Call for contributions to build a pan-European open source software inventory

Part of the Sharing and Reuse Action (2016.31) of the ISA² Programme will create the very first inventory of open source software, with the aim of identifying the most critical open source software and tools used by public organisations across Europe.
 
To ensure a comprehensive inventory, the project team invites representatives of public organisations to participate in the data collection exercise by sharing their data on the open source software used in their organisations. 

To respect GDPR and other data protection policies, no personal or other confidential information is requested. 

What are the benefits?
The participants will not only help to create the inventory of the open source software used by European Public Services, which will be published for a wider audience, but also support the European Commission and other organisations to take steps to safeguard and sustain our most critical open source software.

How will this happen?
The first step is to enlist at least 30 European Public Service organisations in this initiative, and to help them extract their open source data and provide it to the project team.

The project team will collect, manage and analyse the data, applying sustainability and criticality criteria, to create a consolidated inventory and publish it online.
