The controversial mass surveillance of private messages in Europe is coming to an end. After the European Parliament had already rejected the indiscriminate and blanket Chat Control by US tech companies on 13 March, conservative forces attempted a democratically highly questionable maneuver yesterda

You did it! 🥳

European Parliament just decided that Chat Control 1.0 must stop.

This means on April 6, 2026, Gmail, LinkedIn, Microsoft and other Big Techs must stop scanning your private messages in the EU. #PrivacyWins 💪

In an important step for open science, CERN has been selected to host a new phase of Open Research Europe (ORE), an initiative supported by the European Commission and a new funding consortium of European national funding agencies and research organisations. Aligned with the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access (2022)[1], the initiative is a community-led alternative to traditional academic publishing. When the new ORE platform is launched later this year, authorship eligibility will be expanded to include researchers affiliated with institutions in the countries that participate in the consortium. Publishing will remain completely free for both European Commission-funded researchers and authors from participating countries. The aim is to promote equity, diversity and transparency in scholarly communication while maintaining high standards of quality and integrity. The ORE funding consortium currently comprises members from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland[2]. The European Commission participates as a permanent observer in the governance body and provides dedicated financial support. CERN will provide the technical and operational infrastructure for the platform, built on the open source software Open Journal Systems (OJS), while governance and editorial oversight will remain the responsibility of the ORE consortium. ORE follows the innovative publish–review–curate model, which promotes rigour and transparency in the publishing of research. Articles are first checked for integrity and compliance, then published and peer-reviewed openly. Peer-review reports are made public, and articles that successfully pass review are curated into subject-specific collections. This approach combines quality assurance with openness, while also enabling post-publication review. Launched by the European Commission in 2021 to provide beneficiaries of EU research programmes with a no-fee open access publishing platform[3], ORE was designed to make publicly funded research more transparent, accessible and sustainable through an innovative publishing model. In the five years since its launch, the platform has seen steady growth and uptake across the research community, with more than 1,200 articles published and over 6,300 authors from more than 3,000 institutions worldwide taking part. CERN’s role in operating ORE builds on its long-standing experience in developing and maintaining open science infrastructures and community-governed services for the global research community. By hosting ORE, CERN will provide a neutral, reliable and sustainable environment, drawing on expertise gained through flagship open science initiatives such as Zenodo, Invenio and SCOAP3. “For CERN, hosting Open Research Europe is a natural extension of our commitment to an open, community-led scientific infrastructure,” said Mar Capeáns, CERN Director for Site Operations. “The platform supports the rapid sharing of research, while reinforcing Europe’s ability to shape the future of scholarly communication.” “Open Research Europe is a strong example of a shared commitment to fostering the free flow of knowledge across the European Research Area and beyond”, stated Marc Lemaître, Director-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), European Commission. “By ensuring open access to high-quality research, ORE facilitates the circulation of the latest research findings and amplifies public trust in science. Today, as European research funders and research organisations join forces to support ORE, we open a new chapter, one that strengthens open access scholarly publishing and improves research practices across Europe”. Beyond the technical infrastructure, the initiative is expected to deepen collaboration between CERN, the European Commission, national representatives and research organisations. Working in partnership with the OPERAS Research Infrastructure, outreach and engagement activities will be expanded across Europe to attract eligible authors to the platform. ORE is expected to support a growing number of research outputs each year, making publicly funded science more accessible and transparent while setting a benchmark for equitable publishing initiatives in Europe and beyond.

Since OpenTelemetry first introduced Profiles, momentum has only grown towards building a unified industry standard for continuous production profiling, standing alongside traces, metrics, and logs. Today, the Profiling SIG is proud to announce that the Profiles signal has officially entered public Alpha, and we are ready for broader community use and feedback.
Production profiling for all Continuously capturing low-overhead performance profiles in production is a technique that has been used for decades. It helps troubleshoot production incidents, improves user experience by making software faster and reduces computation costs by making the same work take less resources. Historically, the industry lacked a common framework and protocol for continuous profiling, even with formats like JFR and pprof being popular.

A donation banner is not an attack to users The announcement that LibreOffice 26.8 will feature a donation banner in the Start Centre has prompted a flood of responses, ranging from positive from many FOSS supporters, who understand the need for funding, to mild apprehension to extreme alarm from others. Some articles have described the change as an “aggressive fundraising campaign” and suggested that it is part of a dangerous trend towards “freemium” models and paid features. However, it is worth taking a step back to analyse what is actually being introduced and the broader context that many of these comments have ignored. The banner will appear in the Start Centre – the screen that greets users when they launch LibreOffice without opening a specific document – and will occupy roughly the bottom quarter of the screen. It will not block any functionality, nor will it restrict access to any features. According to the implementation plan, it will appear periodically, but not at every launch. That is all that is changing. It is a request that is certainly not intrusive, given that the Start Centre is a screen that many users – at best – glance at for a few
