In order to identify the Open Source tools most used by public organizations in Europe, the first inventory of Open Source software used in this type of institutions will be created. This initiative is part of the “Sharing and Reuse Action”, driven by the ISA2 programme of the European Commission. This programme supports the development of technological solutions so that European public administrations, companies and citizens benefit from interoperable, cross-border and transversal public services.
Our desktop virtualization project at Los Arcos del Mar Menor University General Hospital (HULAMM) is a candidate for the ASLAN Awards to Digital Transformation Projects in Public Administrations. Thanks to its commitment to VDI technology with UDS Enterprise, this hospital could react quickly to the state of alarm’s declaration due to the pandemic and send all professionals who could carry out their tasks remotely to work from home.
They were also able to help the Murcian Health Service (SMS) provide this service to Pharmacology, Oncology, Hematology, and Microbiology, the unit responsible for analyzing PCR. In total, hundreds of professionals distributed by different public hospitals in the Region of Murcia work remotely using virtual desktops or remotely accessing hospital computers with UDS Enterprise.
The European Open Source Observatory (OSOR) team has published a handbook that includes a series of guidelines for creating sustainable Open Source communities in the public sector. Public officials, administrators, project leaders, IT developers and anyone interested in open software will find in this document practical advice to build communities that last over time.

The change from a proprietary to a free and Open Source environment is often looked on with mistrust by employees, especially when it involves adapting to something new. The municipality of Eyüpsultan in Turkey decided to implement the Open Source model for their computer desktops. They managed to do it successfully and with great criticism from users following a simple premise: the new Open Source desktops had to look a lot like the ones used by workers.
RedIRIS, the Spanish academic and research network, encourages all affiliated institutions to share their experiences and the challenges they are facing these days due to the urgency with which they are having to implement a remote work system. Together with the TECNIRIS community, they have organized a series of live video sessions where all affiliated institutions may participate, including universities, public administrations and public research centers.
