OSOR Forge

Features

OSOR.eu provides unbiased advice and guidance on the use, development, and licensing of free and open source software. If you want to find out more about open source software, we\'re the people to ask. As a repository, we can also help your project build an open development community to test and use solutions, provide feedback, and contribute to improving the software\'s quality. OSOR.eu provides:

• a pan-European information platform, with up-to-date news and in-depth case studies on open source;
• expert guidance and legal advice on the implementation of F/OSS solutions, including the European Union Public License (EUPL);
• communities of interest to help you getting familiar with open source applications and projects;
• a state-of-the art development environment, or ‘Forge’, along with a repository and registry for code and documentation for public administrations;
• a Virtual Forge service for those organizations which would like to start their own repository of OSS applications for public administrations, but lack the resources to set up the necessary infrastructure.
• a project search tool covering numerous federated national forges in Europe.

Future plans

OSOR focuses on:

• searching for tools which enable more efficient collaboration in developing applications for public administrations
• depening the co-operation with national and regional Open Source Repositories to enhance the visibililty and re-useability of projects on an European scale.
