Panel Discussion: Public & Private Support of the Open Source Ecosystem
summary
Europe already runs public services on open source (Commission sites on Drupal, servers on Red Hat) and large vendors build on open toolchains (Visual Studio Code/Eclipse, Linux, open libraries). A public funding pilot has 112 organizations involved but only a few projects publish code; public procurement accounts for 60% of IT budget and shifting spend could protect investment. Research cites a 1:4 ROI for open source competitiveness, and incubate‑then‑foundation is the tested path to sustainability.
