"The Geopolitics of Code: From Digital Sovereignty to Global Fragmentation" At #FOSDEM2026, Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar, PhD and Jesus Gonzalez-Barahona took to the Main Track to highlight a hard truth: Open Source is at a crossroads. While it is the backbone of the global economy, it faces existential risks: ⚠️ The Weaponization of Open Source: Jurisdictional control over key platforms is becoming a geopolitical tool (the "Chokepoint" effect). 💸 Chronic Underinvestment: Critical components are maintained by small, under-resourced teams, leaving the global supply chain vulnerable. 🗺️ National Fragmentation: The rise of domestic stacks and repositories reduces the interoperability and shared visibility that make OSS resilient. At Bitergia, we believe that data and transparency are the only ways to navigate this. Without a shared responsibility between developers, industry, and policymakers, we risk a weaker, fractured ecosystem. We need a call to action to keep open source secure, interoperable, and globally accessible. 📸 by Mike Gifford #FOSDEM #OpenSource #Bitergia #DigitalSovereignty #SoftwareSupplyChain #GeopoliticsOfCode #OSSCommunity

Summary of my FOSDEM26: - ✅ I had a coffee with John Hall!. I studied his work a long time ago. - ✅ I saw Jesus Gonzalez-Barahona and Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar, PhD, presenting in the main track (Janson) - ❤️🔥Many people reminded us that what we've been doing these years at Bitergia has helped the open source community to go one step beyond Not bad at all 🤓
