Our three guests on today’s episode are directors at three different companies, each representing one of the six members of the European Open Source Consortium (EOSC). Fredrik Svensson is CBDO at Redpill Linpro and cofounder of Swedish Redpill. Jean-Philippe Balança is international director at Smile in France, one of the largest European companies within open source. Peter Ganten is founder and CEO of Univention in Germany, and co-founder of two open source associations, the Open Source Business Alliance and APELL.
They’re all engaged in open source, and EOSC aims to:
– Promote open source software and solutions across Europe
– Strengthen European digital sovereignty
– Coordinate resources, projects, and expertise across national borders
– Build joint projects, solutions, and standards with a clear European foundation
But why is this important, and why was this consortium started so recently? And why does collaboration across all of Europe matter? Tune in to this episode for all the answers.
