"#Europe cannot buy #sovereignty off a shelf, it has to build it. In an age of geopolitical volatility and rapid innovation Europe must play to its strengths, including world-leading researchers and a rich history of #opensource development. It faces a choice: use these strengths to carve out its distinct place in the global #AIecosystem or settle for copying the playbooks of already dominant actors."https://blog.okfn.org/2025/11/13/open-letter-harnessing-open-source-ai-to-advance-digital-sovereignty/

Good morning! I am looking for contract work. If you have 10-15 hours a week of work on a well defined technical project (‘we need to move 6 websites by this date’, ‘we need to hire a team to do an infra migration’, ‘we need to complete an accessibility audit and figure out next steps’, ‘we need to improve our docs / our onboarding process’), let me know. If you also need help getting to ‘well defined technical project’, I can also help!I am a technical product manager who likes to be the ‘glue’ in sticky technical situations and figure out how to come out of it with useful and usable software. I’m based in San Francisco but I also have years of experience working in Asia and Europe, and can navigate time zones / remote teams / cultures / communication styles. I have experience in working in open source. Send me an email: adrianna@futureethics.ai#GetFediHired #California #Asia #europe

@Craig it’s not a ban per se, but you need multiple permits and licenses, it has to be your primary residence, you need your property inspected by the city, you need to keep a guest registry, you need to submit quarterly reports, you have to collect sales and room taxes, etc. Essentially, they made it a giant PITA. Fines for violations are $1K per day!
