Description:
Michiel Leenaars, director of strategy at the NLnet Foundation , used his keynote at FOSDEM to sound warnings for
the community for free and open-source (FOSS) software; in particular, he talked about the threats posed by geopolitical politics, dangerous
allies, and large language models (LLMs). His talk was a mix of
observations and suggestions that pertain to FOSS in general and to
Europe in particular as geopolitical tensions have mounted in recent
months.
