OpenInfra Foundation lanceert Europese hub om samenwerking tussen communities te versterken en bescherming van open source infrastructuur

Doel OpenInfra Europe is regionale veerkracht te bevorderen en input te coördineren over beleidskwesties om te verzekeren dat belangrijke open source infrastructuurtechnologieën blijvend open ontwikkeld worden

Brussel/Amsterdam, 14 juni 2023 - De OpenInfra Foundation heeft aangekondigd dat het regionale hubs gaat openen in Europa, te weten in België en Azië, met als doel open source communities en technologieën te promoten en te beschermen in deze regio's. Europa en Azië hebben de afgelopen jaren een snelle groei doorgemaakt bij OpenInfra Foundation en vertegenwoordigen momenteel respectievelijk 32,5% en 38,8% van de bij de OpenInfra Foundation aangesloten organisaties. In beide regio's zijn ook de uitdagingen voor open source en wereldwijde samenwerking toegenomen.

De OpenInfra Foundation geeft actief uiting aan haar bezorgdheid, onder andere over de huidige formulering die wordt voorgesteld in de EU Cyber Resilience Act met betrekking tot open source software. Het is een voorbeeld van regionaal beleid en regelgeving die, onbedoeld of opzettelijk, een negatieve invloed zouden kunnen hebben op open source infrastructure rtechnologieën. Andere voorbeelden zijn voorstellen voor het reguleren van de rol van open source in AI-technologie zoals ChatGPT. De regionale hubs zullen de OpenInfra community een juridische status geven om deel te nemen aan beleidsdiscussies en een sterker mechanisme om de invloed van de deelnemende organisaties te vergroten. Deelnemers aan OpenInfra Asia en OpenInfra Europe zullen samenwerken in:

- Het bevorderen van open source infrastructuur in de regio
- Het bespreken van regionale strategische kwesties
- Regionale feedback verzamelen en lokale standpunten naar voren brengen
- Coördinatie van lokale communities en evenementen
- Het uitvoeren van regionale business development en marktonderzoek
- Voorzien in lokale programma's voor het opleiden open source contributors

Founding participants van OpenInfra Europe zijn:
  • Alisys
  • Bitergia
  • Canonical
  • Cleura
  • Cloud & Heat
  • Cloudbase Solutions
  • ComponentSoft
  • Deutsche Telekom
  • Elastx

OpenInfra Foundation Launches Regional Hubs in Asia, Europe to Strengthen Community Coalitions, Protect Open Source Infrastructure as Threats to Global Collaboration Rise


OpenInfra Asia and OpenInfra Europe will foster regional resiliency and coordinate input on policy issues to ensure key open source infrastructure technologies continue to be developed in the open.


VANCOUVER, Canada, June 13, 2023 — OPENINFRA SUMMIT — The Open Infrastructure Foundation (OpenInfra Foundation) announced today that it has opened regional hubs in Europe and Asia in an effort to promote and protect open source communities and technologies in these regions where the OpenInfra community has rapidly expanded. The Asia and Europe regions have experienced rapid growth in recent years and currently represent 32.5% and 38.8% of OpenInfra Foundation member organizations, respectively. Both regions have also seen rising challenges to open source and global collaboration.

Thierry Carrez, general manager of the OpenInfra Foundation, shared the news in the opening keynote today at OpenInfra Summit, the organization’s global gathering. “The world has changed, and open source needs regional resiliency and action to ensure vital software technologies continue to be developed in the open,” he said. “Key regional issues have emerged, like digital sovereignty in the EU, that have created an opportunity for OpenInfra regional hubs to facilitate collaboration and discussion, coordinate responses, and give a voice to the concerns of the OpenInfra ecosystem.”

The OpenInfra Foundation is actively voicing concerns, including concerns over the current wording proposed in the EU Cyber Resilience Act with regard to open source software. It is an example of regional policies and regulations that could, whether inadvertently or intentionally, have a negative impact on open source infrastructure technologies. Other examples include proposals on regulating open source’s role in artificial intelligence technologies, like ChatGPT. Although advocating for open source has always been central to the mission of the OpenInfra Foundation, establishing regional entities will lend legal standing for the OpenInfra community to participate in policy discussions and a stronger mechanism for leveraging the influence of participating organizations.

OpenInfra Asia (based in Singapore) and OpenInfra Europe (based in Belgium) share the same purpose and mission as the OpenInfra Foundation. In particular, these regional hubs allow participants to engage in focused collaboration and provide a basis for coalition between industry, academia and government. Participants in OpenInfra Asia and OpenInfra Europe will join together in:
  • Advancing open source infrastructure in the region
  • Discussing regional strategic issues
  • Gathering regional feedback and elevating local voices
  • Coordinating local communities and events
  • Conducting regional business development and market research
  • Providing local programs for nurturing the next generation of open source contributors
“Open source has enjoyed an age of abundance—a decade of incredible success, marked by global expansion of contributors, widespread project adoption, and a thriving ecosystem that touches nearly every continent,” said Mark Collier, COO of the OpenInfra Foundation. “But now we're seeing new threats to open source coming from different regional regulations and reactionary attempts to limit who can contribute to or have access to technology. The OpenInfra community will be better able to respond rapidly and effectively to those types of threats and changes if we can act on a regional level. Creating OpenInfra Asia and OpenInfra Europe is a critical first step in what will be an evolving effort to build resiliency in our global community and to ensure that open infrastructure technology remains open to all.”

“Open source is at more risk today than it has ever been before,” added Jonathan Bryce, executive director of the OpenInfra Foundation. “That’s the catalyst for this proactive, strategic move to embed the OpenInfra ethos and organizational framework more deeply in key regions around the world. In a changing world where open source is under serious threat, not just from proprietary companies but also from governments, we must collaborate in new ways, such as creating legal entities that give our communities a voice and a seat at the table when decisions are being made that can change the world of open source as we know it.”
