Open Source and Open Standards for Digital Sovereignty

Open Source Software and Open Standards – especially document formats – are of key importance for the digital sovereignty strategies of individuals, companies, organisations and governments.

This situation can only be overcome by moving from proprietary to open source software and from proprietary to open standards.
