Kevin Dominik KorteWhen asking US companies if Chinese cloud service providers are secure, you get a clear no. Governance and legal challenges make ensuring security difficult.

Kevin Dominik KorteSeven years ago, Bulgaria mandated that all code developed by public entities should be open source. It was the first EU country to do so. Since then, all EU countries started to follow the path to digital sovereignty. In the future, I hope that not just custom code will be open source but all software used by the government. After all, public money should foster the public good.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#government</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/digitalsouvereignity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#digitalsouvereignity</a><a href="https://tomaszs2.medium.com/bulgaria-went-open-source-the-revisit-after-7-years-03e90a9cb0ec" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tomaszs2.medium.com/bulgaria-went-open-source-the-revisit-after-7-years-03e90a9cb0ec</a>
