SFP#38: Policy and EU: Free Software Software Stack(s)

During the debate on digital sovereignty, the term “software stack” started to float around. This term quickly started

to fill up with different ideas, and a discussion about it took root. Follow Alex and Bonnie in this episode to learn more

about Free Software Software stacks and their connection with public administration.

Software stacks do not advance digital sovereignty merely by avoiding US components, but they must be 100 % Free Software.

Find out, together with Alexander Sander and Bonnie Mehring, why it is so important that these stacks must be completely

Free Software and discover the current debates on this topic in the EU.
