🔴 #TheTechPeopleWant is on!

We are discussing why people want #OpenData with the authors of Towards a Sustainable Data Commons Ecosystem.

It's key to keep in mind that "Without sustainability there is no sovereignty" says @anamandes.bsky.social

Join the discussion today and tomorrow.

Join us for the webinar launch of the *Quality & consistent data with ODE*, the free online course we developed together with @ok.org.br as a complement to #OpenDataEditor to help people gain practical skills to improve the quality of their #data.

Great to hear about small seeds funding from the @prototypefund.bsky.social (@okfde.bsky.social) - a lightweight innovation fund which caters to the current needs of civil society, building alternatives to giants.
My new mantra: "There isn't one way of being successful" @shiromarieke.bsky.social

Great way to start the day with Peter Murray Rust's talk about #OpenKnowledge graphs for climate & the great stuff #semanticClimate is doing in the @fosdemresearch.bsky.social. I finally got to meet Chuff, the @okfn.bsky.social okapi, who came all this way to see me! 💚

In the @fosdemresearch.bsky.social we are hearing about a very well known problem: what to do when repos disappear? We had this problem at @okfn.bsky.social, my colleague @pdelboca.me wrote about it: blog.okfn.org/2024/10/22/o...
Software Heritage can help!

And here's Chuff waving my way 💚

We are getting started in the @fosdemresearch.bsky.social with a great talk about #SemanticClimate from Peter Murray Rust - who brought the @okfn.bsky.social mascotte okapi 💚

It's so important not to discourage #data sharing but instead try to push for transparency when regulating #AI, says @frimelle.bsky.social on the last panel of the day on #OpenSourceAI. 👏👏👏

What form would an AI need to take for a developer to be able to modify, fix, replicate, etc. ? @maffulli.net telling us about the OSAI definition and why llama is NOT open source at the EU Open Source Policy Summit.

Felix Reda, from @github.com: In our modern society EVERYTHING runs on software, and that software uses public code. As much as our physical infrastructure, our digital infrastructure needs to be maintained. That maintenance work is under-resourced. This needs to change.
#EUOpenSourcePolicySummit25

Cristina Caffarra, @cepr.org fellow: we are a colony, in Europe 90% of our digital infrastructure is owned by #BigTech. We focused all our efforts on regulating, but this is not creating alternatives nor distributing the power.
#OpenSourcePolicySummit25

I am at the EU #OpenSource policy summit today. Come and say hi if you are around!
