Digital sovereignty knows no borders, IMHO.

Digital sovereignty knows no borders, IMHO. That's why I always cringe when the important topic of digital sovereignty is put into some weird patriotic bucket like national digital sovereignty. Here's the simple deal: Digital sovereignty MUST mean Open Source and Open Standards. Which MUST be developed and shared globally. Everything else is just market making and exclusionary isolation. IMHO.

@jwildeboer I hope the EU will finally start working on a shared European Cloud Infrastructure, instead of just talking about it through Gaia-X.

@Gina That decision seems to have been made by various member states already and it is Microsoft I hope that the Trump election will cause some reevaluation of that.

@jwildeboer Well it's not all just software. Hardware, buildings, energy grids and distribution are all very important parts of digital sovereignty.

@mikamtb Sure. And they all would also be better when implemented in trsparent and open ways
