Today, the United Nations announced the "UN Open Source Principles" – 8 practical ways for groups around the world to promote global digital cooperation through free and open source software.

✍️ Like software freedom itself, these principles are for everyone, everywhere - and the orgs you support can join a list of endorsers today.

I am so, so delighted by the continued work of the @matrix Governing Board members.

Building a new governing body is hard work and takes a great deal of care and intention. This group of elected representatives are proving themselves to be deeply caring and thoughtful.

Looking forward to seeing the GB issue its first post-meeting report, and to operationalizing our Working Groups in the coming months!
