🇺🇳 :freesoftware: 🇪🇸 Congratulations to the City of Barcelona on being the first city-level government to endorse the UN Open Source Principles.

As all levels of government, cities in particular can greatly benefit from what free software offers to support more trustworthy digitialization of public services.

Excited to see even more cities demonstrating publicly their support for FOSS!

🇺🇳 Proud to be able to share the 10-year journey of my #UN #OpenSource colleagues, presented today at #ApacheCon#CommunityOverCode by Omar Mohsine. Software Freedom has arrived to the consciousness of the global public sector!

🏆 A big milestone along a decade-long road.

🌐 Governments around the world now understand the value of #OpenSource for global digital cooperation, & are rapidly working to become "good citizens" in the global community. Efforts like the #UN Open Source Principles help to bridge the connections that will make those contributions successful. #RedHat is a good role model of private sector contributions.

🇺🇳 Congrats to our Open Source United team for these ongoing efforts!
