OpenEuropa is a Directorate-General for Informatics (DIGIT) initiative aiming at strengthening the adoption of Open Source tools and practices in consolidating the European Institutions web presence.

In order to achieve such a goal the OpenEuropa initiative will focus on the following activities:

• Build, maintain and release loosely-coupled, reusable software components, licensed under EUPL-1.2.
• Build, maintain and release fully-fledged solutions for the European Institutions.
• Provide a high-level architecture overview of web-related information systems.
• Establish reusable technical governance guidelines.
• Contribute back to upstream open source projects.

More information on the initiative is available on the GitHub project page.
