The market for FOSS programmers will grow in Europe. A report has just been published that says “open source is important for the future of the European software industry.” [1]

In the UK, Government Digital Service already has a strict policy that software it writes should be open.

Being able to write FOSS in your day job is a wonderful boon . Especially in government it will help offset the lower salaries of the public sector.
