The European Commission is sponsoring a Hackathon on building a European Data Bridge connecting national interoperability platforms such as X-Road to message exchange networks based on the eDelivery profile of the OASIS/ISO AS4 standard.

Come and help us to shape the interoperability of national platforms to achieve seamless pan European administrative connectivity. We want to simplify EU Citizens life’s when dealing with cross borders administrative procedures.

The European Commission encourages and leverages the collaborative and innovative potential of open source. The present Hackathon is an ISA² sponsored project (part of the Sharing and Re-use action (2016.31)) to bring together European Public Services on the subject of open source. It has four areas of focus:

• Inventory: Creating an initial, first cut, inventory of open source software used by European Public Services
• Funding: Studying the need for a European Open Source Funding Mechanism, and then defining how it could work
• Security: running bug bounties on software selected from consulting multiple public administrations
• Hackathons: Holding events/Hackathons to tackle common issues in open source that the European Public Services may be facing.
