Nice that they want civil society to feel listened to during the law-making process, but how about including us, and other stakeholders, as part of the governance structure of the
#InteroperableEuropeAct with an actual decision-making role?

The #InteroperableEuropeAct needs a #FreeSoftware first approach.

Clear rules, concrete activities, and a dedicated budget are missing. The role of civil society is overlooked, and there are not yet clear definitions of #FreeSoftware & #OpenStandards

https://fsfe.org/news/2023/news-20230323-02.html

By going in the direction of #FreeSoftware first, the EU can assure that tax's payers money is spent in the most efficient way, while it will create the collaborative ecosystem that is needed to achieve #Interoperability in Europe.

Discussion on the #InteroperableEuropeAct sounds very good at #fosdem, even though much of it goes over my head. It sounds like a good idea to improve interoperability across "[software] solutions", but also like a huge complex regulatory thing that I don't want to get involved in. 🤯
