Delivering a strong, reproducible next generation Open Internet Stack through strategic digital commons

Objective

Europe needs to regain the capability to run its own infrastructure, after the 'cloud first' strategy that was dominant in the last decade backfired. The goal of NGI0 Restack is to deliver a publicly available and fully operational stack of strategic technology commons implementing the European vision of an open, trustworthy, human-centric internet that benefits all.

We bring together the expertise, skill and dedication of the European free and open source community — SMEs, research institutes and individual researchers and developers. Restack is designed to retain the much heralded strength of the NGI Zero approach of nurturing bottom up innovation, while bridging this vast and flourishing ecosystem of contributors to digital commons to the current needs of European service operators: telecom and hosting providers, shared service centers, research and education networks — and also increasingly civil service organisations providing non‑commercial online utility services to the community.

Restack seamlessly connects the 3C Large Scale Pilot roadmap to new ambitions such as the Web 4.0 agenda and the Virtual World Partnership, and will help create evidence based policy information for planned legislation such as the Digital Networks Act (DNA) (which in its current state harbours controversial elements putting e.g. net neutrality at risk) by delivering an operational stack of strategic commons ready to be integrated and deployed into 3C networks. It will create a catalog of such services, and help integrate service provider requirements with these applications and tools.
