@BuyFromEU Awesome, for (semi-)public expenses, factor in public values!

@mmorschel also, a strategic narrative is painfully necessary to defend against the strongman's propaganda: "Communism" "weak" "Elitist" etc.

It needs to be a story that is not just idealistic or condescending, it needs to show how people will actually benefit in their daily lives. With measureable outcomes on short term as well, to feed the momentum...

It's certainly a difficult menu but I'm convinced Europe holds the right ingredients.

@mmorschel

The EU seems actively steering away from ¨markets will solve everything".

No, markets are efficient in some things but for public values free markets create poverty, crappy products and a polluted world.

@mmorschel there should be a strategic narrative on EU level why this is needed as well.

It should have a federated approach, since a lot needs to be built and adopted, and there still is a scarcity of talent.

The program needs focused education and spread work across Europe. We can not allow internal competion to waste resources building the same stuff in many places.

Europe is actively making plans. Have you seen: https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/news/europe-seeking-input-its-open-source-strategy
