Linux Foundation Europe

The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) announced expanded membership and new global policy resources during its Community Day Europe event. The announcement, distributed by the Linux Foundation via PR Newswire, highlights the foundation's growing base of participating organizations and its effort to provide guidance on open source security policy worldwide. Further details about the new members and resources were not included in available coverage.

A new Linux Foundation Europe report finds digital sovereignty is now a central driver of European technology strategy, with organisations across the region prioritising control over their digital infrastructure. However, the report highlights major hurdles: fragmented governance frameworks and growing strain around AI development and regulation complicate efforts to build independent, open source-based European tech capacity.

Linux Foundation Europe's general manager has called on Europe to increase its funding of open source software, arguing the continent should 'step up' its investment in the technology underpinning much of the digital economy. The remarks were made in an interview with The Stack. They come amid growing European focus on digital sovereignty and reducing dependence on non-European technology providers.
