Croatia: government creates open source and open standards working group

Joinup, the EU’s public sector open source news website, reports that the Croatian government is establishing open source and open standards working group.

The working group will provide advice to government ministries and other public sector organisations wishing to adopt open source software and open file formats. The group will offer guidance for the procurement of software-related services and assist with pilot projects.

The group will be hosted by the Ministry of Public Administration, whilst Darko Pari?, the assistant Minister in the Office for e-Croatia, will provide help and guidance.

The working group will be led by Kristijan Zimmer, head of the IT support centre at Zagreb University’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering & Computing.
