Evidence for public procurement

Slide decks from the publiccode-metadata proposal: evolving publiccode.yml into a decentralised evidence layer for catalogues, procurement criteria and market research.

Maintained decks

Named for the audience they address. These follow the proposal, so expect them to change.

• For open source developers and maintainers Funding the Commons: Metadata Formats as a Public-Sector Lever — what the file asks of maintainers, and what it gives back.
• For policy makers and public buyers Flipping Open Source's Evidence Gap in Public Procurement — catalogues, admissible award criteria, and the data they need underneath.

As presented

Frozen records of individual talks. These never change.
