Mastodon, I need your help! As more European countries and orgs look to ditch US technology and move to sovereign or open source alternatives, I'm trying to track these efforts.
So far, I've found more than half a dozen government agencies, cities, orgs, that are embracing digital sovereignty but want to hear about other examples that I've missed. Who else should I be adding to this?
Here's a list of what I have so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yF0yznwPWuEqI2rJi54KFTIWu0yYYVkhVDRtmuy3D2w/edit?usp=sharing
@mattburgess gendariemes in #france switched to #linux. Apparently they never looked 'hack'. lol.
Thanks btw. Saved.
PS: have many non-profits made the switch? Any examples?

Proton is under U.S. jurisdiction. Look up their terms and they list only 2 countries, Swizerland and the United States.
If you're looking to share documents, I would suggest Infomaniak.
@NetscapeNavigator infomaniak requires government ID on signup. Not a privacy focused company despite their marketing speak.

This is just one municipality, but there are more moving.
Kommunen faset ut en rekke amerikanske IT-systemer: «Det har vært relativt enkelt»
Da Ishøj kommune i fjor ble rammet av store prisøkninger fra en rekke amerikanske IT-leverandører, besluttet man å fase ut flere sentrale systemer.

@mattburgess I wish more would consider adopting the Haystacks Tech platform, and our scripting language HayScript, and our dev-ecosystem! I have invested over $1.1M of my own money into building all of this so far, without AI!! Human hands, hand crafted software!! https://youtu.be/Rd13XD4lI1U?si=meReKZsyAYROXLCH

Hmm, I signed up without government id. Maybe it depends on which country you are signing up from?

This year we will see more and more of this. Change is in the air!

@older @mattburgess Yes of course I read before I respond. You see the original post contains an "OR" which to my understanding as a programmer and according to programmer logic is a non-exclusive "OR", or shall I say an inclusive "OR". And the statement immediately following this "OR" is the worda "Open Source". Considering my company is 90% open source, including an open source dev platform, an open source scripting language, and an open source typing tutor. I determined this qualifies.

Still not sure you read it. OP is not looking for alternatives or anything like that. He's looking for examples of European countries and orgs ditching US technology.
Do you consider your US-based company to be a European country or organisation? In that case it qualifies, of course. -

In that case it qualifies, of course.@older @mattburgess In that case the text in the original post should have read: "As more European countries and orgs look to ditch US technology and move to sovereign AND open source alternatives...", meaning sovereign AND open source to incidate not one or the other, but both. In any event, our dev platform, scripting language and runtime environment is still sovereign as their is no exclusive central authority in which case we still would qualify. Our platform is about to become US illegal.
