Simon PhippsSwitzerland passes law requiring #OpenSource software in the public sector. "All public bodies must disclose the source code of software developed by or for them, unless precluded by third-party rights or security concerns" Well done @maemst, great work!

It will be interesting how this is interpreted. You could argue this exception is necessary to allow the use of previously copyrighted programs and libraries, but anything new they actually have developed in the future, should be open source.

@duckwhistle @ErikUden @webmink it's already their property of developed with public money. Making it open source does not bring magic benefits like a contributive community imho..
@ppezziardi @ErikUden @webmink
Not magic no. But how many tiers of government are there, and how many instances of the lower tiers?
How many people are working for the public sector that could benefit from a repository they just have access to, without multiple councils having to approve sharing something they spent their budget on? There is opportunity here, if it's taken advantage of.

@duckwhistle @ErikUden @webmink yes, but I definitely think that you have to add an organisational shift beyond the decree, to foster the communities around shared software
