Hi,
anybody participating in the European "joinup" communities for Free
Software? I found e.g. the "Open source observatory"
(https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/osor/home) which looks interestin
g.
I haven't digged deeper, but is FSFE participating there?
I would like to hear any experiences and whether it makes sense to
watch/join the "joinup" communities (they are primarily targeted
towards Public Administrations)...
BTW: I'm still looking for a way on how I can support our demand "for
all publicly funded software to be published as Free Software".
Thanks!

Probably a lot of you already know this, but I just found out by seeing
Jez Humble joining them [1]:
Apparently the US government is funding a fully FLOSS-based
"consultancy" to "build the 21st century US government":
https://18f.gsa.gov/
They have a nice Open Source policy and a lot of Github projects:
https://github.com/18F/open-source-policy
I'm not sure, but I haven't seen anything comparable (well funded
government initiative with a lot of FLOSS projects) at least in Germany.
Maybe you can correct me and share any comparable European initiatives
with such "manpower" and number of FLOSS projects..

We now have the "There is no cloud, just other people's computers"
design on a t-shirt, too. It is in a nice bordeaux, which according to
our trend scouts, is THE colour to wear in the Free Software Community in
2016.

Thanks to the designer Markus Meier!
All the best,
Matthias
PS: the stickers and postcards can be ordered together with information
