🔗TL;DR As we need to take more concrete steps to improve the financial situation of the Foundation, we will be rolling out a freemium offer for the matrix.org homeserver users. The alternative is to turn off the server, which we want to avoid doing. The goal is for the most active users to support the cost of the service. Free users will have limits on how they can use the service (mostly around media). The change can be supported by any client with limited to no development. Premium plans will be rolled out over the summer, and we will be iterating on the exact scope in the first few weeks. The Homeserver Terms and Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly and deployed in the coming weeks.

Continental makes bicycle tires in Germany

Publicly, Metrolinx was also excited. It pitched GO Expansion in 2022 as a project ”unlike anything before in Canada,” comparing it to rail in London, Tokyo, Paris and Sydney.

When GO Expansion kicked off in 2022, Metrolinx handed off building out the track, signalling, and infrastructure for GO Expansion to ONxpress Transportation Partners. The conglomerate was made up of Canadian construction company Aecon, French train manufacturer Alstom, Spanish construction company FCC, and Deutsche Bahn.

Experts from all over western Europe came to Toronto to work for ONxpress on GO Expansion.

Three years after the GO Expansion project was announced, without explanation, Metrolinx dropped Deutsche Bahn and another key partner, who together were supposed to run the trains for the next 23 years.

But the Jan. 1 takeover date came and went. It was pushed back, Metrolinx said internally, because Deutsche Bahn wasn’t ready to take over.

Then, on May 15, Metrolinx cancelled its contract with OOI altogether. The agency said Alstom would “maintain its role supporting the operations and maintenance of GO Transit and UP Express, to continue delivering the best-in-class service that Ontarians have come to expect.”

Behind the scenes, all five sources who spoke with The Trillium described an acrimonious relationship between Deutsche Bahn and Metrolinx, with varying degrees of shared blame. One 40-year veteran of North American rail systems who worked for ONxpress said the Germans had an “autocratic” management style and didn’t want to collaborate. Three younger transit experts who yearn for high-frequency intercity rail said Metrolinx stonewalled the very partners it hired to get it done.

Metrolinx was not receptive to Deutsche Bahn’s proposed German scheduling software and discouraged its use in various ways, four sources said.

In a series of monthly town halls this year and last viewed by The Trillium, the agency said it was taking direct control over the project and would now focus on delivering a “minimum viable product.”

As some of you know a few good people and I are starting a co-op to help European organizations switch from USA big tech to FOSS software and EU based service providers. Thanks for all the supporting words and early feedback. I'd like to draw from the well fediverse wisdom again.

My hypothesis is that in Europe there is some number of business owners and organizations who want to change (for example they hate Trumpism or want to support local businesses), but they don't know how and would pay for support. That's who we want to reach. It might be a minority, but enough to feed our team.

Do you think it's a sound hypothesis? If so, how can we verify it?

Hello all,

So i am in a canundrum. I am going to buy a new car (EV) and of course want to buy something from which the EU benefits. I am considering the Skoda Enyaq and the Cupra Tavascan. Both car brands are part of the VW group, which is a European company. However, I found out that the Cupra is built is Hefei, China, while the Skoda is built in Czechia which is of course in europe. The Cupra is in fact more equipped than the Skoda while also being cheaper. This may of course in part be explained by where they are built. How do you guys feel about this?

Thanks for your insights in advance!
