Study out on the economic impact of Open Source Software and Hardware on the EU economy #EU #OpenSource « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
Just out: “Study about the impact of open source software and hardware on technological independence, competitiveness and innovation in the EU economy” from the European Commission.
Open Source is increasingly used in digital technologies. This required an in-depth analysis of its current role, position and potential for the European economy. Open Source Software (OSS) has become mainstream across all sectors of the software industry over the past decade. Conversely, the level of maturity of Open Source Hardware (OSH) currently appears far lower. However, the business ecosystem for OSH is developing fast. If OSH is to follow the same development as OSS, it could constitute a cornerstone of the future Internet of Things (IoT), the future of computing and the digital transformation of the European industry at the end of the digital decade.
The objective of the study was to investigate and quantify the economic impact of OSS and OSH on the European economy. The study also identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of open source in relevant ICT policies, such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), digitizing European industry, the connected car, high performance computing, big data, distributed ledger technologies, and more.
Economic evidence of the footprint of open source in the EU has been collected. A list of policy options to maximize the benefit of open source supporting a competitive EU software and hardware industry, which in turn supports the twin environmental and digital transformation of the EU economy is also proposed.

You can add friends based on the phone numbers you have stored in your contacts list,
or search for their usernames. And though some cams can be a bit costly for a private show, you’ll no doubt
be making multiple visits anyway. They get to choose what,
when, and how they work their private cam shows. Private
sites, such as Streamate and LiveJasmin act in a more one-on-one manner, where the
model will wait to be chosen by a client and then will proceed to a private chat
room where the meter begins to run. Visitors who flock to
the country will get opportunity to visits some exciting attractions such as Singapore Flyer, Sri
Srinivasa Perumal Temple, Saint Andrew Cathedral, Merlion Park, Chijmes
Service Centre, San Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, and more.
