Was ist #Openwashing und warum unterminiert es #PublicCode und digitale Souveränität?

Im Podcast @engkiosk zeigt @johas anhand von Beispielen, welche Tricks Openwasher anwenden und wie wir alle #FreieSoftware vor solchen unangenehmen Praktiken schützen können.

Hi allemaal, we zitten er over te denken om eens per maand een inloopuur #StandaardvoorPubliekeCode in de Praktijk te doen (ik en @ejfdr samen). Wie zou dit interessant vinden en een uitnodiging willen ontvangen? Het gaat dan over het bespreken van het gebruik van de Standaard en ophalen van ideeën/wensen vanuit de praktijk. Laat maar even weten met een 🙋 of zo! #publictech #publiccode #opensource #civictech

What does the new Open Source Strategy published by the @EUCommission mean for Free Software and Europe's digital sovereignty? What steps need to follow now?

@johas was invited to #RadioStudent’s #tehnoklistir podcast to discuss the EU’s Tech Sovereignty Package, and why public code, implementation and binding rules are crucial now. (English interview from 16:50)

Die neuen EVB-IT verankern Open Source erstmals als Standardfall in Vertragsmustern für die Verwaltung, inklusive SBOM-Pflicht für mehr Transparenz. Der Haken: proprietäre Lösungen bleiben explizit gleichberechtigt zulässig. Rechtssicherheit ist ein echter Fortschritt. Ob daraus mehr OSS-Beschaffung wird, entscheidet sich in der Vergabepraxis, nicht im Vertragsmuster. #OpenSource #EVBIT #Verwaltungsdigitalisierung #PublicCode #Vergabe #Deutschland #Digitalisierung

Evropska Komisija je v svojo Strategijo Odprte kode vključila tudi načelo Javni denar, javna koda!, o keterem sva poročala v #tehnoklistir z istoimenskim prevodom: https://radiostudent.si/druzba/tehno-klistir/javni-denar-javna-koda 📻 👂 🎧 #odprtakoda

Ta strategija bo tudi tema naslednjega tehno klistirja, ki bo na sporedu v četrtek, 18. junija, in za nas jo bo komentiral Johannes Näder.

Spletno stran kampanje #PublicCode smo takrat tudi prevedli v slovenščino.

We got the green light to intervene against Apple before the European Court of Justice for the 2nd time (!) while the @EUCommission included the “Public Money? Public Code!” principle in its Technological Sovereignty Package.

Stay tuned! A new European consortium will be launching soon, and we are part of it!

The @EUCommission released the new Technological Sovereignty Package.

This could mark a milestone for #FreeSoftware in Europe: it explicitly recognises our “Public Money? Public Code!” principle and introduces a Free Software first principle for public cloud and AI procurement.

But strategy alone is not enough! We need binding rules, long-term funding, and meaningful civil society involvement.

Want to get your project into the European Open Source Catalogue? You'll need a publiccode.yml file first. 🇪🇺

We teamed up with our Dutch peers to help build an AI utility that generates it for you automatically. Check out the repo: 👇

We call our representatives to support #FreeSoftware in public administrations because:
🔸We need software that fosters the sharing of good ideas & solutions
🔹We need software that guarantees freedom of choice, access, & competition
🔸We need software that helps public administrations regain full control of their critical digital infrastructure

#Free Software allows public administrations to become digitally sovereign!

NHS England made its public code repositories private by default, despite warnings from the #FreeSoftware community, including the @fsfe

UK Digital Service has now published guidance making clear that hiding publicly funded code reduces scrutiny, reuse, and trust.

#NHS should reverse course and implement "Public Money? Public Code!”. Others must not copy this mistake.

It is the second Friday of the month! 🤫

So 😀 Hello, hello turn your #SoftwareFreedom Podcast on!

The SFP is back with the 51st episode and it is all about #PMPC: because if it is public money, it should be #publiccode!

@annabonnie is talking with @johas and the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) about X-Road and the challenges ahead for adopting #FreeSoftware in public administration.

An amazing event organized by the local @lug_augsburg.

Especially grateful to have been asked to present the @fsfe's "Public Money? Public Code!" initiative today.
