Session
The European Commission plans to strengthen European technological sovereignty and considers the Open Source a key ecosystem for its development. Will the Czech Open Source benefit from this ecosystem?
No one knows at the moment!
The Commission will set out "strategies for open digital ecosystems". Will it meet the expectations of Czech open source ecosystem? How can Czech companies adapt to this strategy or other political or situation changes?
Now is the time for an alliance for an Open Source businesses to make sure Czech don't miss this train. the goal of such alliance could be:
- Advocating for supportive policies and sharing best practices.
- Strengthen businesses through training, awareness of tenders and better visibility.
- Engage with decision-makers to promote openness, accessibility, and interoperability in public services.
- Propagate knowledge through events, communications, and community support to highlight the value of Open Source.
