Official welcome speeches, now, at #LuxembourgIntenetDays

First, the chairman of the local exchange point https://www.lu-cix.lu/ insisting on the role of "open source" [sic] software in sovereignty (example of Matrix, which is not software, by the way, but a protocol).

Then, a remote video from European commission '"Europe has three million open source developers", it seems a lot, I'm not sure I heard correctly). "We need more AI.'

@bortzmeyer I would be very interested to learn how they get to the number 3M and what they qualify as an open source developer in that context

@bagder Yes, I was very surprised, too. May be a misunderstanding from me.

Welcome talk by the Chamber of Commerce at #LuxembourgInternetDays.

I learn about the Luxembourg super AI computer, #Meluxina.

(I'm a bit worried when people ask for more AI in the name of cybersecurity...)

Alain Courson, an insurance broker, on cybersecurity insurance at #LuxembourgInternetDays : "many companies are underinsured"

I know next to nothing about financial issues in cybersecurity so it is interesting.

What is *excluded* from insurance claims: gross negligence,failure to maintain security hygiene, missing backups... (It seems to me it will exclude most organisations.)
