“I’m delighted to announce #PeterThiel is joining #YC as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.

In addition to founding #PayPal and #Palantir and being the first investor in #Facebook, Peter has been involved with many of the most important #technology companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through #FoundersFund, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of #strategic #advice.” — Sam Altman, 2015.

Seriously - free #strategic advice for every government: Do not build infrastructure on systems over which you have no control.

"but we have a contract"

Cool cool are you able to change business decisions within the contracted party? Probably no. You have a risk you simply cannot control or mitigate.

This is why #FOSS should be at the heart of all national digital infrastructures.

I created the fist issue for the #OpenLLM #Europe #manifesto on GitHub:

Move to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) infrastructure

I suggest to move the software development to a real Free and Open Source Software (#FOSS) hosting platform, to ensure #strategic #autonomy and #digital #sovereignty. With starting the project on GitHub, the fist step towards vendor lock-in has been set.
