Hello everyone, thank you for those that just joined us, and I'm happy to see that some people are
brave enough to stay in other two hours with us, especially because this is a public sector
a moment of the day, so it's not necessarily the most popular, and we put a lot of efforts.
We put a lot of efforts into trying to make it interesting for you today, so the block is constructed
after around two main subjects, first we will try and go through what's happening in Europe right now.
We have some very interesting speakers that are joining us from different perspectives from the public sector, from the political field as well.
And after that, the second part of the block will be dedicated to more international projects,
which also obviously have echoes and effects on what's happening here in Europe in shaping up our public sector using open source.
So I think it's a very interesting opportunity to reflect on how can Europe play role in this, and obviously we'll see a bit more about this from the perspective of our speakers.
Yeah, I don't know if you want to.
We have an introduce yourself yet, sorry.
My name is Axel Tivney, I'm a policy advisor open for Europe, and I specialize in public sector open source or the use of public sector open source.
So I'm very happy to try and present that today.
And hi, Saleneis, I work with the European Commission's open source program office, and I help the deaf room put together deaf room.
That's it.
Yeah.
Basically, we'll have first presentations, and after that the second half of each hour block will be a discussion, you're obviously invited to participate as questions.
Say what you think, please, as always, be kind and nice to your speakers, that taking time on the Sunday to come here.
Some of them have never been to Foss Dam, and this is a policy dev room, so not everyone here is as used to Foss Dam as you are.
So yeah, but I think we can already start.
And first, we'll welcome Hanya Verrabeck, that we've an accredited parliamentary assistant with a big example member of the European Parliament, and she's going to come and talk a bit about what's happening there.
And from the political perspective, give us some insight.
Yeah, please.
Welcome.
