Public money, public code, where security permits

The problem

Government software is often built repeatedly at public expense and cannot be reused between States.

Why it matters

Proposed solution

Advocate open source by default for citizen-facing government software, with clearly stated security exceptions.

How it would be implemented

We publish our own platform source as the demonstration, including its security documentation.
