KDE endorses the UN's Open Source Principles

The UN Open Source Principles are comprised of eight guidelines and provide a framework to guide the use, development and sharing of open source software across the United Nations. This is part of the UN's Open Source United (OSU) initiative, which aims to coordinate and increase open source efforts across the United Nations system.

According to OSU:

"Across the UN, teams are building powerful digital tools, but much of this work is isolated. Open Source United breaks these silos, encourages collaboration, and makes innovation easier to share and reuse. By working together, we deliver solutions that are more transparent, sustainable, and cost-effective."

Alongside another 119 FLOSS organisations, KDE will support the effort to connect UN teams and their partners, as well as the global community, encouraging them to share, discover and reuse open-source solutions in their work to carry out the UN’s mission worldwide.
