How do we ensure that the #opensource components we build upon are also sustainably maintained? 🤔
@opensource organized a conference on Open Source Procurement today.
70% to 90% of all software contains open source components. 60% of those are run by 1 person. That's a fragile ecosystem.
With a purchasing volume of 116 billion euro, the Dutch gov can make an impact - if they reserve a portion of funding for open source projects in every procurement (MVOI).

@opensource shout-out to @kirschner , for his post about the 500 million euro that the German government spends each year (!) on Microsoft licensing, while asking how much #opensource we could have procured and developed with a fraction of that money. During @nlnet 's presentation.

Indeed, looks like a migration to the cloud while keeping the entire on-prem infrastructure.

@Gina@fosstodon.org @opensource@social.overheid.nl at veenk.org we want to help with that too from a libre software boosting perspective

@Gina @opensource You could ask @bagder how it feels, or how big companies who use and live through Curl don't give two cents for it :)

@Gina @opensource @kirschner @nlnet Awareness is so key in those matters. Keep up the good work!

@Gina "cloud" really is the ultimate argument against commercial software. Give me an annual budget of 500 million and I could easily write and maintain the needed software and run the data centers.
