“Procurement Is the Biggest Form of Fundraising for FLOSS” Track: Funding the FOSS Ecosystem 
Thesis: donations are optional and fragile. Procurement is structural. If public buyers require open deliverables and upstream work, they create durable funding for maintenance and security.

Open standards – like the Open Document Format used by #LibreOffice – are extremely beneficial to end users. They reduce vendor lock-in, improve compatibility between apps, and preserve your data for longer: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #openSource
Whenever I talk to other technology users — including CTOs, CSOs and ICT managers, who in theory should have a certain level of expertise — I realise that most of them never consider standards when using applications, devices or websites.
