Does anyone remember the Oscar-winning film “Children of a Lesser God” from 1986, which tells the poignant story of an extraordinary love
The story goes like this: James is a teacher at a deaf school, where he immediately falls in love with the attractive Sarah. Sarah has withdrawn completely embittered because of their experiences in the world of the hearing and works as a cleaning lady at school. Very cautiously succeeds James, get out the young woman out of their isolation and become uninhibited love affair.
In my romantic moments I dream to me a similar fate for open source software.

the wise lovers are doing the federal government, represented by Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel. Because that has already made us corresponding hopes when it defined two years ago in the coalition agreement on page 15f admirably:
“supported as an alternative to the closed ecosystems and encourages the federal government in the software sector especially the development of open platforms and open source solutions and this is also reflected at European level. We want to strengthen the global competition “Software made in Germany” as a quality promise regarding security, privacy, design and user friendliness. We support processes of standardization, interoperability and certification Important parameters for the market success of German products. “
Since I am waiting hopefully on the Sleeping Beauty Kiss for open source software. Minimum wage, pension with 63, toll for cars – in fact, the long list of subjects in which the GroKo has literally kept and delivered to the appointments in the coalition agreement. Only the (deaf) mute open source software has been forgotten in the face of loud lobbyists from industry 4.0 and broadband expansion. To reread that is impressive in the Declaration on the National IT Summit of 19 November.
Only with open source software, we secure our data sovereignty
If open source software is a political Berlin widely audible voice, she’d given the crisis of confidence among US Internet service the enormous opportunities of the domestic internet and software industry with open source software prices -. which politics and administration should please support through their purchasing behavior and not with funding
For the public administration, the education and health sectors in Germany have an enormous importance in establishing and enforcing standards in the IT technology. Your purchasing volume is an ideal instrument for the targeted promotion while maintaining the competition.

To date, constitutes public administration in Germany at the municipal, state and federal level open source software only occasionally a. While other European countries such as Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Sweden give open-source software in the procurement preference, missing in Germany a recommendation to this day.
The same applies to the award of public contracts to subscribe to cloud services. Here it is important that tendering law to be amended so that it is obligatory for tenders that the software of a cloud service with source code needs to be accessible and that the information is stored in open standard formats. Just as the public sector retains the long-term autonomy over their data
At the same time it promotes thus the predominantly domestic European companies that develop open source software -. Just as promised in the coalition agreement. (BW)
