Digital sovereignty

In its recently published statement "Sustainable use of open source for digitally sovereign administration", the OSB (Open Source Business) Alliance calls for a rethink of IT procurement processes in public institutions: away from product-focused and towards requirements- and function-oriented tenders.

According to the OSB Alliance, this is the only way to gain a comprehensive overview of the diverse solutions and offerings of open source. In OwnCloud's opinion, the OSB Alliance is on the right track with this approach - just like the European Union with its open source strategy, which it presented on October 21 and with which it wants to set the course for Europe's digital future. Both approaches aim to create a sovereign European data infrastructure that lays the foundation for Europe's digital sovereignty and independence.
