Gemeinsam Open-Source-Apps entwickeln, um Europas Digitale Souveränität zu stärken – das stand vom 2. – 4. Juni im Mittelpunkt der #HackDays in Paris mit besonderem Fokus auf kollaborative Tools für die tägliche Zusammenarbeit.
Neben dem ZenDiS nahm auch unser openDesk-Partner #OpenProject am Hackathon teil: @openproject integrierte Task-Management-Features zwischen dem von @dinum und uns entwickelten #Docs und seiner eigenen Projektmanagement-Anwendung – und gewann die Zweitplatzierung

"States must actively participate in the development of their regalian digital tools" and it "requires a holistic strategy encompassing" says @FrPellegrini during the last keynote.

“Machines don’t hallucinate. They produce crap!”
“I cannot say AI. I say algorithmic processing.”
“Unpaid work is not a valid business model”
“Development work is central but not sufficient”
“BTW I work in informatics, not in computer science. Astronomers don’t do telescope science.”
Money quotes by Prof. Pellegrini at #hackdays @numerique_gouv
@sovtechfund nice getting to know your work through Adriana Groh's keypoint at #hackdays. Just so you know : link to "read more" is broken.
„It is not about lines of code. It is about lines of meaning!“
What a passionate prep talk!
And now let’s see the finalists presenting their pitches!
It’s starting #hackdays! Warm welcome words by Stéphanie Schaer… already mentioning the international dimension of our Open Source initiative. Big ambitions from the first minute. Merci for having us! @openproject #HackingBorders
2 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: A part of the team arrived already in Paris. The planning of the work started in the public Gitlab at https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/issues/?label_name=hackdays2025
@rriemann brought an old Thinkpad X220 (released 2011) that will serve as a test device until a more modern device has been found!
3 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: How many hours do you use your #Windows office computer per day? For 6h in front of the computer, this makes 6h·20d·11=1320h per year: Time that users spent in an ecosystem entirely controlled by few powerful, rich people in other countries.
And more and more, #Windows wants to increase this control and extract value for its shareholders. Change of license models to extract annual rents, forced upgrades to #Windows11, etc. 1/2
4 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: project lead Robert and few supporters start already the weekend before to increase the chances to have a working Proof-of-Concept by the end of Tuesday. Learn more at https://eu-os.eu 1/2
For a sovereign digital Europe, collaboration between public institutions and open source communities is key.
Next week, we’ll join #HackDays in Paris (June 2–4), organized by #DINUM.
Our goal: integrate task management into #Docs, the French open source note-taking tool.

5 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: The architecture for EU OS must permit a migration phase in which both #Microsoft #Windows and EU OS run in parallel (hybrid setup). This way, organisations can do tests with only few of their staff (e.g. developers/engineers) while keeping everything as is for e.g. HR/business-critical functions. In principle, staffers may also have a Windows and an EU OS laptop at the same time. 1/2
6 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: EU OS is a so-called atomic operating system that offers interruption free software updates thanks to #bootc (bootable container) technology. While people work, bootc downloads and installs unnoticeable to the user the update. After the next computer restart (trigged by the user), EU OS switches to the new version. If something breaks, the user can roll back. 1/2
7 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: #EU_OS has a great team setup to test the architecture for a Linux-on-the-desktop setup. Feel free to comment with your experience if you have some!
