Vouloir créer un "champion européen" sur le modèle des Big Tech américaines, "ça n'a pas de sens". Dans #Next , @opheliecoelho revient sur les enjeux de l'autonomie numérique française et européenne.
Au passage, elle souligne que Campus IA "est un projet d’impérialisme technologique". "Un data center de ce type revient à créer un comptoir sur son territoire, comptoir qui sert de passerelle" aux technologies américaines qui tirent la course à l'intelligence artificielle.

"The Open Source Way to Digital Sovereignty & Competitiveness", a new version of my presentation about the OSS roadmap published by the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud, delivered yesterday live in Brussels at the NexusForum.EU conference.
https://speakerdeck.com/sfermigier/the-open-source-way-to-digital-sovereignty
Some figures: 6 major benefits of OSS, 5 "gaps", 5 "pillars", 70 propositions, a controversial definition of "European Open Source solutions", 6 reasons for companies to invest in Open Source.
Myth: It's a "Fortress Europe" plan costing trillions.
Fact: It’s about resilience via open standards, funded by redirecting the €264B Europe already sends to foreign tech giants annually.
Myth: The "kill switch" is paranoia.
Fact: The US has already forced its companies to cut off services to entire countries as a tool of foreign policy.
Let's cut through the FUD surrounding Europe's push for digital sovereignty. Critics are trying to derail the conversation with misleading claims. Here's the reality check:

Le logiciel libre : un enjeu de sécurité européenne
"Pour assurer la sécurité future de l’Europe, une politique européenne du logiciel libre est nécessaire. On se fait souvent une image fausse de ce sujet, réduit à un usage sympathique de gratuité hors marché...."

There are no “Degrees of Open”: why Openness is binary
In conversations around Open Source AI, a familiar idea keeps surfacing: that “openness is a spectrum.” It sounds convenient, especially when trying to reconcile proprietary data or partially open models with the ideals of Open Source. But let’s be clear: this is a flawed premise—and one the Open Source community must push back on.

The upcoming report on European Technological Sovereignty and Digital Infrastructure (2025/2007(INI)) is generating strong interest. Members of ITRE have tabled 464 amendments.
Here are a few amendments that stand out, in our opinion, as particularly interesting or promising. They reflect a strong push for decentralised cloud and edge infrastructures based on open-source federated tech stacks, as well as a clear emphasis on EU jurisdiction and sovereignty

@EUCommission If costs could be even just partially covered for renegotiating contracts and implementing EU alternatives to foreign B2B solutions, it would have a huge impact on our economies and resilience.
Partnering with realities such as @eurostack would help a lot.
Are large US tech companies a threat to European sovereignty? Yes, for a majority of Europeans, and 75% of the French.
