[PublicPolicy] The future of EU Open Source policymaking - survey and workshop on 5 November

Tue Sep 29 23:15:55 UTC 2020

Hello Astor, thank you for posting, and for the invitation to participate.

I will gladly share this to my network.

Clarifying question: Are you looking for stakeholders, projects and people that are centered within the European Union?  or is it a broader global view you seek?  I can help with either, but know I will get the question so want to make sure I understand the scope of your goal first.

Kind Regards,

Deb Bryant

We think that you have a great network of organisations and individuals that we see as crucial for this research. We would more than appreciate you sharing it with your partners - the more answers we have, the more reliable and close to reality our research is and thus the recommendations suited for positively influencing future policymaking.

> We invite all types of stakeholders (SMEs, large companies, non-profits, individual developers and others) to fill the survey and share their experience with Open Source. Are you involved in or responsible for open source projects in your organization? Do you develop Open Source solutions yourself? Maybe you are a part of a scientific team implementing Open Source Hardware into their research? Or using Open Source components in your other projects? 
> 
> We ask you to fill the survey within a month, so the deadline is 16 October. We know about your time constraints. The survey should take only about 15 minutes to fill out, so we hope it won’t be too much effort for you and could bring great benefits for the Open Source landscape.

> About the study:The objective of the study launched by the European Commission is to investigate in detail the economic impact of Open Source Software and Hardware on the European economy. It will identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of Open Source in relevant ICT policies (e.g. cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digitizing the European industry, the connected car, HPC, Big Data, Distributed ledger technologies, etc.). Finally, the study should propose a list of policy options that can maximize the benefit of Open Source in support of a competitive EU software and hardware industry and a sustainable transformation of the EU economy. The project team: Fraunhofer ISI (represented by Knut Blind), OpenForum Europe, Mirko Boehm and Andrew Katz.
