Open Source Collaboration by Public Sector Stakeholders
summary
Dutch Tax and Customs Administration builds an Open Source Program Office, creates a checklist for license, maintainability and contribution practices, and automates SBOM generation in CI pipelines so security ingests SBOMs automatically. A government-wide community grows from 2 to 18 organizations and a developer portal with 2,700 repositories appears, while policy work continues: a publishing process exists but no public releases yet; organization size is ~3,500 developers, and EU coordination remains fragmented.
