The EU-level organisation – led by France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands – will develop open source alternatives in key areas like AI, cloud, and social networks

Edit: It is a joint open source initiative between Germany, France, Italy, & Netherlands to make Cybersecurity, AI, Cloud, & Social Media Network alternatives

Maybe we can finally get a Facebook open source alternative with mobile apps /s

Spotted this on Mastodon so I decided to inform you all. What you think?

    My point is that Apple dominates that list of developers (and them and Google before that). How much do you think BlackBerry is contributing these days?

    Since we are talking history though, one of the original KHTML devs was Andreas Kling who went on to work on WebKit at Apple and who now leads the Ladybird browser project. He lives in Sweden so I guess Ladybird is European though the newly formed Ladybird Foundation is US based (I am sure to make it easier to raise money by offering US tax deductions).

      We’ll see, at the moment in the US isn’t a good country for devs or cientifics, less for foreigners. They even cut the money to the NASA, shutting down climate sats, investigation centers and universities, not even police and military get paid (only ICE). Better if he tried it in Canada, the US is currently the worst and most crappy country to immigrate for everyone.
