Sweden is also choosing @forgejo@floss.social for their digitally sovereign government codeplatform, just like the Dutch code.overheid.nl π₯³π₯³ https://github.com/diggsweden/ena-kodsamverkansplattform-poc This is a nice step towards less dependence on US big tech, aka Github. In my last days at the @BZKopensource@social.overheid.nl I hope to set up a working group with other EU governments, to work towards a federated network of codeplatforms πͺπΊ #codeplatform #forgejo #ospo #digitalsovereignty...

Nice work Switzerland! ππ European governments are starting to support alternative mobile app stores, such as @fdroidorg@floss.social , for their government-built apps. Next up, government issued (fair)phones for civil servants that come with an open OS and open app store? π https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/suche-curia-vista/geschaeft?AffairId=20267146 #digitalsovereignty #opensource #foss #mobile #fdroid #eupolicy #switzerland
