Robert, EU OS project lead, has met yesterday Dirk Schrödter, Minister for Digitalization and Head of the State Chancellery Schleswig-Holstein (SH), in Brussels. SH will organise a public tender for a #Linux OS. To be seen to which extend #EU_OS can be reflected in the tender specification! 🤔

Please reshare ♻️! Mario #Draghi on 22 Oct: "For years the European Union believed that its economic dimension, with 450 million consumers, would itself bring geopolitical power and leverage in international trade relations. This year will be remembered as the year in which that illusion evaporated."

#EU_OS is just a hobby, won't be big and professional like #Windows11. 😇 😉 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History... #endof10 #Linux #BelatedBirthday #GNU #OSS #opensource

After #sactions on judges of the International Criminal Court (#ICC), the US administration considers now sanctions on EU officials working on the #DigitalServiceAct #DSA:

Quote from #SAP CEO: "[…] we must become comfortable with a form of digital sovereignty founded on both self-determination and mutual dependencies.

Thanks to our network of supporters, #EU_OS benefits from early access to a study from the Commission on the in-house use of Linux on the workspace. It is from 2005 and was revealed through an request for access to documents.

The work on #EU_OS continues. In the last days, the Proof-of-Concept pages at eu-os.eu/poc/ have received a updates on provisioning, branding and thoughts on user data backups. Open questions and issues are listed at gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.... Please lend us your helping hand/spread the word 🗣️

During the #UN #opensourceweek in June 2025 in their HQ in New York, Adriana Groh from the @sovereign.tech talked about open digital infrastructure and digital sovereignty 🇺🇳 . Robert, who attended for #EU_OS, was in the crowd – and coded meanwhile on #EU_OS. 🚀 1/2

The #US imposes 30% of #UStariffs to the #EuropeanUnion. According to Politico, the Commission is ready to retaliate. EU OS believes that a European response with Tariffs on US BigTech services (or all services that face trade deficits) would make so much more sense if the EU had alternatives. 1/2

The #EuropeanCommission supports multi-country projects with a programme: European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC). On 13/06 already, France mentioned the "Digital Commons" #EDIC currently in the making, which in principle could also support a sovereign operating system such as #EU_OS. 1/2

Meanwhile in #Berlin: Heise reports about struggles to migrate from #Windows10 to 11. Only 12% of the about 100k computers are migrated so far. 136 out of 271 have been tested for their #Windows11 support. For the others, it remains unclear. 1/3 #EU_OS

The city governments in Denmark’s two largest cities Copenhagen and Aarhus both say they have decided to phase out Microsoft as a provider of various IT systems.

We need European RISC-V chips and hardware for smartphones, tablets, laptops & corporate PCs. Coulped with @eu-os.eu for true independence. We cannot trust US or China for these things anymore. They don't play by the rules.

Day 2 of #hackdays2025: #EU_OS has now a Proof-of-Concept section on the website (work in progress). The team enrolled some #bootc PCs in #Foreman. The results so far were pitched to a selection board. Thanks to the great team! 🙏 Unfortunately, #EU_OS wasn't selected to proceed to the next stage.

Day 1 of #hackdays2025: #EU_OS has started with possibly the biggest team of 14 people from several countries. To build the proof of concept, the team works on several sub tasks: - building the EU OS image - setting up full-disk encryption - setting up FIDO2 hardware key to unlock encryption 1/2
