------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the Monthly Open Source News Service of the IDABC OSOR
project.

This monthly alert keeps you updated on news related to the use of
Free/Libre/Open Source software (FLOSS) in the public sector in
Europe. The IDABC OSOR project is a pan-European information
platform on Free/Libre/Open Source software in the public sector,
and is intended to promote and spread the use of best practices in
Europe. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of
Free/Libre/Open Source Software policies and activities in the
public sector, especially in current and future EU Member States.
This service will keep you up-to-date with the latest FLOSS
software-related news, activities, initiatives and insights from
across Europe and beyond.

Please feel free to forward this alert to any other interested
persons, and to send us your comments and suggestions. We also
welcome your contributions and we invite you to send in news
items, announcements for events and other stories related to FLOSS
and of interest to public administrations to the email address
mentioned before. Moreover, if you belong to a public authority or
a public sector organisation and would be interested in being the
subject of a case study for best practices regarding open source
software, please contact us. All email should be sent to
<gposs na ec.europa.eu>.
