About us
Eurosky is a pan-European initiative spearheaded by a coalition of entrepreneurs, technologists and civil society organizations to ensure the web remains independent, interoperable, and resilient.
Eurosky is an initiative of the Modal Foundation, a non-profit foundation based in the Netherlands. The Modal Foundation supports social technologies whose commitment is to the public interest. The foundation grew out of the Free Our Feeds campaign to advocate for alternatives to big tech.
Both Modal and Eurosky are in startup phase, with contributions many partners and peer organizations. We are building out our team and our board to ensure diversity in geography, gender and expertise. The initial management group is

We are also working with a strong group of technology developers, communications and advocacy experts, legal minds, community organizers and media.
Governance
Eurosky is an active participant in the global ATProto ecosystem and aims to help create pluralistic global governance of the protocol. We are working to develop a Eurosky covenant to ensure that participants in the Eurosky AT network respect European norms and values. Eurosky will further work towards integration between ATProto and other protocols (specifically ActivityPub) to ensure the interoperability at the infrastructure level that supports the diverse interests of many stakeholders.
