Open Source: A global commons to enable digital sovereignty
In a world increasingly run by software, countries around the world are waking up to their dependency on foreign services and products. Geopolitical shifts drive digital sovereignty to the top of the political agenda in Europe and other regions. How can we ensure that regulations protecting our citizens actually apply? How do we guarantee continuity of operations in a potentially fragmenting world? How do we ensure access to critical services is not held hostage in future international trade negotiations?

Sustaining Open Source: The Next 25 Years Depend on What We Do Together Now
Open source is suffering from its own success. The ecosystem that once thrived on volunteer energy now faces existential questions: How do we sustain the infrastructure that powers the modern world? The answer isnât just moneyâitâs people, governance, and collaboration. We need companies to invest not only funds but also employee time, foundations to work together instead of in silos, and communities to plan for the full lifecycle of projects. The next 25 years depend on what we do together now.
