Powen Shiah and Paul Sharratt are at @OpenForumEurope's EU #OpenSource Policy Summit today in Brussels 🇪🇺. They’re attending on behalf of the Sovereign Tech Agency, the first public organization of its kind focused on the long-term maintenance and security of critical software infrastructure we all rely on. This work sits at the intersection of open source, digital sovereignty, and Europe’s future digital capacity.
At the WSIS+20 meeting at the #UnitedNations, German Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation Dr. Karsten Wildberger shared in his remarks Germany's commitment to a free, open, and interoperable global Internet and why it’s important that the Sovereign Tech Agency exists: to strengthen #digitalinfrastructure that is essential for modern societies and to enable prosperity and collaboration.

Who will maintain our digital future? On 3 Dec 2025 in Berlin, we’re hosting an event for the #SovereignTechFellowship. In 2025, this program has paid maintainers of essential #opensource projects, piloting a new model for supporting #digitalinfrastructure in the #publicinterest.
Join us to meet the inaugural fellows, learn lessons from the pilot year, and discuss with our expert panel on the impact of public sector fellowships for technologists.

Joining a new instance, posting a new #introduction.
After three years in the Fediverse, including two wonderful years at https://fediscience.org/@fresseng, I’m joining the first French instance that is both dedicated to and hosted by the academic community.
Academic and physicist, I also dabble in politics.
I will be posting about #openscience #fairdata #freesoftware #foss #CoARA #researchassesment #scientificintegrity #digitalinfrastructure ... and #Fediverse
My meme dealer provided me these, thanks Beni!
