Description
Digital Public Goods or "DPGs" have been reviewed by the Digital Public Good Alliance or "DPGA" to ensure they meet the requirements of the DPG Standard, indicating that they are safe for use as Digital Public Infrastruture or "DPI". Now that you're straight on the acronyms, you can join us for a talk on how some of the teams behind the DPGs are preparing for FOSDEM, a global festival held in Brussels for open source goodness.
In this discussion we'll learn about the projects people are working on and how they see the DPG movement helping nations to achieve sustainable development goals. And also how the DPG movement is helping open source projects to achieve their goals for innovation and maintenance of open source software projects.
