Context
The idea of this NESSI Open Source Working Group came from questions raised by NESSI about OSS. An initiative as large as NESSI could not ignore nor avoid addressing this topic which do have some strong impacts on the software landscape in terms of process, business model, economic issues and global impacts in the ICT.
Objectives
The NESSI Open Source WG will support NESSI in defining an overall Open Source strategy targeted to European companies wishing to implement or adopt Open Source, as well as to Open Source development communities wishing to collaborate withparticipate to NESSI.
Specifically, the NESSI Open Source WG will provide other NESSI committees and working groups with all support, help and inputs needed for positioning Open Source as a major channel for the dissemination of NESSI outcomes, ensuring adequate levels of software quality, security, dependability and safety.
Also, the NESSI Open Source WG will promote integration of Open Source within NESSI platforms and services, ensuring that the resulting integrated systems meet quality and security requirements according to the overall strategy of Open Source usage on the part of the adopter
