"Open Europe Stack" / open source software
Mathias Schindler made this Informationsfreiheit request to Generaldirektion Forschung und Innovation as part of a batch sent to 3 authorities
Dear Research and Innovation,
As part of the initiative on Connected Collaborative Computing Networks (3C networks), the European Commission is proposing an "Open Europe Stack" as an Research and Innovation Action (RIA).
I am requesting all information available regarding the "Open Europe Stack", but I want to provide additional information to help you properly define the scope fo this request.
I am particularly interested in how this RIA came to be, this includes all input from within the Commission and its DGs, agencies and other entities as well as from third parties regarding the use of open source software.
This also means I am interested how Open Source software was addressed within the entire 3C plan, in the form of feedback, suggestions, memos, emails, presentations etc.
If a particular document can't be released just now for any of the many reasons, I want the document name and (if applicable) when the document can deemed releasable.
I am happy to provide further clarification. In the interest of a fair solution, you should provide me with any meaningful information that could help me make an informed decision how to clarify, narrow or specify this request given the information provided above.
Yours faithfully,
Mathias Schindler

Please note that you have lodged your application via a private
third-party website, which has no link with any institution of the
European Union. Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held
accountable for any technical issues or problems linked to the use of this
system.
The private third party running the AsktheEU.org website is responsible
and accountable for the processing of your personal data via that website,
and not the Commission. For further information on your rights, please
refer to the third party’s privacy policy. We also understand that the
third party running the AsktheEU.org website usually publishes the content
of applicants’ correspondence with the Commission on that website. This
includes the personal data that you may have communicated to the
Commission (e.g. your private postal address). Similarly, the third party
publishes on that website any reply that the Commission will send to the
email address of the applicants generated by the AsktheEU.org website. If
you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is published
on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can provide us
with an alternative, private e-mail address for further correspondence. In
that case, the Commission will send all future electronic correspondence
addressed to you only to that private address, and it will use only that
private address to reply to your request. You should still remain
responsible to inform the private third-party website about this change of
how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply from, the
Commission. For information on how we process your personal data please

Dear [email address],
please update me on the status of my request.
As you are aware, Access to Document requests can be made without providing a postal address. Requiring a postal address at the registration stage amounts to maladministration.
Additionally, I have full confidence that you already have a postal address for my name.
Yours sincerely,
Mathias Schindler
