In 2023, several projects in the public administration have chosen to take advantage of the benefits of FOSS. E.g., Germany's initiative to build an open office and collaboration platform (openDesk) has made great progress, the German developer portal (docs.fitko.de) got an upgrade and Germany developed standard contractual clauses for public sector open source projects (EVB-IT).

I would like to give a brief summary of this progress and would like to motivate to better organize our knowledge about foss in public administration.
