How do we ensure that the #opensource components we build upon are also sustainably maintained? 🤔

@opensourceOpensourcewerken organized a conference on Open Source Procurement today.

70% to 90% of all software contains open source components. 60% of those are run by 1 person. That's a fragile ecosystem.

With a purchasing volume of 116 billion euro, the Dutch gov can make an impact - if they reserve a portion of funding for open source projects in every procurement (MVOI).

"Open Source as an MVOI instrument" slide on the main screen

"Sponsoring open source is a legal obligation (for the government)" slide on the main screen.

The usual meme of the stack of open source components where 1 tiny project is holding up the entire stack.
