"We build the future – software infrastructure and invisible bridges"
The final panel discussion for
"Eight years of Prototype Fund" in Berlin last Saturday.
I outline the complementary role of the Prototype Fund for innovation and socially meaningful open source development against that of the newly re-minted Sovereign Technology Agency for funding maintenance of existing critical open source infrastructure. The social criticality & sovereignty of 'infrastructure' can be examined through the lens of multiple levels of scale, from the personal, to regional, to the national and EU levels.
with Karolin Varner (Rosenpass), Adam Burns (sig0namectl) & Holger Levsen (Reproducible Builds)
