan to develop the Guidelines collectively and now that should be reflected under Vojkruco. Any community, collective, organization, project and individual is welcome to join our chat [2] and participate in discussions.

The economic and environmental sustainability of digital commons.
Lessions from the 2023 Debian project survey.
I spoke on a panel at #DigitalCommonsPolicySummit2025 about how free software commons projects like F-Droid sustain themselves organized by the #EuropeanCommission and @NGICommons

Nothing in Commons: the end of digital collective ownership?
I'm sharing a new text where I try to summarize some older thoughts that have been slowly fermenting in the past years regarding the dead-end in which the digital commons have landed. I discuss the discomfort of their growing ambivalence, and the incredible difficulty, but urgency to move forward beyond this concept and rethink collective objectives in relation to digital tools and practices.
It is the follow-up of a copyleft/copyright/copywhat licensing workshop I gave at https://spookstad.boo. Amsterdam Alternative asked me to contribute an essay on the digital commons based on some of the topics discussed in the workshop for their web docu on collective ownership.
The text is also available in Dutch, thanks to a translation by Menno Grootveld from Starfish Books.

On the ground in Brussels 🇧🇪
After the Summit on European #DigitalSovereignty in Berlin last Tuesday, today there’s the Digital Commons Policy Summit hosted by @NGICommons
Maintaining #DigitalCommons as shared public infrastructure is not just about proving their value, it’s about scaling them effectively to advance European digital sovereignty.
