“Europe is moving beyond traditional, state-centric models of digital sovereignty… open, shared digital infrastructures are the true catalysts for European competitiveness.” — @mcalisti.bsky.social NGI Commons Coordinator.

Hi @bert_hubert it is fun that "we" might have some leverage here, but this isn't really #TechnologicalSovereignty.
The key problem with politicians talking about sovereignty is that they think we can be sovereign if we'd have European Googles and the likes.
But until we build truely […]
Yes, I get that. Rust is more secure, the legal precedent, the gnu gpl is unwieldy and after all it's still open source. It is the end of an era though which can be sad by itself and I'm concerned any corporation can come along and rewrite code then close the source ending the #digitalcommons

I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public […]
A yellow card showing a screenshot of the map app. It also shows a text saying "What does a map mean to you?"
A yellow card featuring this quote from the interviewee explaining the project: "That's what mapping is about: not just documenting things you see, but also learning what's in an alley you always walk past, or which kinds of trees grow in your area. It makes you more mindful, makes you notice where you are, what is around, and what other people are doing."
Have you heard of OpenStreetMap?
“In a map, you can see not only roads and labels, but also culture, language, habits, history and weather reflected.

Public sector orals are high-stakes—and too often reinvented under pressure. Kudos to CivicActioner Arielle LaBrecque for creating our Orals Training Manual: a practical, repeatable framework for stronger presentations.

Highlights from FOSDEM 2026 - Brussels
🇪🇺 @fosdem.org brought devs & public tech together in Brussels. @ngicommons.bsky.social co-hosted an insightful session.

The framing that “criticism of generative AI equates to technophobia” is a massive false dichotomy. People who say that are manipulative liars.

My take: this release is a big step for #DigitalSovereignty. Designed to be THE open source platform for #autonomous digital work places. A true #DigitalCommons, open for anyone to built upon - and the result of a large community effort itself.
In the discussion about #digitalsovereignty there is an interesting cry for #BuyEuropean, but many of us doubt that that is enough. In software, you (or your organisation or country) being "sovereign" or in control does ultimately not only - or so much - depend on where the HQ of the tech […]
The German federal government currently pays €481 million in licensing fees to #Microsoft every year.
I'm sure @zendis could build some nice stuff with half the money and make it available for everybody else to re-use.

Public Domain Day — or Closing the Commons?
Works from 1954 join the commons, but the conversation is shifting from access to restriction. “Public” only means something if it applies to everyone.

Still inspired by the #DigitalCommonsPolicySummit2025 in Brussels (end of Nov). Great sessions, sharp minds, and a strong sense of momentum for digital commons.
To more exciting commons-focused events in 2026 with an incredible community. 🙏
