Merci à Sting et The Police pour la chanson So lonely que j'ai reprise ce matin à #ow2con pour introduire ma conférence sur la souveraineté dans l'IAM !

A great first day at #OW2con2026 in Paris!

OpenProject's @RosannaSibora, @wielinde, and Christophe Bliard joined the open source community for insightful discussions on this year's theme: Open Source and Open Models to Drive European Sovereignty.

It was inspiring to exchange ideas on how openness, transparency, and collaboration can strengthen Europe's digital future.

This week our @openproject team is attending the @ow2 #ow2con in Paris. If you would like to chat with us, feel free to approach us.

It’s great to exchange with the community to gather new insights on their needs, use cases and pains.

We also discuss a lot the topic of leading change within organisations and guiding users on the journey from closed source to open source.

The filter is gone
The friction that maintained contribution quality for 30+ years has been removed. We need intentional replacement, not nostalgia.

This is not about Al
It's about context, intent, and relationship. The projects getting this right aren't banning tools.
They're redesigning the social contract.

We don't need more code
Wo need more care
Layers 3, 4, and 5 of the contribution stack, context, intent, relationship are human layers. They cannot be automated. Only cultivated.

"Writing code has become effortless; reading and verifying code remains profoundly difficult. Open source is straining under this asymmetry." - Philippe Ensarguet

#OW2con

Philippe Ensarguet on AI slop and open source:

The beautiful lie....
The open source model is built on a beautiful lie: code is the contribution
It never was
The code was a proxy, for understanding, for investment, for belonging The friction was the filter

Hello from OW2con 💜

Today, Richard Brock will be sharing how Collabora Office helps organisations stay in control of their documents while enabling collaborative workflows across desktop and browser environments.

If you're attending OW2con (@ow2), stop by and say hi!

📍 Main Stage
🕒 12:10–12:30

#OW2con #OpenSource #CollaboraOffice

All in all, I'm carefully positive, but the devil is, as usual, in the details.
Commission Vice-President @HennaVirkkunen will join the European Parliament’s ITRE committee for a hearing about the proposal tomorrow afternoon (expect from ~16:00), streaming here:

🧵fin #ow2con

🟠 Chips Act 2.0: can it really stimulate demand?
It remains to be seen if the Commission is ambitious enough and whether Europe can indeed create chip fabs that can keep up with international competition – this demand is also needed to finance some of the proposed measures.
🧵5/6 #ow2con

🔵 Cloud and AI Development Act's "open source-first principle": will there be exceptions?
There seems to be some discretion given to the Member States, and the principle might not go beyond an Open Source preference, which is something we had before.
🧵4/6 #ow2con

🟠 Critical infrastructure, sectors, and data only?
The Commission uses the term "critical" a lot, and while this is generally understandable, the question remains if certain measures and obligations will only be mandatory for critical infrastructure, in critical sectors, and for certain categories of sensitive data.
🧵3/6 #ow2con

The Commission understands that #OpenSource is an important lever to achieve more technological or #digitalSovereignty. And while I see the overall text quite positively, we will have to watch out for some elements in the published final version tomorrow:
🧵2/6 #ow2con

When I submitted my proposal for an @apell EU Policy Update to #OW2con in February, the @EUCommission’s #TechSovereignty Package was expected to be published at the end of March. Things changed, so today, I presented my takeaway of the draft documents that we saw leaked last week.
🧵1/6 #ow2con

#ow2con is starting. Thanks to @ow2 for organising the conference and enable #FreeSoftware #OpenSource from different organisations and companies to meet and discuss #softwarefreedom in beautiful Paris.
