Open Source – Yes, Please! but How? Experiences From the Future Energy Lab
summary
Future Energy Lab adopts open source pragmatically: an urban data platform and open-source dashboard are deployed in a pilot city to avoid vendor lock‑in; a data‑space pilot extends and customizes the Eclipse Data Space Connector to add energy‑sector identity flows; a prototype for self-sovereign identities for devices is published but the new GitHub repo lacks ongoing maintenance. Over 870 DSOs and complex tenders expose hurdles: startups resist OSS clauses, scientific partners embrace them, and contributing back to communities (Gaia‑X, Eclipse) proves harder than expected.
