Final reminder: The deadline for applications to join the #SovereignTechStandards network is Tuesday, 19 May 2026, at 23:59 CEST. Open standards shape the digital infrastructure we all rely on. But standards are only as good as the expertise behind them. https://www.sovereign.tech/programs/standards 1/ #SovereignTechAgency #DigitalInfrastructure #OpenStandards #FOSS #Maintainers

A bread recipe written without bakers may list the right ingredients but still fail in practice. The same is true for technical standards: when the people who create, test, and maintain #OpenSource software are absent from standards development, the results can become impractical or misaligned with the public interest. The #SovereignTechStandards network supports open source maintainers to participate in standards development at IETF, W3C, & ISO with financial support, training, & mentoring. 2/
