Di sovranità digitale abbiamo tanto bisogno

Leading figures from Europe’s open source ecosystem have been recognised for their contributions to Europe’s digital sovereignty, skills and competitiveness as part of the European Open Source Awards

Die European Open Source Awards sind ein jährlich stattfindendes europäisches Auszeichnungsprogramm, das herausragende Beiträge zu Open-Source-Software und -Hardware in Europa öffentlich würdigt.

Dr Jenny Molloy received Special Recognition for Advocacy and Awareness at the 2nd Annual European Open Source Awards, held in Brussels.

Lors de la cérémonie des European Open Source Awards 2026, Stefano Zacchiroli, professeur à Télécom Paris, a été distingué, aux côtés de Roberto Di Cosmo, chercheur à l’Université Paris-Diderot/INRIA, par une Special Recognition for Community Impact pour leur initiative Software Heritage.

This recognition for Nextcloud as an open source solution with meaningful economic and societal value would not have been possible without the support of our community.

Brüsszelben adták át a 2026-os European Open Source Awards díjait, amelyek az európai nyílt forráskódú közösség kiemelkedő teljesítményeit ismerik el.

I had a chance to sit down with some of the 2026 Open Source Award winners including Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman, Open Science Hardware advocate Jenny Molloy, and Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek to talk about their projects, the awards, and the work that they're doing!
