ZenDiS - the German Centre for Digital Sovereignty - supports the public sector in building digital sovereignty through open-source solutions. This talk outlines how the openCode platform enables collaborative software development and sharing across public institutions, while openDesk provides an open, flexible workspace solution based on that shared code. Together, these initiatives demonstrate how coordinated open-source development can strengthen secure software supply chains, ensuring reliability and trust in the digital tools used by governments..
