Directive (EU) 2019/1024 sets out that data is open-by-default which also applies to spatialdat

With a view to reducing administrative burden, it is proposed to delete the reportingrequirements set out in Article 21. Member States shall provide the Commission with a reporton the measures taken to implement Implementing Regulation No (EU) 2023/138

33 out of 34 INSPIRE datasets

The proposal is a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amendingDirective 2007/2/EC

he proposed measures to simplify the INSPIRE Directive are consistent with Directive (EU)2019/1024 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138

It is thereforealso proposed to delete the obligation on the Commission to operate the Inspire geo-portal

widely recognised Minimum InteroperabilityMechanisms (MIMs) developed by the Open & Agile Smart Cities community1

proposed simplification will create flexibility in the implementation allowing for the adoptionof community good practices

proposal is consistent with Regulation(EU) 2024/903

With the proposed deletion of detailed technical requirements forinteroperability, network services and data sharing

The application of the INSPIRE Directive is not only relevant for environmental policy.Several pieces of EU legislation refer to the INSPIRE Directive, such as Regulation (EU)2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council13 (LULUCF), Regulation (EU)2021/2116 of the European Parliament and the Council14 (Common agricultural policy),Regulation (EU) 2018/109115 (integrated farm statistics), Regulation (EU) 2021/696 of theEuropean Parliament and of the Council16 (Union Space Programme), Directive (EU)2024/2881 of the European Parliament and of the Council17 (Air Quality Directive), andRegulation (EU) 2024/1991 of the European Parliament and of the Council (NatureRestoration Regulation)18,

Notably, the high-value datasets defined under that framework wereselected to match the data sets already covered by the INSPIRE Directive

Itwill be supported by non-legislative actions and practical tools to support smart and efficientreuse of environmental data across the Union

n addition, the EU’s objective of creating Common European Data Spaces set out in the 2020European strategy for data, includes a dedicated Green Deal Data Space to support theEuropean Green Deal; this requires breaking data silos and ensuring that all relevantenvironmental data – spatial and non-spatial – can flow freely to inform EU environmentaland climate objectives and reduce administrative burden on companies and publicadministrations.

Horizontal EU data legislation regulates the access to, reuse, interoperability, and governanceof public sector data in a coherent and technologically advanced manner. This includesDirective (EU) 2019/1024 (Open Data Directive)7 and Implementing Regulation (EU)2023/138 (High-Value Datasets)8, Regulation (EU) 2022/868 (Data Governance Act)9, andRegulation (EU) 2024/903 (Interoperable Europe Act)10. Horizontal EU data legislationintroduces open-by-default principles, structured metadata, mandatory ApplicationProgramming Interfaces (APIs) and where relevant as bulk download formats for high-valuedatasets, as well as a streamlined, common governance model for cross-border data us

reserving the Directive’s objectives of ensuring the accessibility,quality and interoperability of environmental spatial data

This proposal seeks to modernise and simplify the INSPIRE Directive by removing technicalrequirements for data and data sharing and aligning its obligations with more recent horizontalEU datal legislation.

Today's simplification package is composed of six legislative proposals.

The current technical requirements for geospatial data under the INSPIRE Directive will be fully aligned with the horizontal legislation governing public sector high value geospatial data. This simplification will lower compliance costs for public authorities and facilitate access to high value geospatial data sets for all public and private users.

On 24 November 2023, the EU and Canada launched a Digital Partnership to reinforce cooperation on digital issues. The partnership reflects a shared vision for a positive and human-centric digital economy and society. The EU and Canada agreed to work together in crucial areas such as AI, secure international connectivity, cyber security, online platforms, digital identity and digital skills. This Digital Partnership and its importance were highlighted in the New EU-Canada Strategic Partnership of the Future, adopted at the Canada-EU Summit on 23 June 2025.

EU and Canada are committed to working together on secure international connectivity, for example in 5G and subsea cables, and have agreed to explore new cable routes to strengthen global network resilience, including in the Arctic region. The EU and Canada will deepen the collaboration in priority topics such as quantum technologies, semiconductors, and high-performance computing. They also reaffirmed their commitment to resilient semiconductor supply chains and secure and sovereign cloud infrastructure and data centres.

explore cooperation on enhancing information integrity online, including on the challenges posed by generative AI and the risks stemming from foreign information manipulation and interference.

Both partners plan to establish a forum to facilitate joint testing of digital credential technologies, drive pilot projects, and share information. They will develop joint use cases and pilot projects towards interoperability of digital identity wallets and digital credentials and trust services.

the cooperation on digital credentials and trust services, including on technical interoperability and solutions based on digital identity wallets, the EU and Canada signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Digital Credentials and Trust Services.

the partners will share  best practices to accelerate AI adoption in strategic sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, energy, culture, science and public services, and support SMEs. They committed to work together on large AI infrastructures and support industry and academia's access to AI compute capacity. They will also explore scientific cooperation on fundamental AI research, and the development of advanced AI models for the public good, including in areas such as extreme weather monitoring and climate change. In addition, the EU and Canada will set up a structured dialogue on data spaces, of particular relevance to the development of large AI models.

Next Generation EIF: official kick‑off with Member States  The Chair of the independent expert group on next generation EIF, Emilija Stojmenova Duh, presented its recommendations for an EIF blueprint, which will feed into the future EIF revision and proposal by the Board.

The labelled solutions are:   Core Vocabularies – common semantic building blocks that help public administrations describe key concepts (such as persons, organisations or locations) in a consistent way across borders and sectors.  DCAT-AP – a common specification that makes data catalogues interoperable and helps make public sector data easier to discover and reuse.

Companies will not be obliged to use the European Business Wallets. The Regulation places obligations solely on public sector bodies to accept its core functions, while companies remain free to decide whether to adopt the wallets for their commercial operations or interactions with public authorities

In parallel, the Commission will work closely with Member States and the private sector to define the technical standards and requirements for European Business Wallets through ongoing efforts under the European Digital Identity Framework and in large-scale pilot projects funded under the Digital Europe Programme such as the WeBuild consortium.

It is estimated that simplification efforts will save up to €5 billion in administrative costs between now and 2029. Moreover, the European Business Wallets should unlock at least EUR 160 billion in savings for businesses each year.

The technical architecture and features for the European Business Wallets will build on the one for the EU Digital Identity Wallets.

Designed to be accessible for businesses of all sizes, including SMEs and microenterprises, as well as public administrations

The European Business Wallets are one of the key deliverables of the Digital Package. The Commission proposes a regulation to establish those Wallets as a harmonised digital solution to ease the administrative burden and to enable companies and public sector bodies to identify, to authenticate and to exchange data in a secure and user-friendly way, with full legal effect across the European Union.

Binnen MeshCore is het niet alleen het apparaat, maar vooral de software die een belangrijke rol speelt. Bij het inrichten van een repeater dienen we dan ook bij de flasher te kiezen voor de rol repeater.

Meshtastic heeft heartbeats om continu binnen het netwerk aan te geven wie er is. MeshCore doet dit niet,

Meshtastic gebruikt bredere bandbreedtes (125 kHz of 250 kHz), waarbij MeshCore bewust lager zit (62.5 kHz). Hierdoor heeft MeshCore voor bebouwde omgevingen een aantal voordelen:

Eind 2025 is er een flinke verhuizing gaande van Meshtastic naar MeshCore. Dat heeft er o.a. mee te maken dat MeshCore een betere ontvangst lijkt te hebben en zijn de eerste signalen dus ook positief. Steeds meer eigenaren van repeaters zetten er dan ook MeshCore-firmware op en stappen daarmee over naar MeshCore.

The model is named Apertus – Latin for “open” – highlighting its distinctive feature: the entire development process, including its architecture, model weights, and training data and recipes, is openly accessible and fully documented.

However, I also believe that therapy should be about the client; there’s a line between self-disclosure and self-indulgent

Dr Yalom talks about this as well in the book and argues that self-disclosure can be useful to building connection, the thing that accounts for 80% of success in therapy.

focusing on the ‘here and now’. Often, he picks up on the dynamic between him and the client and raises this with the client, linking it with the issue that brought them to him. Most of the time, this is effective.

The book is a collection of stories of these one-off sessions, and they are fascinating to me as a psychologist. How effective can one hour of conversation be? It is true that Dr Yalom (or Irv, as he asks his clients to call him) does not promise to resolve his clients’ needs in one hour; in fact, every consultation is ended with him providing names of other clinicians and urging the client to continue with longer-term therapy.

It was, however, the usage of Franz Brentano (and, as he later acknowledged, Ernst Mach[6]) that would prove definitive for Husserl.[14] From Brentano, Husserl took the conviction that philosophy must commit itself to description of what is "given in direct 'self-evidence'."[15]

individuals constantly project into the world around them the interpretive frames that allow them to make sense of it; we only shift frames (or realize that we have habitually applied a frame) when incongruity calls for a frame-shift.

When we want to explain an event, our understanding is often based on our interpretation (frame). If someone rapidly closes and opens an eye, we react differently based on if we interpret this as a "physical frame" (they blinked) or a "social frame" (they winked). The blink may be due to a speck of dust (resulting in an involuntary and not particularly meaningful reaction). The wink may imply a voluntary and meaningful action (to convey humor to an accomplice, for example). Observers will read events seen as purely physical or within a frame of "nature" differently from those seen as occurring with social frames

Framing is an integral part of conveying and processing data daily. Successful framing techniques can be used to reduce the ambiguity of intangible topics by contextualizing the information in such a way that recipients can connect to what they already know.

Guardrail: Strict adherence to the Tagging Workflow. Everything defaults to #private. Only notes explicitly tagged #share pass through the publishing filter. Use clear folder structures to separate sensitive data that should never touch the publishing pipeline.

Publishing is Pausing: You push a rough idea out to pause your thinking and invite external input.

What Is a Federated Garden? A federated digital garden is a personal knowledge space that: Starts private (your vault, your chaos, your unfinished thoughts) Grows selectively public (some notes bloom into garden pages) Connects across platforms (one source → many destinations) Links bidirectionally (gardens can discover and reference each other) Key principles: Gradual disclosure: Not everything needs to be public—choose what to share Version multiplicity: A note can exist as a draft, a garden page, a newsletter piece, and a toot Decentralized ownership: You control the source, not a platform Interoperability: Uses open standards (Markdown, RSS, ActivityPub, HTML)

My goal in this is to treat knowledge as a living, collaborative process, not a series of finished articles.

When you send a message on your Meshtastic companion app, it is relayed to the radio using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi/Ethernet or serial connection. That message is then broadcasted by the radio. If it hasn't received a confirmation from any other device after a certain timeout, it will retransmit the message up to three times. When a receiving radio captures a packet, it checks to see if it has heard that message before. If it has it ignores the message. If it hasn't heard the message, it will rebroadcast it. For each message a radio rebroadcasts, it marks the "hop limit" down by one. When a radio receives a packet with a hop limit of zero, it will not rebroadcast the message. The radio will store a small amount of packets (around 30) in its memory for when it's not connected to a client app. If it's full, it will replace the oldest packets with newly incoming text messages only.

Additionally, Meshtastic radios can be paired with a single phone, allowing friends and family to send messages directly to your specific radio. It's important to note that each device is capable of supporting a connection from only one user at a time.

These radios are designed to rebroadcast messages they receive, forming a mesh network.

Meshtastic utilizes LoRa, a long-range radio protocol, which is widely accessible in most regions without the need for additional licenses or certifications, unlike ham radio operations.
