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?

    finally. i’ve been waiting for this for a long time. finally a worthwhile software development project again.

    France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands will work to develop open, European alternatives in “key areas” such as AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and – curiously – social networks.

    especially social networks are important, as it allows people to connect and exchange messages outside of the influence of US big biased algorithms.

    does anybody have a link to the project website, where one can sign up and contribute?
