Panel: "Anforderungen an den Deutschland-Stack"

The planned German stack is currently the subject of many political and administrative discussions. But what requirements must it fulfil in order to actually guarantee digital sovereignty? Among other things, the panel will discuss the role of open source, the operation of such a stack and the question of which functional and organisational requirements are crucial, especially for municipalities and federal states.

The panel will include Jutta Horstmann (OSBA), Felix Kronlage-Dammers (Sovereign Cloud Stack), Leonhard Kugler (ZenDiS), Dr. Dirk Gerhardt (City of Munich) and Dr Martin Hagen (State Councillor at the Senator for Finance Bremen).
