In November 2003, IDA launched the Open Source Observatory, an information portal that provides a reference point to comprehensive information on national and EU-wide activities concerning OSS and encourages the spread of good OSS practice.
The Open Source Observatory offers:
- News: Current OSS activities in Europe and across the world
- Events: announcements of conferences, workshops etc.
- Case studies: migrations, state-of-the-art applications etc.
- Resources: studies, reports, links and addresses of OSS competence centres
A monthly newsletter is sent out to all interested persons. Please subscribe at http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/register.
