I'm not at the official #UNOpenSourceWeek events, but I live in #NYC and I love talking shop with other open source maintainers, executives, trainers, etc. and talking about what I've learned about open source sustainability, digital infrastructure, governance, etc. Tomorrow evening (Thursday the 18th) maybe some of us could get together for an unofficial get-together someplace with outdoor seating?


“The reality is also that money doesn’t solve all problems, unfortunately. It can create wrong incentives, it can increase stress and pressure, it can rip communities apart, it can do good in the short term but harm in the long term.

“collectively, because that makes them better. We invest in infrastructure when it’s roads and bridges. We need to find out how to do this in the digital world. The blueprint we’re trying to create is like new government muscle: how can we take care of this in a way that is sustainable, secure, supports our values, & then share it? It doesn’t help if just one of us doing it, we need to do that collectively. This is why it’s great that we’re talking about this at the UN…”

"for better outcomes, more engagement, healthy competition and innovation, bringing us the results that we need to achieve the SDGs, new business models, whatever it is we desire.

What we are trying to do is provide a blueprint. We believe we’re doing something in a specific way that is new, trying to carve out a new role for governments. What does a government need to deliver in the 21st century? We had the example with airports: a few tasks, we decided to take care of…"

At #OSPOsForGood today during #UNOpenSourceWeek, Adriana Groh made several insightful comments during the panel “The Role of Open Source in Digital Public Infrastructure”:

"At the #SovereignTechAgency, we focus on the software that developers need to develop software. We call that 'infrastructure,' which is a different understanding to what many hear when we talk about #DPI. Both things are extremely important and exist at the same time. We need to understand how they are connected..."

Does it make sense to compare #OpenSource to water utilities? Is a metaphor folks will understand? Is physical infrastructure like bridges better? Governments generally find $$ to repair the physical infrastructure they are responsible for, why is digital different?

What have #OSPOs done to change the culture within the organization? How can long-term investments & maintenannce fit into this? How do you invest in the public sector & the private companies which support the software?
