Another day of getting paid to yap about open source and digital sovereignty 🥳

This years Nexus Forum is about European Cloud alternatives, open standards, and the EU's Sovereign Cloud Framework.

The people from IPCEI-CIS, EuroStack, Gaia-X, and ECOFED, all building a European, decentralized and federated cloud environment, are also here 🔥🔥

I spoke a bit about:

- open source and digital sovereignty
- our current National Cloud policy
- that we're excited about the EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework because it gives us a means to assess how digitally sovereign cloud providers and solutions are
- that we need to improve our gov procurement and sourcing and how this framework helps
- that we're esp excited about the prospect of a decentralized and federated European cloud ☁️

March 2026 there's going to be a summit in Rotterdam where IPCEI-CIS and ECOFED are going to present their progress so far in building this EU based, federated, decentralized cloud environment. It's such a cool concept 🤯
