I've only skimmed through the Phase One report, but not surprised to see the UK government website (GOV.UK) mentioned.<p>The massive GOV.UK website is an excellent example of using open source to provide public services and information. An example service: the official government coronovirus dashboard - <a href="https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/" rel="nofollow">https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/</a> Scroll down to the footer and there is a link to all the frontend source code on GitHub.<p>Information, not just source code, also benefits from being made open. For example, back in 2016, a UK government blog on accessibility shared a series of posters on designing for accessibility [1]. Many readers of the blog wanted to translate the posters. They were posted on GitHub and have been translated into Japanese, Estonian, Russian and many more languages: <a href="https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/posters/tree/master/accessibility/dos-donts" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/posters/tree/master/accessib...</a><p>Finally, also equally important is open data: <a href="https://data.gov.uk/" rel="nofollow">https://data.gov.uk/</a><p>[1] <i>Dos and don'ts on designing for accessibility</i> (2016): <a href="https://accessibility.blog.gov.uk/2016/09/02/dos-and-donts-on-designing-for-accessibility/" rel="nofollow">https://accessibility.blog.gov.uk/2016/09/02/dos-and-donts-o...</a>
Brilliant!<p>On a different note - GOV.UK in my opinion is one of the most well-designed, practical, and useful public/government sites on the planet.<p>The rest of the countries needs to take a note on how to design government sites/services
> 97% of UK companies surveyed use open source and 89% are running open source software.<p>Is it at all possible that this first number is accurate? I would assume every company at least uses a web browser, which would mean using open source (Blink/WebKit/Gecko).
