For decades, Europe has been a leader in Open Source (OC) development. In fact, the European Commission spent around €250m (2018-2020) to shape the development and evolution of the Internet into an Internet of Trust. An Internet that responds to people’s fundamental needs, including trust, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and the norms all citizens enjoy in Europe. Therefore, it would be beneficial to introduce the European OC to the community in Asia. In this talk, the structure of the OC in Europe and how it work would be explained in detail. Some common OC organizations (e.g., Nlnet, OpenWebSearch, NGI, and the Funding Box) would also be introduced. Last but not least, the story of the Open Console Project, the alternative for Google Search Console, and how the project got funded would be shared to the audiences. Hopefully, our story could encourage the cooperation between the European OC community and the Asian OC community.
