Open standards define how systems communicate, how data flows, and how secure and accessible our digital infrastructure is.
The Sovereign Tech Agency is looking at ways to better support maintainers and contributors working on these standards, building stronger, more interoperable digital ecosystems.

In our latest blog post, we explain our motivation for engaging in standards, reflect on conversations with maintainers, and outline the reasoning behind our current survey. The survey is still open and we encourage you to contribute your perspective.

Filing this under "Capitalists do capitalism and they do not care about anything beyond profit and growth."
They don't care about the climate, your creativity, your privacy, your humanity, your rights, equality, etc. It's all marketing and they'll drop it the second it benefits their profit.
Begin your move to #FreeSoftware #FOSS. Don't feed their growth machine.

Do you care about Free software and mobile devices (particularly Android)?
Do you want to help drive and sustain the @fdroidorg project?
Why not volunteer to join the board of F-Droid for a couple of years, and make a personal difference!
Nominations are open, closing 16 March.

I posted on this notion of #SOSS before, with a meme attached..
https://social.coop/@smallcircles/115399465970544831
There's nothing wrong with #FOSS, but it only provides part of the solution as long as the #Sustainability angle is not given due attention to.
Esp. with disruptive inhumanely introduced #AI #LLM technologies, new major threats to the #FreeSoftware community are surfacing, and giving attention to this subject matter is more important than ever.
Being "commons based" means being able to sustain responsible, healthy evolution and natural growth.

Let's zoom in on a particular area of the commons: the #FreeSoftware movement and their #FOSS deliverables, where a strong #WorkingInPublic credo dominates. The noble focus is on offering open technologies, software and systems. But in their quest to uphold #SoftwareFreedom the overlooked aspect is #sustainability. The ability to not only sustain oneself, but also by extension the creative #commons one is part of. The commons is an entirely chaotic grassroots environment with very specific social dynamics that are not properly accounted for. Instead top-down "herding of cats" governance models that work in regular business environments, are attempted. These may work, but only in small organizational settings, and NOT at scale where they break down.
FOSS in this definition is NOT commons-based. For that we need #ChaordicCommons where FOSS is the deliverable and #SOSS initiatives the engines of delivery, #FSDL (Free software development lifecycle) supply chains.
