What does digital independence look like for a #university?

At the University of #Groningen, this conversation has been growing bottom-up: academic & professional support staff are driving a move away from #BigTech toward shared, #open alternatives.

With support from the Uni Board, this effort is shaping a community-driven 5-year roadmap towards #DigitalAutonomy by 2030.

Newspaper Ukrant covered the shift.

@babetteknauer This is a great news. Looks like the EU is finally taking notes. I only hope people will finally recognize potential of already existing open standards and projects instead reinventing the wheel and burning money away. Though reading on today’s news about the new social network W I would not hold my breath.
