In our administration we are not allowed to use open source, as we have no support for it and CVE's won't be fixed soon enough. Thank you Germany

This looks like the classic type of EU portal of which I can only wonder... Who will actually use this?

Leave, protest. Refuse to work in a system that does not oppose fascism. I have two Bachelor's degrees, one in the arts, one in horticultural science. (indoor gardening) At home, I produce fresh air, clean water, grow my own drugs and my own food. I sell car parts and I bar tend for capital because the company I worked for previously is owned by an American investment firm. I make substantially less than I was a couple months ago. But I can sleep at night, if enough people say "go fuck yourself" it will work. Do not devalue the importance you bring to your job, finding people who can work in the most banal roles, effectively. That have to be trained and won''t immediately bounce when there's a better cash offer is way harder than people realise. I am asked to come back every few months and I say "no." We need to work as a group to send the message. Life is only so hard and money so important, because of the system. If the system starts to fail or become less effective, the power of bodies to restrict our access to the resources of capital disappears. Keep fighting.

Not supporting open source software is not equal to fascism, just to be clear here.
My employer is not unwilling per sé, but we miss the IT structures and the personnel. One aspect is a slow and unflexible administration but there are others to consider, for example security (not wanting to get into the FOSS/closes source - obscurity vs. security debate here). I like my job and I am not willing to work outside of the public sector to afford my boss' next Porsche. So I'd rather try to improve my work environment then just leaving.

Of course you like it, it affords you the ability to live. Capitalism is devised to keep that status quo. We are trained to love our gilded cages. Thank you for qualifying that you don't support fascism, self-interest is key to allowing the continuation of the exploitation of the working class.

I think it's good that it exists. I've often bemoaned that there's no easy way to find software projects, so people keep re-implementing them. Maybe having more/better lists and indexes simply of "what already exists", lots of duplicated effort could be spared, which would be better for everyone.

We could accomplish so much if we weren't so lazy and comfortable. Distractions by our screens is not helping either, I think. So thank you for resisting!

So I guess the question is... Next time someone (who?) is looking for an easy way to find software projects - will they use this portal? Will they be able to even find it, and if they do, will it help them find the software they need? Will it prevent people from re-implementing software, and if it does, will it move them to support an existing project, or just not do anything at all?
Sorry, I guess that's actually a bunch of questions
But I'm not optimistic about the answers to them, and then my automatic next question is: I wonder how much it has cost to build this? -

The EU has funded a bunch of such little portals for various things but no one uses them. There are also portals to share code made for/by some european governments, like France, Germany, Netherlands, and some others.
