What’s on the agenda for OSS funders? | 3 February 2023 | EU Open Source Policy Summit

"...This panel brings together stakeholders from a variety of sectors to speak about the current state of OSS funding and future directions for OSS funding in Europe. The panel will begin by setting the scene of OSS funding (best) practices: who funds OSS (governments, companies, philanthropies, etc.), what are their interests and priorities, and what are their funding models (corporate sponsorship, community grants, public-private models, etc)? Subsequently, the panel will move on to discuss the needs and potential pathways for OSS funding in Europe. The panel will discuss questions, such as: What should OSS funding priorities in Europe be? Should there be a coordinated EU-wide OSS funding strategy? Who should be involved in funding European OSS projects? Overall, the panel aims to inspire and inform the policy agenda concerning funding as a critical motor for the growth and sustainability of OSS across Europe and beyond...."
