To promote the exchange of comments made by the Free and Open Source Software communities, the EU-Fossa project points out some specific sections of the deliverables he produced so far. By consulting these chapters, you have a more direct insight to what the project team consider as the most relevant information.

 

In the table hereunder, you find the description of these spotted sections and also the path toward forums (one per deliverable) where you can express your thoughts and share your comments with the project stakehoders.

 

Being part of these stakeholders, the interest in participating to this collaboration is to check the accuracy and completeness of information addressing your project, to consult EU-Fossa recommendations and to review the proposed methodologies and models.

 

The EU-Fossa project team is looking forward to receiving your input and opinion on this.
