ALASCA aims for strengthening digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe through the development of joint open source projects.\n\nMore information can be found here: https:\/\/alasca.cloud\/en\/alasca-is-born\/<\/p><p>Digital sovereignty made in Europe through the use of open source software: In order to come closer to the determined goal of helping Europe achieve digital sovereignty, concrete solutions tailored to practical problems are needed. The consistent use of open source software and technical know-how for IT infrastructures is one of the key levers in this process. It is based on a common will to develop and design, benefits the general public and, unlike proprietary software, is not subject to any user restrictions. With ALASCA (ALliAnce for Sovereign Cloud InfrAstructures), the seven founding companies are now announcing the founding of the association in the premises of Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies in Dresden, which is dedicated to the operability and (further) development of the most diverse cloud projects based on said free software. Part of the guiding principles is also to fulfil a general-benefit mission to pass on the know-how developed in the association to achieve digital sovereignty. Examples such as Yaook (Yet another OpenStack on Kubernetes), a lifecycle management tool for OpenStack and SecuStack, impressively show that there is a practical need and that associations such as ALASCA are imperative. With Yaook, the association already has a significant project that is in line with the Foundation's ambitious goals - further projects are to follow and thus steadily advance digital sovereignty.<\/p><p>\"The open source idea is in the DNA of our association. Free software and open partner network - together with our founding members, we will efficiently bring together and further develop existing know-how. We at Cloud&amp;Heat are pleased to be able to give new impetus and radiance to the topic of free digital infrastructures with ALASCA,\" says Dr Marius Feldmann, COO and Co-Founder of the founding member Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies.<\/p><p><strong>Digital Sovereignty for Europe: Open Source Software and Networks<\/strong><\/p><p>In addition to the Saxon cloud service and technology provider Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies, secunet Security Networks and the joint venture secustack, the founding members include STACKIT, the digital brand of Schwarz IT, Cyberus Technology, an innovative IT security company from Dresden, D3TN, a developer of communication solutions and the Slovakian cloud specialist dNation. Each of the founding members brings individual, beneficial contributions to the new foundation - from in-depth development and operational experience to dissemination and a strong network - to realise the shared vision of interdisciplinary and interoperable open source. The community idea is emphasised and is a declared goal, as the orientation of the association also shows: The activities are not limited to the association's own members. The activities are not limited to the association's members. Companies, organisations and other actors who live and spread the guiding principles of open source and digital sovereignty are also addressed. The path to knowledge exchange and the further development of existing resources is open to them.<\/p><p>\"At ALASCA, the focus is on collaborative cooperation 'at eye level' across national and corporate borders. We combine the individual strengths and competencies of our members and external developers to create an innovative space for future-oriented open source networks and digital transformation,\" says Stefan Herold, Managing Director Strategy &amp; Business Management at STACKIT.<\/p><p>Werner Haas, CTO of Cyberus Technology, adds: \"We see the special charm of ALASCA in the fact that the members cover the entire spectrum of the cloud. Here, developers of hardware-related system software meet operators of thousands of individual computers, and experts in securing IT infrastructure talk to providers who have to serve millions of customer requests every day.\"<\/p><p><strong>Today's experts and tomorrow's know-how<\/strong><\/p><p>In order to build up this network that learns from each other, experts in the field of open source (e.g. for Yaook) are also to be established within the framework of ALASCA, who will carry out training and examinations in the future and thus make the level of knowledge and experience verifiable. The association is currently working on corresponding certifications in order to maintain the high quality standards. Against the backdrop of the constant increase in computing power, ALASCA is building an important bridge between the lack of supply and the demand for skilled workers in the IT sector with its aspired expert certification. Complementary association offer: In order to consolidate the existing experts and constantly network future contacts, both internal and external events (e.g. summits) will complement the exchange and educational mission within the framework of public relations work. Here, too, the non-profit status is in the foreground.<\/p><p><strong>Press contact ALASCA:<\/strong><br \/>Represented by Franziska Feldmann, Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies<br \/>E-mail: <a
