The first article in one of our national newspapers this morning about the launch of the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (#EDIC) today 🍾🇪🇺

Title: "Europe takes first step towards digital independence. Four European countries are taking on the American tech giants, taking the lead in developing European software." 🇳🇱🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹

If they go for FOSS and fuel the freelance/ SME landscape it’s fine.

In the past they‘ve preferred to cooperate w/ big companies and have copied the US failures. See Gaia-X.

Btw it says 4 countries, but those are the ones that have openly committed themselves to the EDIC (which is a whole bureaucratic ordeal).

We have a ton of "observing" EU member states involved, some of which are very active participants already (like Luxembourg! 👏🇱🇺)
