   Every year at FOSDEM and every day on the internet you can meet thousands of people working on the #OpenGlobalStack, the commons of software, united through open licensing, even if we never had such an explicit big plan. Bottom-up, decentralised solutions will always be more sustainable than top-down IMHO.

     IMHO: Open Source and Free Software is global, transnational by definition. Our communities should be open to everyone willing to participate. This is why I always am weary of projects like these "national clouds" or "national operating systems" from a few years ago (that went nowhere) or, the newest, the #EuroStack project that promotes an isolationist approach while claiming to embrace Open Source/Free Software. You can't be one without the other, folks.
