Eurosky and Igalia today announced a partnership to develop key infrastructure for the open social web, based on the AT Protocol.

The collaboration brings together Eurosky’s vision of sovereign, public-interest social web infrastructure for Europe and Igalia’s long-standing expertise in open-source engineering and standards development. Together, the two organizations will work to strengthen the technical foundations of the AT Protocol ecosystem and ensure that Europe can contribute to shaping the next generation of social media.

The goal of the partnership is to accelerate the development of independent, European-operated infrastructure for the social web, enabling developers, organizations, and communities to build new social applications on top of open protocols.
