ElectOS uses open source to restore trust in voting machines
Failing voting technology infrastructure in the U.S. is a clear and present danger to democracy. 43 States must replace their obsolete systems by 2020, or renew existing contracts for another decade. There is no commercial incentive to innovate, making election integrity a gamble dependent on black-box proprietary systems with well-known vulnerabilities. This short video summarizes the dangers.

An Open Letter to All European Ministers
Esteemed Ministers,
On 27 May the Competitiveness Council in Brussels announced a European decision to achieve Open Access to all scientific research data by 2020. This decision, and the implementing European framework programme for research and innovation Horizon 2020, will be recognized by future generations as the first serious step toward the creation of a prosperous world at peace. With this one decision Europe is turning away from centuries of war and waste; away from scientific reductionism, away from corporate ownership of public knowledge, away from legal barriers to innovation, and away from government neglect of the public interest.
