"This approach shows once again that it’s better to take an open source solution that is 80% complete and add the remaining 20%, than risking vendor lock-in with an expensive big tech solution." https://ginaplat.com/en/posts/20260801-national-codeplatform-updates/

🔓 European #HigherEd has never been more open – but the opens (#OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenEducation, #OpenInfrastructure) rarely connect.
Our #ConnectingTheOpens Leadership series shows how universities are bridging them – and how more institutions can do the same. Perfect summer reading 👉️ https://sparceurope.org/what-we-do/connecting-the-opens/ -

We addressed this question in the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary recommendations (2022).
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/We recommended open and decentralized infrastructure for #OpenAccess and #OpenScience. But what if the best infrastructure for a given purpose at a given time is not open or not decentralized? See recommendations 1.5 and 1.6.
From 1.5: "If the open alternatives are inadequate, that could be a good short-term reason to choose closed infrastructure. At the same time, it’s a good long-term reason to improve the open alternatives. If we can’t have first-rate open infrastructure today, for a given purpose, we should take steps to have it tomorrow."

"How many times must one do something to make it a tradition? If two data points are enough, join Dr Suze Kundu for the now TRADITIONAL closing keynote at PIDFest 2026!
Following on from her closing session at the last PIDFest in Prague, where she romped through a whirlwind review of several packed days of discussion before somehow convincing nearly 300 people to scream the word “Bridgerton!” in unison, Suze returns with another joyful retrospective of the festival’s biggest moments, boldest ideas, accidental themes, infrastructure in-jokes, and perhaps a few slightly unhinged observations from the front row.
Expect highlights, hindsight, hilarity, and heartwarming reminders of why communities like this matter so much.
From metadata to memes, governance to global collaboration, this closing keynote will celebrate the people, conversations, and connections that keep knowledge connected.
Come for the recap. Stay because statistically speaking, audience participation is now also a tradition. And you can't go against data."

"Rescued data has to be collected, and then it has to go somewhere; it has to be validated, described, made findable, and kept accessible."
The systems that do that work are either assumed to exist… or invisible in the funding picture entirely.

"Reliance on proprietary AI platforms can create long-term operational dependencies. As systems become less interoperable, organizations may be forced to standardize on a single stack across data pipelines, models, and decision logic, says the Linux Foundation’s Collier.
“As infrastructure consolidates, enterprises become more exposed when platforms change direction, raise prices, or fall behind technically,” he says. “If you can’t change platforms without re-architecting your AI systems, you’ve already given up too much control.”
“When you build on someone else’s platform, you have to live by their rules and those rules always change,” adds WordPress VIP’s Alvey. “We’ve all seen this before, businesses wasting time and money building to serve Google, Facebook, YouTube, and the App Store, instead of building to serve their customers.”
Platform lock-in can also create direct business risk. As Ainekko’s Shaposhnik says, “It usually shows up as higher costs, fragile systems, and growing risk when it’s time to change direction.”"

🤔 Ah yes, the "European Social Stack," where Europeans dream of overthrowing Big Tech with open declarations and #kumbaya hand-holding. Because nothing says "revolution" like a bunch of bureaucrats drafting manifestos. 😂 Apparently, a "diverse and resilient information infrastructure" is just around the corner... if only they could stop tripping over their own red tape. 🏗️📜

WHERE OTHERS LOSE CONTROL – WE STAY IN THE LOOP.
At Infinito.Nexus, we believe that AI should never replace human judgment. We are the captains. AI is our navigator. While others hand over responsibility to black-box systems, we stay in control. We design the architecture, review the code, verify every deployment, and make the decisions that shape the future of the systems we build. AI is one of the most powerful tools ever created. But it remains a tool. We are the engineers, architects, and craftsmen who use it to build sovereign digital infrastructure faster, more reliably, and at a scale that was impossible only a few years ago.
