Software Heritage collects publicly available source code from numerous software projects and tracks their ongoing development. This talk was delivered during the 2026 United Nations Open Source Week. " UN Open Source Week 2026 is the premier global forum for advancing open source collaboration in direct support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Global Digital Compact. The event demonstrates how open source drives digital cooperation, fosters innovation, and enables sustainable public infrastructure, turning ideas into practical impact. Through panels, workshops, hackathons, and community-led events, participants will connect to discuss real-world solutions and gain actionable insights in topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs). UN Member States, agencies, private sector organizations, civil society, and technical communities will gather to bridge the gap between high-level policy and practical implementation."
