Quite the gap between theory and practice: while German federal states, armed forces and French gendarmerie rely on #OpenSource because they have understood that #digitalSovereignty is only achievable with open technology, the closing declaration for tomorrow‘s #DigitalSummit treats OS like a hobby. 1/4

”Open-source solutions can play an important role enhancing digital sovereignty…“ - they are the main act. Proprietary technology is easily merged and acquired by players that do not adhere to promises of sovereignty and independence. 2/4
”…provided they meet high cybersecurity standards…“: andersherum wird ein Schuh draus: cybersecurity is achievable only with independently auditable technology, and the CRA has learned from #OpenSource in requiring disclosure and submission of fixed of bugs to upstream providers. 3/4
And, of course, my favourite: ”…and are complemented by reliable proprietary technologies where appropriate.“ – the same proprietary technology relies to 90% on the enterprise-grade quality, de-facto standard that is #OpenSource. @BMDS, your declaration needs fixing.
