Open Source Software: Innovation Through Collaboration
Freedom and Transparency ♻️ Open source software (OSS) makes it possible to view, change and share code. This promotes transparency and security and reduces dependencies.
Collaborative Development 🤝 OSS thrives on collaboration: developers around the world contribute to improving software, fixing bugs and ensuring ongoing innovation.
Cost-efficient and Flexible 📈 Unlike commercial software, OSS is often free to use and broadly customisable, making it a super cost-effective solution for organisations.
The Future of Open Source 🚀 With the rise of AI, blockchain, decentralisation, OSS continues to shape technology and ensure access and digital freedom for everyone.
Open Source Social Media: Freedom Instead of Control
Decentralised and Independent 🌐 Open Source Social Media (OSSM) offers an alternative to commercial platforms, without advertising, tracking or central control.
Transparency and Community 🤝 The open source code enables security, data protection and customisation, while the community actively works on improvements.
Let’s go to the Fediverse! 📈 Social networks in the Fediverse, such as Mastodon, Pixelfed and PeerTube, use open source technologies to make social media fairer.
Challenges and Opportunities 🗽 Although OSSMs have fewer users than large social networks, their influence is growing due to greater awareness of digital freedom.
