An European Union platform for exchanging free and open-source code now offers more than 2,000 applications for use by public bodies in the region. The EU Open Source Observatory and Repository (Osor.eu) announced the milestone on Wednesday. "The federation of the 2,000th open-source project is an important milestone for Osor and a proof of its value," said Francisco García Morán, European Commission director of informatics, in a statement. "Furthermore, I am very happy to see the use of open-source progressing in public administrations."
