Guardian Project @guardianproject@librem.one

**4/4**

I wrote *Gardens, Not Roads* last year about open source projects as communities of practice, not just codebases to maintain.

Their knowledge, relationships, and governance can't be reduced to individual fixes. Can commercial remediation strengthen those communities, or are we building parallel institutions whose priorities are set elsewhere?

"The United States has renewed a warning that it will not lower #tariffs on #EU steel products and a range of other goods unless #Brussels softens its enforcement of the #DigitalMarketsAct #DMA.

The European Commission relayed the message from the #Trump administration to EU capitals at a meeting last week, two people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO.

The European Commission declined to comment."

The PHP project has released fixes for the vulnerabilities.

We urge you to update to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35, released on 21.10.26.

Nextcloud AIO v14.4.1 and Nextcloud E-AIO v8.4.0 will include the updated PHP versions. We will publish these versions once the underlying base images are available.

Our goal cannot be trying to replicate Silicon Valley in Europe. We must build something better!

This is my take on European Digital Sovereignty.

We've been working diligently to get #FDroid Client ready for release.

If naming our releases 'alpha' or 'rc' impeded you to update, now you are free to install.

As usual we are exercising this as a stage roll-out, so you can now expand Versions and install 2.0.

If it's the first time, or even the n-th time, you've heard about our new client work, you can read all the gritty details in the 15 mins post: https://f-droid.org/2026/09/24/f-droid-2.0-a-new-chapter-for-android-freedom.html

To everyone involved in delivering 2.0, a sincere "Thank You!"
