I love the idea of my city, region or nation (or planet) working to solve a problem and releasing the tool to the public. I just don't want every government to duplicate all the same work, some duplication and competition is fine. But the idea that different places have different specialities etc....
We have 342 municipalities, all buying the same apps (from 3 or 4 vendors) to deliver basic services to their citizens. Common Ground aims to replace all of those with open source solutions.
I see some communities, seems like each community has their own setup, some of them have github links.
If you are Dutch and looking to work on awesome gov-tech send me a DM.
There are things such as sharing best practices and other resources. An example is https://standard.publiccode.net/ and https://new.digitalpublicgoods.net/ .
And of course many efforts towards a shared funding infrastucture, see also https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/KES3TH-funding_europe...
