Ryszard Łuczyn, Deputy Director of the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Digital Affairs highlights; “this is the first ever government document that actually supports the use and promotion of open source in the public administration".

Personally it does make sense that a system used to effect the population to be reviewable and contributable by the public.

    Nice!

    First in Poland I guess? In France the law has been recommending free (libre) software since 2016. https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/article_jo/JORFARTI000033203039?__cf_chl_f_tk=yzR2MPbsCVt32fwygGRZDXWF5.V_82j7xN_IdXDA7F4-1783478568-1.0.1.1-QOtmq1R3kQ5SJmXYYSb9Nd7DJ5jbTNAHtSaRfMibRtY

    Based on this law, there is a reference catalog of free software recommended for the French administration. https://code.gouv.fr/sill/

    I guess other EU countries have similar things.

    Really pleased to hear. Parts of the government I work for in another country has moved to nextcloud for data storage as well, although majority of services are still Microsoft software. Small steps I guess!
