Me after 2 seconds at a party tonight.

Btw I found it beyond ironic that @zendis 's booth, the German Center for Digital Sovereignty, who build sovereign alternatives, was placed next to the evil empire looking Mastercard area at SCCON26.

Dutch bank ABN Amro (one of the big 3) is at risk of being hit by US sanctions, because of services it provides to the ICC.

Worst case scenario ABN AMRO would be excluded from the international banking system, which would be the "corporate death penalty" and has already caused another bank, the Amsterdam Trade Bank, to go under.

Amsterdam police seized a server belonging to Autistici/Inventati (A/I) from a data center at Amsterdam Science Park, acting on a US legal assistance request. Police digital experts are making an image of the drive, which goes straight to the US.

A/I spent 25 years providing free web hosting and email to about 20,000 left-wing and anti-capitalist groups. In August the US branded it a terrorist organization.

@Karlitschek @nextcloud @zendis and of course, our very own @RosannaSibora also got to present @openproject updates on the Zendis main stage 🔥

Day 2 of #SCCON has been a lot of fun. Currently listening to @Karlitschek talking about @nextcloud updates at our @zendis booth.

Don't mind me, just fangirling over talking open source with @landesregierung 's Minister for Digitalization and Media Policy @dirkschroedter, and @AlexRosenthal , leader of @digitalhubsh :ablobcathappypaws:

And yes I know it's vibecoded, but I hate Adobe even more than I hate AI.

Oh nooo... someone recreated Adobe's entire suite.. and it's all free and open source. So sad, won't someone think of the shareholders... 🥲

The US is going to impose new sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). These sanctions would prevent companies from providing services to the ICC.

Dutch newspaper @NRC wrote an article a month ago about IT suppliers of the ICC, such as @ProcoliX , who worry about getting hit by US sanctions as well.

We're at the final talk of the Decentralized and Federated track at @oscl

Our amazing @_elena talks about the state of social media, her Fediverse experience, and the importance of moving EU public institutions towards ethical, decentralized platforms. 🔥🔥

@_elena @oscl @paolo we have lots of cool talks at our track, but I'm also really excited to for our "Institutions on the Fediverse" panel.

This panel brings together experts who have brought prestigious cultural and public institutions on the Fediverse. 👏

We have the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK), the French Ministry of Culture, and @manfredzielinski is going to talk about social.overheid.nl, the Dutch gov Mastodon instance. :mastodon:

@_elena @oscl @paolo btw I had the honor of meeting the OSPO of the country of Trinidad and Tobago yesterday, which was so incredibly cool. They're doing great things over there, glad they were invited to the EU OSPO network 🥳

The Open Source Conference Luxembourg has started! 🥳🥳

@_elena and I are organising the Decentralized and Federated track. It's in Building D, come say hi! 👋

This years @oscl brings together governments, lots of open source projects, and even the UN!

Compliments to @paolo for the excellent organisation! 👏

If anyone has any "I deleted prod on a Monday morning, and the world is still turning" stories, that would be great. I feel awful.

Yall the way that I had been looking forward to the Drupalcon Government Summit panel for a month, only to now be violently ill since last night. 😕

Should I move to Berlin? #Berlin #Deutschland

"I don't know how much German I still remem- OOH BRÖTCHEN" 🗣🇩🇪

Nice work Switzerland! 👏👏

European governments are starting to support alternative mobile app stores, such as @fdroidorg , for their government-built apps.

Next up, government issued (fair)phones for civil servants that come with an open OS and open app store? 🚀
