EuroCommons, a European programme launched by Caisse des Dépôts (CDC), part of Horizon Numérique 2030 (€18 billion strategic envelope) is a call to large European organisations and to open source vendors to join collective working groups, coalitions, to plan, prepare, finance and execute concrete migrations away from proprietary software dependencies. Together. In project mode. With peers facing the same problems.
EuroCommons will bring together CIOs, open-source software vendors, foundations and public institutions from across Europe to formalise the first cross-border coalitions around shared software components and commit to migrate together.
Eleven coalitions cover the critical digital components: Digital Workplace, Communications, Business Applications, IT & Project Management Tools, Virtualization, Cloud / Data / AI, Security, Directories / Identity / SSO, Desktop OS, Mobile OS & App Store, Geographic Information & Spatial Data.
To establish and foster FOSS community trust, CDC has joined OW2 as a strategic member.
