>Less than two years after my presentation titled “Open source for the government”, and almost exactly one year after I became advisor to the deputy prime minister of Bulgaria, with the efforts of my colleagues and the deputy prime minister, the amendments to the Electronic Governance Act were voted in parliament and are now in effect. The amendments require all software written for the government to be open-source and to be developed as such in a public repository.
>It means that whatever custom software the government procures will be visible and accessible to everyone. After all, it’s paid by tax-payers money and they should both be able to see it and benefit from it.

Yeah, windows don't have any vulnerabilities because it is closed source.
But bulgaria is still a shithole desu.
Bulgarian cyber gypsies now work for the government from camper vans hitched next to dancing bears.
Nice.
> Third world country
> No one cares about east yurop
This is a good idea for very pragmatic reasons; it keeps the government a lot more leverage and options on negotiating future support and development contracts for future software, since if the existing contractor sucks having the software be open source makes it a fuck ton easier to hire some else to take over.
