In 2025, i started the #EuroStack potential newsletter, but i couldn't find the right angle i wanted to focus on. I am superproud of the piece on using EuroStack for decolonisation: you can't show you are worried about EU being a digital colony without addressing Europe's colonisation legacy 1/4

Last week i shared how it was hard to #EuroStack when open source providers (including European) use AWS servers for their online cloud. I love what @openproject.bsky.social are doing: They have two options for cloud hosting, ok yes an AWS option but also the French cloud provider @scaleway.com

We are looking for an European 🇪🇺 alternative to replace OpsGenie / PagerDuty; could you please share some love with us ? #cloud #sovereignty

"Let's be bold, ambitious and creative!" @diegonaranjo.bsky.social shares a plan for 2026: www.linkedin.com/pulse/2026-y...

We've mapped the #agrifood ecosystem. We want to help players identify how data flows, how to align with standards & regulations, who to partner with, & how to calculate impacts on society, local economies & the environment. Anyone want to test this out? platformable.com/blog/agrifoo...

We're hiring a postdoc to identify, map and evaluate commercially used age verification systems Closing Date: 16 January 2026 Apply here: aial.ie/hiring/postd...

Im a big policy nerd, but with #EuroStack i want to bring it down a level and hear more discussions about practicalities, partly as a small business that wants to live the principles of digital sovereignty and partly as a European citizen (ok permanent resident). 1/2

Excellent thread to counteract the "competitiveness" agenda as a necessity for EU. As I've said, it doesn't factor in universal healthcare, wage theft and huge inequities, education costs, or that the top companies include meta and other unethical highly ranked enterprises

Hey I'm gonna be in Paris all of next week if anyone is there and wants to talk digital ecosystems with me?!

If anyone needs help transferring their playlists to tidal or another service let me know!

Each of these remixes is a banger in its own right: tidal.com/browse/album...

So proud of my niece Iolanthe in the latest Orville Peck video youtu.be/R5BzsIY1FHk?... Great track, rivaling my recent fave “permanently lonely”

Still thinking about how @coricrider.com said its not so much “walled gardens” as “cock fighting cages” at #MozFest last week

Its out: as amazing as i had hoped. tidal.com/browse/album...

Celeste’s new album comes out tomorrow. Here’s a demo from it that got me so excited: tidal.com/browse/track...

I'm starting to plan my trip to Paris for 8-13 December. Anyone want to meet up and talk open digital ecosystems while i am there?

Read @robin.berjon.com on cloud infrastructure Europe must embrace a “break-and-build” strategy: “break” entrenched monopolies and “build” its own digital infrastructure and addressing on a sector-by-sector basis @projectsyndicate.bsky.social prosyn.org/5baiDt6?refe...

Amazing work by @francescabria.bsky.social and team www.authoritarian-stack.info

Unlearning data collection by looking at new citizen generated data models at #mozfest with Datalabe

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Hearing @ruha9.bsky.social today set me up for the rest of the year and for 2026, to be building and supporting alternatives that help us all jump from the current cycle’s endgame to a new world we are all welcome to participate and create in.

We’ve just launched our Global Digital Health Policy Dashboard, aiming to become an ecosystem view of digital health in each country. Have a look at our beta release and let us know what you think: platformable.com/blog/global-...

Great start to my first mozfest with @robin.berjon.com and @coricrider.com talking about how to break, build and enforce new digital infrastructure for democratic societies

“Breaking up monopolies is a creative act” - @coricrider.com at MozFest. Fascinating, funny and inspiring start to the day

Following @rebeccawilliams.info civictech and govtech career for years: she has an outstanding capacity to think through how tech can be in service of communities i hope @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s team sees this.

Looking forward to attending this and meeting some of the @openfuture.bsky.social team

I’m going to Mozilla Festival 2025 in Barcelona this November! Join me there to help build a better, healthier internet. mzl.la/3HDm6HF

I want to commit myself to this going forward. New strategy to swap from my friday afternoon linkedin fightback cycle (see my previous post where i got into it about AGI this week). This suggestion feels more aligned with what im trying to do more generally: build new options for the future

Just realised i have a habit of picking arguments on LinkedIn on Friday afternoons about AI. By the end of the week i think i get fed up & cant resist saying something. Today, Gartner showed AGI on an AI adoption spectrum. But the fine print admits it would require technologies not even built yet!!!

We're releasing our health data governance learning course as a series of blog posts every friday. And combining it with open office hours coming up from mid-November. Join us to discuss how to improve your health data governance practices: platformable.com/blog/health-...

I love that my work is mostly writing, and i pride myself somewhat on identifying as a "writer". But writing also physically hurts a lot of the time. It feels like molasses rolling down two sides of a hill and i am waiting for them to connect in the valley between, its excruciating.

May i suggest a new term? I know we have ai slop for the content generated by ai but may i propose AI gunk to refer to the worsening of google workspace, miro, and other globally distributed architecture software that now glitches more often or is slow to work cos of all the ai gunk clogging it up

Looking forward to attending this tomorrow. Keen to hear how i can continue to foster open digital ecosystems through future policy making and action in europe

We need more strategies that discuss how to build non-AI solutions for competitive advantage. Here’s my contribution: platformable.com/blog/ai-bloc...

Loving digging into this: cartography-of-generative-ai.net Superb graphics and excellent look at full “value” chain of genAI. Useful for mapping impacts and addressing challenges with genAI adoption

The EU can’t miss the chance to build fairer, stronger, more efficient supply chains. Ahead of the #JURI vote on 13 Oct, we urge MEPs to reject political blackmail and defend the core elements of the #CSDDD.🤝 #Omnibus

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here. www.liberalbriefs.com/geopolitics/... And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong. #AIisnotresearch

But “competitiveness”.

There was an interesting paper about comparing the cost of local models vs the using the big AI labs in hospitals, so you might see people start to take a crack at it:

I love our digital ecosystem mapping at @platformable.bsky.social Here we look at the digital health ecosystem and map stakeholders, components and value that can be generated. Ideal way to start on ecosystem design thinking if looking to engage in digital health… platformable.com/blog/digital...

Here are my slides for my #apiConference talk "Making Your APIs AI-Ready" b.mamund.com/4oj5vIT "This talk outlines five critical shifts organizations can make to ensure their API ecosystems are machine-ready: Intentionality, Context, Standardization, Discovery, and Adaptability."

Just released our updated health data governance framework: platformable.com/blog/health-... move beyond the technical focus and think about health data governance from a digital ecosystem and societal benefit perspective!

Highly recommend this. When we talk about digital sovereignty and EuroStack it needs to be more than just swapping out US bigtech for potential EU founders with the same growth mindset and instead lead to open digital ecosystems that support everyone to participate, including workers

Very interesting new polling data: The vast majority of French, Germans and Italians support strengthening European tech sovereignty and incentivising "Buy European" approaches. Another area where European voters are ahead of the policy debate. Source: legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/09/2...
