Back in Brussels!

Today: #EUOpenSourcePolicySummit, by @OpenForumEurope !

Tomorrow: #FOSDEM!

If you bump into me, please say hi! :D

I will be happy to talk about what open source can do for Europe and how #VoltEuropa can do more in this domain. We are young, but we are ambitious.

Let's discuss:

1. The role of OS for digital sovereignty and geopolitics.
2. How we will make open source a successful innovation model.
3. How we will change public procurement, from my city council to the EU.

The future is federated. As a Volter (federal Europe) and fediverse ambassador I know that, but in past years I have not seen someone say it so brilliantly as @_elena!

I'm reading the #TheFutureIsFederated posts and I love it!

"The Fediverse has empowered me to take back control from Big Tech. Now I want to help others do the same."

I feel exactly the same! And everytime when people ask me to talk about the fediverse, I feel it even more! :D

I was quite shocked by this fragment of #Buitenhof, where #TimothySnyder is interviewed by #TwanHuys. I will probably be sharing this video for the upcoming four years.

If you think that loyal paramilitaries are dangerous in a rule of law state, please share this video far and wide. The interview is in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ_HzpPYJAo&t=161

The part I'm talking about is only about two minutes, from 2:40 until 5:04.
