Erik AlbersInteresting thoughts by #CERN regarding #sustainable #software procurement:
"When CERN opens a procurement process for #OpenSource software, its evaluation criteria include the #size of the open source community, the #CommercialSupport for the solution's distribution, and its #GovernanceModel. The evaluation of these criteria ensures that CERN is using a sustainable open source software in the long-term."
