The European Commission on Wednesday gave the go-ahead for a group of four countries to establish a common organisation for building #opensource alternatives to much-used software.

France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands will work to develop open, European alternatives in “key areas” such as AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and – curiously – social networks.

#Tainacan: With nearly 2,000 active installations and over 50,000 downloads, the project has moved beyond "Beta." Having been tested by thousands, Tainacan version 1.0.0 is now launched, marking the completion of the initial roadmap. The primary goal of providing a #freesoftware solution for managing #digitalcollections and cultural objects in Brazilian institutions has been achieved, paving the way for broader applications.
#Museums of the Fediverse, give it a try!

I took a bye last month on account of it being the busiest week of my life, but I'm back with two #50forFOSS donations this month to make up for it. It's a double feature!

Psst...#50forFOSS is a monthly community pledge. If you want to join in, just pick a free/open-source project you appreciate and send 'em some cash. $50 is suggested, but any amount is great.

Our democratic public sphere needs open networks!

Together with @offene_netzwerke we demand that public money be invested into Free Software and in open, decentralised infrastructures.

There's lots of talk about "digital sovereignty" – but what does that exactly mean? Well, avoiding vendor lock-in and economic dependency for starters. Learn how the Open Document Format (ODF) helps here: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/11/14/the-role-of-odf-in-digital-sovereignty-freedom/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware #openstandards

An opinion piece I wrote on why you should move away from GitHub to something like Forgejo (try Codeberg if you want something hosted for you) for development. Applies to companies and open-source devs.
