Panel: Growing Open Source in the Irish Government
summary
Irish government teams describe concrete wins and risks: a global publishing platform for diplomacy is being rebuilt on Wagtail CMS and aims to power 23 of 26 Ireland Houses and eventually 106 missions, with a beta for St Patrick’s Day 2023; the COVID Tracker → Linux Foundation Public Health code is reused by US states, New Zealand and others; an HSE cyberattack earlier in the year collapses services and exposes supply‑chain blind spots like Log4j, so rapid patching and visibility become priorities.
