HansaStack is being built in the open as a personal learning project. It currently goes to a small list — colleagues, and a few people who subscribed here — while the editorial process and the infrastructure are worked out. It is not yet a finished publication, and there is no schedule anyone should rely on.
Saying so plainly seems better than pretending otherwise.
HansaStack seuraa eurooppalaisen digitaalisen suvereniteetin näkökulmasta, mitä Itämeren alueen kahdeksassa maassa rakennetaan: yrityksiä ja tutkimusta, avointa lähdekoodia ja sen ylläpitäjiä sekä julkisen sektorin teknologiapäätöksiä.
Watch on arkiaamuisin lähtevä lyhyt katsaus: enintään viisi uutista edellisen katsauksen jälkeen julkaistuista, luettavissa alle kahdessa minuutissa. Katsaus kootaan automaattisesti, ja se lähtee aikaisintaan klo 8.30. Lähteitä seurataan seitsemällä kielellä, myös suomeksi, mutta katsaus on englanninkielinen.
Kyseessä on henkilökohtainen oppimisprojekti, ei vielä valmis julkaisu. Viikkokatsaus on yhä kehitteillä.
Tilaus vaatii vahvistuksen, ja sen voi perua yhdellä napsautuksella. Vahvistusviesti päätyy usein roskapostiin tai mainoskansioon: jos sitä ei kuulu muutamassa minuutissa, katso sieltä. Ennen kuin vahvistuslinkkiä on napsautettu, mitään ei lähetetä.

What it covers
Technology in the eight countries around the Baltic Sea, read through the lens of European digital sovereignty. Startups and research, open source and the people maintaining it, public-sector technology decisions, and the slow question of what Europe runs its own infrastructure on.
Sources are read in their original languages — Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Danish, German, Swedish, Finnish — because the English-language coverage of this region arrives late, when it arrives at all. Estonia is the gap: no Estonian-language source has worked yet, so for now it is read in English.
Two things
- Watch — a brief every weekday morning, from 08:30 Helsinki time. At most five headlines from everything published since the previous one, readable in under two minutes. Assembled automatically and labelled as such; no editorial judgement is claimed for it.
- The weekly issue — a dozen or so items chosen by a person, with a longer piece on one story. Still in development.

How it is built
The project argues that European infrastructure is sufficient for real work, so it is held to that standard itself. Every part of the running system is either European or open source.
