I will try to be there in Paris on July 1st. 🔥 If you have any questions, the #EuroCommons people can easily be reached through their website.
Also this is a separate initiative from the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium ( #EDIC ) Digital Commons, which is the EU government equivalent of this, basically. The two work together.

El impacto del uso de código abierto en las AAPP de la UE para construir servicios digitales soberanos interoperables
El Paquete de Soberanía Tecnológica Europea recientemente propuesto por la Comisión muestra cómo el código abierto puede respaldar la soberanía tecnológica y ayudar a crear servicios digitales más transparentes, seguros, reutilizables e interoperables.

The #OpenSource Maintenance Instrument addresses a structural gap that has defined our work from the beginning: critical open source infrastructure creates public value, yet is often underfunded and institutionally fragile.
The strategy also calls for coordinating shared open #DigitalInfrastructure across Member States through the #DigitalCommons #EDIC. This work is already underway. The Sovereign Tech Agency has helped shape the #DCEDIC from day one... 2/

> external telephony with caller ID, effortless video conferencing with external parties, native apps, and limitations arising from OpenDesk being browser-based. Furthermore, low-code automations are missing.
All of those sound like valid points.
Now if only #EU would recognise the importance of sovereign workspace and steer some resources towards implementation of these features.

The #DigitalCommons #EDIC is building its team. Four roles are now open in Paris:
- Operations Manager
- Programme & Technical Manager
- Ecosystem and Partnerships Manager
- Office, Events & Communications Coordinator→ https://digital-commons-edic.eu/careers/

@fedops @ParadeGrotesque I hadn't heard about the French gov mandating Linux workstations for all their Ministries, that's great news!
The Dutch, French and German workspace teams were already working together on a Linux OS within the EDIC's 100 day challenges, but I don't think a choice for a distro has been made yet. 🇪🇺
I'm super impressed with how proactive the French are. Good work @numerique_gouv 👏

We hit a huge milestone yesterday at the iBestuur conference 🔥 We showed the progress on #MijnBureau (opensource gov office suite) and #DAWO (Digitally Autonomous Workspace Gov).
MijnBureau is an initiative by @BZKopensource which promotes #opensource alternatives to big tech. DAWO handles underlying components, such as Linux desktops & phones. This is an #EDIC collaboration 🇪🇺
Special thanks to MP @barbarakathmann and techguru @bert_hubert for joining us via Visio. 🔥 And @bo for organizing!

In the context of the #DigitalCoup Denmark is working towards #DigitalSovereignty.
See report: therecord.media/denmark-digital-agency-microsoft-digital-independence
Interestingly, they have a Minister for Digitalisation. They start with LibreOffice, "with a full transition to open-source software by the end of the year."
Motivations are (licensing) costs and political tensions, to protect data and reduce reliance on foreign tech.
Of course MS can waive the upcoming licensing costs, and they might return to US tech dependency. But many governments are now making similar, or more audacious transitions.
I wonder why the Danes didn't yet join the EDIC for Digital Commons? There's important shared investments being made, e.g. in collaborative workspaces...

So cool to see @lea_bei (@zendis ), Emma Ghariani (@numerique_gouv ) and Aditya Singh (@openfuture ) give a great talk about the governance structure of the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC) 🇪🇺
The EDIC is the place where EU member states work together on Digital Commons, such as the opensource workspaces LaSuite 🇲🇫, OpenDesk 🇩🇪, and MijnBureau 🇳🇱.

RE: https://eupolicy.social/@bert_hubert/115717420055508429
Simple, direct, and inescapably, uncomfortably true.
Relying on software and web services from a country that increasingly views you as an enemy...
Darwinian.
Turkeys... Chrismas. (let's be festive)
This post on digital commons and digital sovereignty by @bert_hubert is required reading for policymakers.
