📢 Today, the EC and DINUM signed the EDCOM project, which will support the newly created Digital Commons legal structure jointly established by France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy. This is a €5.3 million initiative — half funded by the EU budget — that will support its first three years of operations through a range of actions aimed at strengthening European digital commons ecosystems. @dinum #opensource #digitalcommons @BMDS

→ We all depend on the same foundational layer: protocols, languages, libraries, and tools
→ This cooperative layer enables competition and fast-moving innovation
→ The ecosystem embodies democratic values: participation, transparency, accountability
→ It emerged bottom-up from developers who built the digital world we use daily

Strengthening our #digitalcommons must be a strategic priority. We can't afford to lose this foundation or allow it to be monopolized.

Adriana Groh by @sovtechfund speaking about "infrastructure is power" and why #digital commons & #opensource matters 🔥

The panel on #digitalcommons #euSummit25 is better than the others altough not free from speech about needed #deregulation by state representatives 🤨

This will be a hard fight to win states representatives to be open for our demands which demands #digitalcommons #infrastructure

"On behalf of the Open Knowledge Foundation, I welcome today’s announcement by the European Commission on the creation of the Digital Commons European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (DC-EDIC). It is a hopeful moment for Europe, where the values of thousands of communities that have worked for years in a different way of doing and governing technology, openness, cooperation and democracy, are finally listened to. This is a milestone moment, finally translating years of ideas and words into concrete action. Europe is showing that technology can be built and governed differently: openly, collaboratively, and with people at its heart.

While DC-EDIC begins as a European effort, its vision will reach far beyond the continent. It is a model built for sharing that provides digital commons open by design, scalable, and reusable, which other countries and regions can adapt to their own challenges and needs. This commons-based approach places public value above proprietary control. It offers a powerful example of how we can collectively shape the digital future as a global public good."
