They will take the stage alongside the six finalists of the EU Public Services Open Source Achievement Awards, as chosen by the jury. 

This year's competition saw nominations from 22 projects, comprising 16 solutions and 6 initiatives, curated by the OSOR Team and experts from the European Commission. The awards drew 93 eligible submissions from 23 different countries. 

Join the OSOR Conference in Brussels to celebrate the winners with us! 

About the winner

BlueHats was established in 2018 to connect public servants skilled in open source software who were unaware of their colleagues with similar expertise. Now, BlueHats has grown into a vibrant community of over 2,000 public servants and developers promoting open source in the public sector. They engage in daily discussions, host "garagethons", and share resources, like the Helm Charts, among ministries. BlueHats aims to expand internationally, encouraging other nations to participate. 

In the OSOR Community Vote, BlueHats was a resounding winner. It got 18% of the votes - 7% percent more than the nearest competitor.

  

The public vote is now closed.
