"The German government has launched a new Open Source software project called openDesk, which aims to reduce the country’s dependency on proprietary software vendors and support transparency and interoperability.

openDesk is a collection of #OpenSource software modules that are important for day-to-day work in the public sector, such as text creation, file collaboration, project management, email, calendar and messaging."

United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) has selected #Element as its #secure communications platform, following a competitive #tender process.

Element stood out as a digitally sovereign platform which offers end-to-end #encryption. Its ability to be #federated to support multiple organisations was also a key factor in the #selection process.

#UNICC will self-host Element through an Element Enterprise subscription.

UK #government prescribes #opensource in public procurement

One of the key policy reforms in the playbook is to be open and use open source software whenever possible, saying “Software should be open-source and designed to allow access in a platform-agnostic way.” In addition to open source, the guidelines also recommend using open standards for government data and technology.

"April 15th, 2024, in the Top 10 Most Secure Mobile Phones to Buy in 2024, the cybersecurity-focused firm Efani, has ranked Purism Librem 5 as as the #1 most secure phone for the year 2024."

And yes, I have a #Librem5 #Linux phone. I'm using it as my daily phone for nearly two years. It is great to be totally in control of your phone, and to have total #freedom to use your phone the way you like.

Kom op @PartijvoordeDieren, waarom is het #Mastodon-account nog steeds inactief, maar wordt er ondertussen wel via #meta geadverteerd?

Uit het programma:

"Digitale rechten, zoals het recht op #privacy, zelfbeschikking en zelfontplooiing, worden leidend in onze omgang met digitale technologie."

"Apps die de privacy niet kunnen waarborgen worden verboden."

"#OpenSource-projecten bieden veel kansen om kennis en informatie te delen."

Is it possible to have a URL on #mastodon that will immediately show all profiles on a specific instance, for example on npo.nl?

Something like this: https://social.npo.nl/directory, but than with "From npo.nl only" automatically selected?

Duitse #overheid ziet #Firefox als enige veilige browser.

Stel bij de Nederlandse overheid ook Firefox als standaardbrowser in, in plaats van dat vermaledijde Edge, wat tot nog meer vendor lock-in leidt.

Neem deze analyse mee voor DWR Next @minbzk, want Firefox is ook #opensource, en het beleid is Open tenzij.

Very sad to learn that #Mozilla Location Service (#MLS) is winding down.

Even more that this this is partially a result of #softwarepatents.

Will someone step up to take this over? Maybe the some organizations or companies supporting software #freedom could step up?

I think here of maybe organisations like: @NGIZero, @sovtechfund, @purism.

Do you have any suggestions?

Let's stay out of the power of #surveillance #capitalistic #bigtech.

Exactly two years ago, I started a one week #Librem5 field trial. Since then I have been using a Librem 5 #Linux #phone as my daily phone.

Here is a small blog post with more information: https://janvlug.org/blog/two-years-of-daily-librem-5/

My intention is to write some more post in the near future. Let me know if there is a specific topic that you would like me to write about.

Europese Commissie doet Microsoft 365 in de ban

"Per 9 december dit jaar mogen de instellingen en organen van de Europese Unie niet meer werken met Microsoft 365. Tenzij de Europese Commissie voor genoemde datum kan aantonen dat data buiten de EU verantwoord worden verwerkt. Dat is de uitkomst van een onderzoek door de Europese Toezichthouder op de Gegevensbescherming (EDPS)."
