I was not previously familiar with the concept of #DigitalPublicGood but it sounds very cool and much needed in these times we are living in.

@wikidata And congratulations on this as well!

"Earlier this year, in February, Wikipedia was recognized as a digital public good (DPG). Now, Wikidata follows in its footsteps – as the world’s largest open knowledge graph, used globally to build transparency, trust, and digital equity." […]

at UN Open Source Week, Mastodon was added to the Digital Public Goods Alliance’s #UNOpenSourceWeek

Mastodon is a digital public good This week is UN Open Source Week, and we’re happy to share that today, Mastodon was added to the Digital Public Goods Alliance’s DPG Registry. A goal of the DPGA is to promote digital public goods in order to create a more equitable world. Being recognised as a DPG increases the visibility, support for, and prominence of open projects that have the potential to tackle global challenges. To become a digital public good, all projects are required to meet the DPG Standard to ensure that they truly encapsulate open-source principles and what it means to be a digital public good. Digital public goods are defined as open source software, open standards, open data, open AI systems, and open content collections that adhere to privacy and other applicable best practices, do no harm, and are of high relevance for attainment of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Mastodon’s mission is to ensure that our online social spaces belong to the people forever, and provide a safe place for public discourse. Our vision is an open and safe social internet that encourages everyone to connect, create, feel welcome and be free to dream. We are part of the Fediverse, built on common shared standards, and an important element of digital public infrastructure (DPI). As concerns continue over the centralising power of legacy Big Tech platforms, Mastodon’s status as a recognised digital public good underscores the crucial role our project and software play in fostering democratic online spaces across the web. You can follow the Digital Public Goods Alliance on Mastodon at @DPGAlliance@mastodon.social. _For any enquiry regarding this announcement, please contactpress@joinmastodon.org. For more information on the Digital Public Goods Alliance please reach out to hello@digitalpublicgoods.net._

Mastodon is happy to be recognised as a #DigitalPublicGood by @dpgalliance - alongside many other incredible #OpenSource projects. Find out more in our blog post. #UNOpenSourceWeek

Talking about #DigitalPublicGood status for #TYPO3, I highlighted how we run projects creating local tech expertise and job opportunities. With #OpenSource, knowledge transfer, and local leadership, #DigitalInfrastructure projects can create true #DigitalSovereignty and independent business. #FOSS

TYPO3 was recently certified as a Digital Public Good. What does that mean for its community and for open source projects in general? We asked TYPO3 Project Ambassador Mathias Bolt Lesniak. Read the interview for more insights

#DigitalPublicGood is an important recognition for #TYPO3. Weight behind our words on the impact of #OpenSource and #FOSS. #DigitalSovereignty, #sustainability, employment opportunities, non-exploitative digitalization, #democracy, and #governance should be considerations when choosing a #CMS. #DPG

TIL that @qgis has been recognized as a #DigitalPublicGood :blobcatcool:
