Europe is debating digital sovereignty – but how sovereign is our open-source infrastructure really?

When core platforms like Hugging Face or GitHub remain under U.S. control, open source can only serve as a limited alternative to the hyperscalers.

His talk explores the current landscape and outlines ways to shape open source as a truly European ecosystem.
