A great example for #DigitalSovereignty done right is the French city of @echirolles that not only signs declarations but also uses #FOSS in practice, like #ZorinOS, @bigbluebutton, @libreoffice, @nextcloud and @peertube.

European cities, take note.

Especially those that are members of this coalition: https://citiesfordigitalrights.org/cities

Information about the UK #cybersecurity Bill coming out today:

Missing:

* Protections for encryption
* Explicit discussion of #digitalsovereignty and the need to transition to #opensource #foss
* Safeguards against future self inflicted cybersecurity disasters through hiding vulnerabilities leading to incidents like WannaCry

@openrightsgroup will be making the case for these changes

Hey all , ealier this year I attended @FOSSBackstage and also had the opportunity to present there, talking about how @SAPOpenSource

#LibreOffice: Kennt jemand ein Tutorial, das erklärt, wie man eine neue Vorlage aufbaut? In der normal.ott stehen ja sehr viele Formatvorlagen, die man nicht alle braucht. Kann man irgendwie bei 0 anfangen?

Could anyone spare a "Like" for these kids who are trying to plant some seeds of Open Source in the USA Midwest?

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

#OpenOffice vs #LibreOffice vs ??

I've been using Google Docs for composing and managing resumes and cover letters. It's quick and easy to edit, but I don't love the feel of the finished product. #LaTeX gives me a ton of control, but adds more friction during revisions.

What are you going with for word processing these days?

The Linux Foundation Announces the Launch of #NeoNephos to Advance Digital Autonomy in Europe

They are not talking about #digitalsouvereignty any more but about #DigitalAutonomy which is stronger.

Signs of #foss communities splitting up. You can doubt if #SAP or #deutschetelekom are German companies, but there seems to be a lot of movement behind the scenes.

Where will the next LibreOffice Conference be held? @tdforg members will decide! We've received two proposals, from Budapest and Luxembourg: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/03/31/libreoffice-conference-2025-location-proposals/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware
