Plans to drive more open source – and more transparency – into public sector
Open Source Summit The body behind the biggest open source project in the world has opened a European division.
Sometimes, attending a European trade show – even virtually – can give you a slight feeling of being a supporting feature, with the main act happening in North America, usually some time earlier. So the launch of the Linux Foundation Europe in Dublin last week was a welcome change. After all, the Linux kernel itself was originally a European project, from a member of Finland’s Swedish-speaking minority.
On stage to launch the new organization was Gabriele Columbro, who is also the head of the Fintech Open Source Foundation, FINOS, along with Ericsson’s Phil Robb, Rob Oshana from NXP Semiconductors, Sachiko Muto from the OpenForum Europe, and Vasu Chandrasekhara of SAP.
