"EuroStack – A European alternative for digital sovereignty", thought this was a super interesting read: https://www.ceps.eu/ceps-publications/eurostack-a-european-alternative-for-digital-sovereignty/ #technology #European #eurostack #alternatives #BuyFromEU
"O desenvolvimento tecnológico na Europa é visto com bons olhos até nos EUA. Numa altura em que as o modelo das tecnológicas atinge um de ponto de saturação, a ideia de criar tecnologia que se sujeite a valores pensados à priori, não parta coisas para avançar rapidamente, e não imponha a lei do mais forte, é vista fundamentalmente como um bom serviço aos utilizadores. E que até do ponto de vista do mercado pode ser positiva, ao aumentar a concorrência e obrigar as empresas que agora são monopólios a manter a qualidade dos seus serviços e a evitar o caminho da merdificação, característico dos serviços digitais sem concorrentes.
Mas para um projecto desta envergadura entrar em vigor, é preciso mais do que um relatório — mesmo que este tenha surgido de uma iniciativa multipartidária do Parlamento Europeu. Como mostra o próprio documento, mas também o recente manifesto subscrito por empresas europeias que surge em sequência deste, a transformação proposta implica uma grande convergência de esforços e uma federação das capacidades que já existem nos diferentes pontos da União Europeia. E todos já testemunhámos como a coordenação não é o forte deste bloco político, tão susceptível quanto outros a derivas autoritárias anti-privacidade (como o caso do ChatControl) ou a embarcar em hypes de curto prazo, como em alguns desenvolvimentos de IA. Para além disso, nada se faz sem grandes somas de capital, e nesse aspecto, não é certo que a entrada de investidores privados e de capital de risco, não possa, naturalmente, desvirtuar parte da componente pelo bem comum do projecto, preferindo modelos de desenvolvimento correntes, tendo em vista ao lucro, objectivo último do seu trabalho."

EuroStack, il piano per un'Europa indipendente da Big Tech
Secondo il collettivo #Eurostack bisogna fare un tentativo per smarcarsi il più possibile dai player extra Ue. Prima che sia troppo tardi. Ecco come

Dutch & French legislators push back against Big Tech, aligning with EuroStack's vision. Open source, interoperability & EU collaboration are key. Time for bold action: build, don't just regulate! #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #EuroStack
#EuroStack : les acteurs de la tech appellent à un sursaut de souveraineté européenne
Quelque 80 entreprises et représentants de filières du monde de la tech appellent la Commission européenne à s'engager dans le développement d'un socle numérique européen, des infrastructures physiques aux solutions logiques. Avec, comme leviers immédiats, des politiques d'investissement massif, d'achats publics souverains et de standards industriels ouverts.
APELL – The European Open Source Software Business Association joins almost 100 partners in the #EuroStack initiative, calling for a decisive committment to sovereign digital infrastructure. In the context of unprecedented international challenges, we urge the European Commission to take action towards sovereign digital infrastructure. #technologicalsovereignty #opensource

European Tech Leaders Urge Digital EU Sovereignty In Letter To European Commission

Here's a PDF explaining the #Eurostack initiative
What is Eurostack:
“EuroStack” is an umbrella term for a European tech infrastructure intended to create local capacity along the digital value chains which enable the provision of digital products and services – from chips to data to compute to connectivity.
The term originates as a catchy shorthand for “Investment in European Public Digital Infrastructure”, borrowing in part from the successful “India Stack” concept now popular across the world.
The objective is to reduce Europe’s current total dependency on non-European actors for service to European citizens, businesses, and institutions, to enhance security, create redundancy and resilience, improve opportunities for innovation and digital competitiveness while establishing European governance rules."
See the full report here:

"Companies spanning areas including cloud, telecoms, defence, along with several regional business and startup associations, have put their names to the letter — which was sent to the Commission on Sunday — urging the bloc to switch its tech strategy onto a quasi-war footing by committing to support “sovereign digital infrastructure.”
The plan pushes for reducing reliance on foreign-owned Big Tech by actively fostering development of a so-called “Euro stack.” The European digital infrastructure pitch is not coming out of thin air — a Euro Stack paper written by, among others, the competition economist Cristina Caffarra was published in January fleshing out the strategy in some detail.
There has also been, over the last half year or so, a smattering of conference chatter turning over the potential for enterprising Europeans to seize a geopolitically fraught moment to press the case for the EU to adopt a digital industrial strategy that’s squarely focused on favoring local innovation."
Apparently #EuroStack is a thing now.

Oh hey, they are also on Mastodon:

Wait, EuroStack?
I heard that term mentioned in OpenDesk presenation at FOSDEM, but I assumed that it is more of a colloquialism. It's actual name of an actual project? Nice
Time to learn about it.
what if IT customers in the EU started out just looking for a #Eurostack #cloudComputing provider...and ended up with a interoperable cloud standard (and a better negotiating position instead of lock-in) instead?

@carmine After a careful review I switched to DNS.sb for their strong privacy stance, good documentation & availability of unicast servers close by in my region (Asia Pacific). So far, so good!
In line with my drive to switch to a #eurostack looking at a VPS with their partner xTom.
"Das kostet sehr viel Geld." Geld das man bei der Rüstung sparen kann. Solche Projekte sind #zukunftsorientiert und erschaffen bleibende Werte. Die #EU entwickelt und nutzt eigene digitale Werkzeuge, basierend auf #opensource. Ein komplett neuer Ansatz. Wir können die Früchte dieser Saat an unsere Kinder weitergeben. Krieg zerstört und wirkt destruktiv. Ein absoluter No-Brainer. Ich hoffe, für die #Politik auch!
