This is the final version of the OSOR Handbook, a practical guide for European public administrations to use, develop, and contribute to open source software. It covers the full cycle of working with open source in the public sector, from finding and assessing solutions (including public software catalogues) to procurement, community participation, funding, licensing, and governance structures such as OSPOs. The handbook reflects input from public-sector experts and incorporates feedback from community consultations, with updates including municipal catalogues, the EU Open Source Solutions Catalogue, and references to recent EU legislation.
This paper analyses findings from 23 Open Source Software Country Intelligence Reports, examining open source adoption in European public administrations through legal frameworks, governance mechanisms, reuse initiatives, and cross-border collaboration. It shows open source is increasingly mainstream in European public administrations, moving from a tactical tool to a strategic objective supported by emerging multi-stakeholder governance. The paper's scope includes the Western Balkans, with new country reports on Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Serbia, highlighting how EU integration processes can accelerate open source adoption in candidate countries.
OSOR published a new case study on the work done by the Trufi association. It examines the uniquely international and community-based development model that was created by the Trufi association, and how it used open source to connect local European administrations with international counterparts in the development of intermodal mobility solutions.
