‼️ Unsere Demokratie braucht Regeln für Social Media und Suchmaschinen!
Auch der Bundesrat hatte das bereits im April 2023 eingesehen.
Doch anstatt vorwärts zu machen, hat der Bundesrat letzte Woche den Gesetzesentwurf weiter hinausgezögert.
📣 Die Diskussion über die notwendigen Spielregeln für Social Media und Suchmaschinen muss jedoch dringend stattfinden!
🚀 Unterzeichne unseren offenen Brief an den Bundesrat:

Laisser notre débat démocratique à la merci des caprices de Musk, Zuckerberg et consorts? Non. Dans une lettre ouverte, nous demandons au Conseil fédéral de présenter une feuille de route claire pour la réglementaion des plateformes, qui est à nouveau retardée: http://reglementer-les-plateformes.ch
Unsere demokratische Debatte einfach den Launen von Musk, Zuckerberg & Co. überlassen? Nein. In einem offenen Brief fordern wir den Bundesrat auf, einen klaren Fahrplan für die erneut verzögerte Plattformregulierung vorzulegen: http://plattformen-regulieren.ch/
On 10 April, we held our annual general assembly in Bern.
The event consisted of a workshop to collect and discuss challenges and ideas for future development and the statutory part including the biannual board elections.
Three board members did not stand for re-election. We are infinitely grateful for their contribution to advancing open data in Switzerland 🙏 . On the other hand, we are happy to count on the support of two new board members.

Könnten Forstarbeiter im Revier auf dem Mobiltelefon anstehende Arbeiten georeferenziert vermerken, priorisieren und später in das bestehende Geoinformationssystem (GIS) exportieren?
Diese und weitere Challenges beschäftigten die Teilehmenden des Smart Regio Lab Lenzburg Seetal, welches von 21. bis 22. März 2025 zum zweiten Mal in Lenzburg statt fand.
Wir durften die Veranstalter oganisatorisch und technisch ein weiteres Mal unterstützen.
