🕵️‍♂️ Let’s talk about data sovereignty!

Despite risks, we rely on hyperscalers like Microsoft or Google. But there are good news: A Sovereign Workplace – an open & free alternative – is coming, driven by a group of open source software vendors.

It is known that using proprietary software and infrastructure such as #Microsoft365 and #Zoom does not comply with the EU #GDPR. There are ready-to-use #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware alternatives available (e.g. @nextcloud, #Jitsi and @matrix).

However, German projects such as #dPhoenix for building a #SovereignWorkplace fail to follow the principles of #CodeSharing and appear to be #openwashing. The @fsfe doubts the ministry's willingness to foster a #PublicMoneyPublicCode strategy https://fsfe.org/news/2023/news-20230606-01.en.html

🎉#ILoveFreeSoftwareDay We love Free Software because it provides data sovereignty and enables the best integrations.
