I do Nordic and European advocacy and events for GNOME and represent the viewpoints of

This is relevant to al software interoperability including the question of i.e. KDE-GNOME interoperability.

I work for the establishment of a levelled playing field in public procurement in  legislation as well as in 
administrative practice.
