Open-source software is crucial to today’s digital infrastructure and to governments around the world. Public services need to be digital, reliable, and secure – requirements that open-source solutions are often best suited to meet. Governments seeking greater digital sovereignty are increasingly turning to open-source software.
So what can the public sector do to secure the software they rely on? As open source depends on its users and community engagement, they can actively get involved by contributing to existing projects, starting their own initiatives, or acquiring open-source technologies. In this way, they participate directly in the maintenance and further development of the software.
Between coffee and croissants, meet public and private sector professionals involved in the digital transformation of public administration. Expand your network and connect with others who are enthusiastic about the potential of free and open-source software in the public sector.
