Global efforts to strengthen open source concepts – Insights from the OSPO conference at the United Nations - Blog - OKF

"Last week [9 – 10 July 2024], the second edition of the conference Open Source Programme Offices for Good (#OSPOsForGood) took place in New York. At the invitation of the United Nations (UN), around 450 open source enthusiasts from all over the world traveled to the event - a huge success for the organizers, as there were around 80 participants in 2023. It was about nothing less than the role of open source software in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals - i.e. saving the world, the UN’s core task."
