Panel Discussion: Driving the UN Digital Compact With Open Source
summary
A proposal to build an annually published Open Source Adoption Index (a compass/atlas co‑designed via geographically distributed workshops with UN ODET, UNU and research partners) measures concrete things: presence of OSPOs, percentage of procurements with open‑source requirements, contributions tracked under Cyber Resilience Act Article 16, and reuse case counts. Research finds a surprising gap—few open‑source indicators in global rankings despite €75bn–€8tn estimates of OSS economic value—so the index aims to supply usable metrics and procurement guardrails.
