#eurostack is not a bad idea, but the people who will eat it are too corrupt to have any outcome.

"The most immediate goal has to be to build European cloud alternatives and create bundles of software on top, that offer attractive functionalities."
EU institutions do not have industrial policy in their DNA, and yet industrial policy is what #Eurostack needs (and not only Eurostack, as per the Draghi report). Curious to see if Jean Monnet's prophecy comes true once again, and @EUCommission comes through.
Great blog about EuroStack, we need to BUILD !
"We need to think about this first and foremost as an industrial project. With some public support but one where “industry” (the supply side) needs to be given the incentive to build, and the opportunity to scale and expand. We don’t need more “events” and pensive stuff about “our European values” and “democracy” around digital sovereignty. Industry should do its thing, or nothing will happen. Wake up."

#EuroStack #EU
I'm reading the #eurostack policy study, "Time to Build a European Digital Ecosystem," from Dec 2024.
First thing that stands out: The study is presented (1) as an embedded (and downloadable) PDF, (2) with a TOC that lacks hyperlinks, and (3) extensive footnotes lacking backlinks to their occurrence in the main text, and I'm feeling like this is an allegory for something.
Folks, there are lessons to be taken from Silicon Valley, regardless how we feel about them now. Regardless of monopolistic intentions, friction elimination in pursuit of one's goal is critical. There is a lot of good stuff in this proposal. But if I have to leave my browser, or worse yet, look through a tiny viewport embedded in my browser to get at the information, you have already lost me.
Fewer headshots and more forward motion, please.

It’s genuinely thrilling for me to take part in this transatlantic dialogue. I’d say it’s well worth spending a Sunday preparing for it #DMA #AndroidAuto #EuroStack #NFC

Must-read #Eurostack post from Cristina Caffarra: https://cristinacaffarra.blog/2025/06/26/european-digital-sovereignty-is-an-industrial-project-everyone-else-get-out-of-the-way/ "We don’t need think tanks without experience of business who never studied an investment deck creating a dust storm with “we need to set up a big public fund! Hundreds of billions! to fund everything from Brussels!”
You don't need a big project to clone every capability of US-based hyperscale clouds to build a Eurostack that's better than the incumbents---if you make buy/build decisions based on actual IT customer needs.
Wer nannte es #EuroStack und nicht #Eurobox?
Probably well known here but just to be sure. The EuroStack initiative deserves the attention it is getting. It is a complete European approach to digital sovereignty. Read all about it.

@AngelaScholder @ErikJonker hopefully the #eurostack initiative will allow the EU a strong enough position to demand a market to exist.
Only with #interoperability and a diverse ecosystem, its possible to beat the winner-takes-all mentality from silicon valley.
(I may be preaching to the choir with this one)

Just became a member of @Codeberg! Supporting digital sovereignty and ethical open source beyond Big Tech.
Codeberg is a nonprofit, community-driven GitHub alternative based in Europe. It‘s IMO a foundation for a future “Eurostack” enabling a more democratic internet.
Important update to our #SocialMediaMatrix:
@Mastodon has now been recognised as a digital public good by the #UN Initiative @dpgalliance as the only #SocialMedia. Congratulations! 🎉
Now as a criterion under »Communication: Strategic aspects « in our #SocialMediaMatrix:
https://social-media-matrix.king-consult.de/index-en.html
What does this mean? #Mastodon is highly relevant to the #SDGs - important for public organisations and sustainable companies!
@bert_hubert Please keep me in mind if there is any contract work available in #EuroStack initiatives.
Anyone here involved in the #EuroStack initiative? I worked for nine years for a company that used AWS and Azure and I'd love the opportunity to help create something not so dependent on US tech companies. (I'm based in the Netherlands.)
The #EuropeanCommission supports multi-country projects with a programme called European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC). On 13 June already, France mentioned the "Digital Commons" #EDIC currently in the making, which in principle could also support a sovereign operating system such as #EU_OS.
The EDIC should be launched this summer with France 🇫🇷, Germany 🇩🇪, Netherlands 🇳🇱 , Italy 🇮🇹 and Slovenia 🇸🇮! 🥳

Kul att projektet börjar få spridning i gammelmedia också, det möjliggör ju att fler får reda på projektet och kan påbörja sin övergång.

I'm only an hour into the conference but am a bit worried already about the #DigitalSovereignty topic to be -- again -- mostly discussed as a geopolitical issue like the #EuroStack rather than from a user freedom and individual autonomy angle. Let's see where the discussion goes...
