 Thank you so much for having me here Well, that's we had lots of interesting content already and more to come after after my talk I will try to to intern 10 new for the next 10 minutes on Mostly addressing two topics two important topics the first one has already been addressed this morning It's about how open source is important for Europe and the second one is how We can see European gaining leadership with open source I will be very fast on that one because It has everything has been said today about this so my my only comment is that okay software as it in the world and At the same time open source became the foundation not only for open source software But also for modern business and I have a bit a bit more to say about about it One one aspect is that okay? Everybody is using tons of open source so that developers can focus on well the 10% of additional values that their customers or users care about and That that means that okay open source saves cost reduces time to market and Also mitigates risks because we we can leverage well-known pre-built blocks That that has been discussed today But that's that's really when we talk about open source sometimes we forget that it's really about the four rules to study Well use sorry use I'm lost Use study modify and freely redistribute your modifications That's that's very fundamental Simon fifth from from OSI said it said it this morning and And we really need to stick about it. We to stick to it. We had lots of Talks about the Sierra and how we are concerned by the Sierra because it it it the concern is about the redistribution of Software but but really we need to keep this Distribute this capability to freely distribute software because that's that's a better way to do to do business Just to come back to to what we do at the eclipse foundation We our mission is is really two-fold we foster our open source projects and communities and also we foster the commercial ecosystem on top of our projects so that we really work on enabling profitable commercial adoption of free software We don't think that everything has to be open source We think that everything that is in open source should be of good quality and should be well managed in open source and that and that's very important because that enables Companies to have to set up business models to create products on top of open source one thing we mentioned open washing today and I think that One day we all have examples in mind of companies who have been claiming that they are good citizens of open source and at some point Decided to to close their software and I think that we as a group we need to to take care of that and to make sure that We identify this whether it's as user of technologies and and we we do whatever we can To make sure that we don't fall in the trap another aspect I would like to to approach that as That's that's really the idea that open source enables the free flow of technology During the break I was asked so what do you think about? Restricting open source to Europe or something like that. We we know that it's not a thing European open source is not a thing. What is important is is really to to ensure that open source Can is a is a collaboration framework for worldwide and global collaboration and You know we need to We need to to think about how Europe can lead more in open source and that certainly not by putting barriers or by restricting the how we do how we do open source Here I would like to tell you, you know, that's that's a diagram from the from the Study from open form Europe and and from offer that was published two years ago I think what's nice in this diagram is that we see that on github at least the the participation of European companies or European citizen has been growing steadily over the last ten years and That's good. That's great what what I Heard also in this study is that it's mostly coming from from small companies And I think that that's an issue That's an issue we need to we need to address because I really believe that we will be successful with open source Only if we manage to to really involve involve the the large companies We need the large companies to embrace open source and and that's a European large companies because if you think about it, we are all consuming open source that comes from Individuals small companies and large companies, but today the the real contributors are large software companies and I think that in Europe. We know we don't have really the large software companies in Europe That's not that's not a scoop, but we have lots of industry players and to come back to to these ideas at open source as it in the world The industry players have to care about open source because that's how they can consume software and how they can build software collaboratively so I I think that we need to make sure that large companies embrace open source and And that it will also be good news for the smaller actors for the SMEs because they are experts and they will get new business opportunities with those large companies So I have good news is that and I would like to illustrate that with with one of our current initiatives is that Some large companies start doing that some industry companies start doing that if you look at the logos We have lots of companies that are really Core Automotive companies industry core industry players. We have several OEMs We have several tier ones and some of them will be in the in the panel after me and That's the way they approach it is we Okay, we need to do something to build a software defined vehicle stack and We want to do it with a code first approach We want to do it with the open source way And if you look at what we have been doing in the last 18 months, it's really Organizing community days having people coming together to present their project having Organizing hackathon so that's really what has open source people We we think is the right way right way to do it and in in less than 18 months We have more than 30 members We have mostly the center of gravity is European maybe even German But we already have members from Asia and the US and and that's growing and this is not a toy That's really a place Where the automotive industry Collaborates to build software that will be in your cars that will take some time to get in your car but that's that's being built now and What's interesting is that it has been very fast? to establish the the full collaboration framework that was fast only because It was done by by working with a well-established open source foundation like us And that brings me to the role of open source foundation, which I think is important because sometimes especially in Europe When we talk about open source we we hear people Thinking okay, I will just push my code on github or githlab I will put a license on the code my developers will be happy because they can collaborate on on this communication platform and That's it but the point is that if you want to set up a collaboration between actors like that You need to to have to provide a governance. You need to provide a legal framework You need to to have an antitrust policy for example You need to have a community of practice and that requires processes to to ensure that you know the good principles of transparency openness meritocracy and vendor neutrality are implemented and That's that requires processes, but also some staff that knows how to do that because You know when you have even even when you have the processes even when you have everything there there will potentially be be some partners who want to play with the rules who want to you know just take advantage of the of the of the framework and The fight that we have also Experienced staff that has been doing that for four years It's it's really a condition to to save grab the the investments of the users of the technology because they know that the technology will be sustainable and also of the creators of the technology because They they know the rules they know how how to engage with such a community my last example is a Another initiative so that's To be honest, I don't like the name too much. That's the EU cloud edge IOT initiative. That's a bit long and you But but I like what we do in it. So that's that's part of horizon Europe that's supporting by by two coordination and support actions and and we support 45 projects in improving their approach to open source and We know we agree that cloud and IOT are dominated by open source and the goal is really to to innovate in solutions for for the continuum of of cloud to edge and I and IOT and How do we approach that from from our perspective is really the idea is really to push to To transform the part of the millions of heroes of research funding that is investing in invested in this 45 projects In leadership in edge to cloud continuum through through open source because I really believe that Of course in this domain at this level of the of the architecture Most most of the technologies will be open source. So if we found researchers and companies To innovate in this domain They have to publish their results in open source if they want to have a chance to to contribute to the to the next Software stack Otherwise, they will just in a few years from now She will just they will just put everything to trash and start consuming technologies that have been well prepared and well published and Under open source because they would be easier to consume. So my conclusion is On several points one point is Open source is good for business open source is also good for digital sovereignty and In terms of digital sovereignty, I would like to give you my perspective on it. I think that's The interesting aspect of open source is that you move the needle from having access to proprietary IP on one side To growing the skills to understand to use to master to evolve to create good open source software And I think that we really need to figure out. I know that 2023 is the year of skills in Europe We really need to figure out how to train Software developers in open source that should be a strong requirement my second aspect is that From policy point of view that's really important to incentivize organizations large organizations large companies small companies Universities to to produce open source to publish open source But not just to push it on a public repo just really to to also Think about the rules of engagement the rules of participation and Finally just just my own words about the CRA. We need to make sure that when we create Regulations, we don't hinder the capability to collaborate in open source I mean we should not be schizophrenic by pushing open source on one side and on the other side Setting up Regulations that limit the capability to redistribute open source software Because the more open source software we will create the better it will be for us in this software defined world Thank you
