Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2020

To achieve this, however, Open Source community stakeholders need to increase their capacity to engage with policymakers. There are tangible steps we can take to catalyse ‘Open’ to solve Europe’s strategic challenges without erecting walls and barriers.
