SFP#42: Policy and EU: The answer for a digital sovereign future must be Free Software

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of Free Software in achieving digital sovereignty for public institutions.

Although 42 is the answer for everything we tried to get it into helping us to achieve digital sovereignty in the public infrastructure. However there is an answer out there: digital sovereignty is only possible by empowering people and, therefore public institutions, to control their technology and own infrastructure.
