Bringing Open Source into the Digital Check for New Legislation
summary
A federal checklist launched last year, the digital check for new legislation, requires public servants to ask five specific questions about digital processes, data exchange and implementation when drafting laws. The association proposes concrete edits to three principles: prefer open technologies (FOSS, open standards, open data), explicitly reuse software in addition to data and standards, and add transparency/verifiability through free and open source code. Germany already runs an Open Code repository and federal uptake expands toward communal use.
