New decentralised paradigms for online infrastructures [4.5.7.2]

The USA and China both have their own online platforms for mail/messaging, (social) media, business, commerce and cloud services. These services are run by Internet conglomerates such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft in the USA, and in China the Alibaba Group, Baidu and Tencent. Even Russia has its own conglomerates and platforms, e.g. the Mail.ru Group (which also owns ICQ, Odnoklassniki and VKontakte), Rambler and Yandex.

Despite their geo-economic differences, the underlying model for all of these services is similar: a highly centralised platform economy/ecosystem built as a walled garden, bringing together very large numbers of users, network effects,{footnote}Rufus Pollock, founder of the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) calls these 'platform effects' in his 2018 book 'The Open Revolution' (as discussed in section <7.1.17>).{/footnote} and surveillance capitalism or (state) mass surveillance.

Even though Europe has many platform companies, it lacks this type of large, powerful Internet conglomerate. European citizens and organisations have traditionally piggybacked on US-based platforms.

Development of a Funding Mechanism for Sustaining Open Source Software for European Public Services

Working with the newly established Open Source Programme Office (OSPO) of the European Commission on the development of a funding mechanism to sustain the critical open-source software used in the European sector, as well as innovation of new open-source software created by individuals, startups and micro communities who are currently not supported financially. Non-financial sustainability issues and possible solutions are an integral part of this exercise.

This project is part of the Commission's new Open Source Software Strategy 2020-2023 'Think Open'. The Open Source Programme Office (OSPO) at DIGIT is the facilitator of this strategy and action plan, involving all directorates-general.

EU-FOSSA 2

The EU-FOSSA project – short for Free and Open Source Software Auditing – aims to increase the security and integrity of critical open-source software. It was launched by the European Commission at the instigation of the European Parliament after the discovery of the Heartbleed bug in 2014.

Following the success of the initial pilot, the project was renewed for another three years. EU-FOSSA 2 builds on the pilot project by extending the auditing of free and open-source software through setting up bug bounty programmes, organising hackathons and conferences, and engaging with developer communities. In addition, EU-FOSSA 2 expanded its scope to a wider range of software projects and communities.
