Collaboration on Open Source for an Interoperable Europe
The concept of Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs) has been picked up and implemented at an unprecedented rate among EU public services, showcasing a new need for institutionalised and embedded involvement in open source within the governmental structures. The session will kick off with a presentation of a soon-to-be-published study “OSS capabilities in Public Sector Organisations in the European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland”, diving into state-of-the-art analysis of archetypes, goals, and future of governmental OSPOs. This will be followed by a discussion among the panellists who lead or are in the process of setting up their organisation’s OSPOs about the significance of collaboration among these entities to achieve fully interoperable public services in the EU.
