Digital government and open source policy/research. Senior Policy Advisor at at OpenForum Europe. Formerly with Public Digital and the Digital Impact Alliance. You can also ask me about coffee, bagels, improv, films, books and travel! Views my own.
Did you miss it? Check out @openforumeurope.org's latest report, where myself and co-authors call for an #EU Sovereign Tech Fund. With the absence of #OpenSource funding in the ongoing #MFF negotiations, it's important that the EU funds OSS maintenance and security work.

It's time we fund it as such.

Yesterday, I got to moderate a panel about #OSPOsForGood at #FOSSback in #Berlin! Great to share more about the work we did last year and this yearโs upcoming conference.
Register your interest for the #UNOpenSourceWeek this summer, which will be the week of 16 June: www.un.org/digital-emer...
I joined OFE as a #PolicyAdvisor about a year ago next week and it was a great decision. Open source policy is niche but needs more passionate people. Our team is small but mighty, and I can promise you it's a great place to work.
Apply soon, you won't regret it!

I spent this week with a multidisciplinary group of #academic and #practitioner researchers talking about #opensource at the OFA Symposium.
It rocked! Stay tuned for the recordings, presentations and papers, and for more info on the dates for OFEโs next OFA event. Itโs in a cool place, I promise!
Through my new role at OpenForum Europe, I am working with our NGI Commons colleagues to investigate the role of #DigitalCommons in the European #digital landscape. We're hosting a workshop in Amsterdam on 5 June to learn more and help shape our policy work! Join us! commons.ngi.eu/event/ngi-co...
