Here, we’ll explore the report’s key findings and the remaining gaps, and discuss the implications for the future of open source.
In an era where digital transformation is not just a buzzword but a necessity across industries, Open Source Software (OSS) has emerged as a driver for public sector innovation. The Linux Foundation’s groundbreaking report, “The European Public Sector Open Source Opportunity,” written by Cailean Osborne, Mirko Boehm, and Ana Jimenez Santamaria, with a foreword by Gabriele Columbro, GM of Linux Foundation Europe, explores the intricate and essential relationship between OSS and public governance.
Expect to see open source “not approved for the EU” if the EU CRA goes forward.
In an era where technological advancements are shaping the future, understanding the role and impact of open source technology is more critical than ever.
