Thanks to the @sovtechfund and I was able to attend 2025 🇺🇳 representing the @ThePSF and focusing on how maintaining, supporting, and securing is a non-negotiable part of worldwide Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). The trip was an inspiring reminder how many incredibly smart and talented people are working on this problem together.

Heading home after a long week of extra long days at #UNOpenSourceWeek. Physically exhausted but inspired and mentally charged thanks to the passion and commitment of the global #OpenSource community. We are all ready to make the world better for all. Onward and upward!

It's time for today's last (not least!) session - and the very last session of a packed #UNOpenSourceWeek.

Julian Stirling of the Humanitarian Technology Trust kicks off "Open Technologies in Healthcare" with a presentation on a 3d-printed #OpenHardware microscope.

Incredibly interesting, great example of open tech for social good, check out the website: httrust.org/.

And now some live-tooting from "Invisible Work, Critical Code – The Role of Maintainers in Open Source Digital Infrastructure", a session led by the Sovereign Tech Agency. Examples of public infrastructure: electric grids, railways, roads and bridges, and... sewers! And now for a provocative metaphor: "Open Source is a sewer". Let's see where this leads us! #UNOpenSourceWeek #UNOSW

Let’s shift the conversation—from launching tools to sustaining ecosystems.

Advocating to the worlds' governments for support of #OpenSource on the floor of the #UN as done over the last few days always brings joy, but today at #UNOpenSourceWeek we shift into less formal, practical mode, as we all get to demonstrate the real #FOSS spirit of working together toward global digital cooperation. Let's do it!

Unser Geschäftsführer Ralph Dehner war diese Woche auf der UN Open Source Week in New York!

Er vertrat dort nicht nur B1 Systems, sondern auch den Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) – ein Forum innerhalb der @OSBA

Die UN Open Source Week bringt wichtige internationale Akteure aus Open Source, digitaler Infrastruktur & dem öffentlichen Sektor zusammen.

Wir sind froh, Teil der globalen Open-Source-Community zu sein!

In listening to the Nigerian representative at the #UNOpenSourceWeek - is #DigitalPublicInfrastructure the next social contract? Will it be something that will meet the needs of everyone?

#UNOpenSourceWeek friends, the best bagels in the city are at Ess-A-Bagel at 51st & 3rd Avenue, not far from UNHQ. If you like bagels or want to, you should give them a try. (No, I'm not on commission.)

Live from #UNOpenSourceWeek!

In our breakout session on Public Interest and Open Source today, we examined whether open source, in its very structure, constitutes a #publicgood.
The discussion connected open source to #education,#research, digital #sovereignty, and resistance to extractive models—raising important questions for institutional #policy and international #cooperation.
