The @EUCommission has launched a call for evidence on the subject of Open Source, under the title European Open Digital Ecosystems
There is a PDF there that has a lot of verbiage, but is important on defining the type of information they are actually after. They want broad areas of policy they can define. But the current comments on the site seem to be incredibly specific courses of action (e.g. move to libreoffice) or just plain rants (e.g. Europe will never manage to do this as it’s too complicated).
There’s someone on the pulse leading this, as I notice that the closing date for this consultation is a couple of days after FOSDEM—which is the end of European Open Source Week—all happening in Brussels, where the commission is. #FOSDEM itself has a number of tracks that will be of interest, including Public Infrastructure and Policy discussions.
So I’m hopeful something useful will arise here…

🚨 Why XWiki supports an EU Sovereign Tech Fund
@OpenForum Europe has led the charge, calling for an EU Sovereign Tech Fund, and for the EU to invest a minimum of €350M to secure Europe's digital infrastructure.
When open-source infrastructure is underfunded, security suffers, supply chains weaken, and vendor lock-in become harder to escape.
