@fsfe Are you aware of @civio's work about opening the source for a public program, BOSCO? I think it aligns with the #publiccode campaign. They've recently been on the Spanish Supreme Court fighting for it.

In case you're not, here are some links (in Spanish):
- How we've defended at the Supreme Court the transparency of public algorithms: civio.es/novedades/2025/07/08/
- Bono-social tag at Civio's blog: civio.es/tag/bono-social/

Have a good day!

CivioAsí hemos defendido en el Supremo la transparencia de los algoritmos públicosSin acceso al código fuente, “¿cómo pueden los jueces controlar a las administraciones públicas y cómo podrá la ciudadanía conocer cómo se toman las decisiones?”, ha argumentado Javier de la Cueva, abogado de la fundación, en la vista oral. Ahora toca esperar a la sentencia.

It's now basically impossible to log in to @EUCommission portal if you use GNU/Linux or other libre platforms.
The "EU Login Mobile App" is closed-source, which I refuse to install. No passwd or libre OTP option available.
It's a disgrace that the #EU forces their citizens to use propietary, closed source operating systems and applications.
Now we can not update news or releases of #GNUhealth in OSOR/JoinUP/Interoperable Europe until they change this rubbish portal. And we've been there since 2011.

Instead of digital dependencies, we need transparent, resource-efficient, and sovereign IT infrastructures. The key? Open source software.

Open source enables:

▪️ Long-lasting IT systems
▪️ Circular economy in development
▪️ Full data sovereignty and transparency

Platforms such as OpenCloud are already demonstrating how sustainable digitalization can be achieved in practice.

✨ European open source deserves the spotlight

Choosing local, open alternatives means you stay in control, not some global megacorp.

If digital sovereignty matters to you (and it should), now’s the time to support the ecosystem.

We’ve put together a list of EU-built tools that respect your rights and your data.
