Open software and open data is important for a transparent and efficient public sector. Many organizations in the public sector have open source activities. An example is the Dutch COVID-19 Notification App CoronaMelder by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport.

The PublicSectorNL project aims to make the accounts and projects of the Dutch public sector easily findable. Findability is the key to reuse and collaboration.

The project is initiated and maintained by Jonathan de Bruin, Wouter van Bijsterveld, and Paul van Gent. The list of organizations is published under a CC-BY 4.0 license. We decided to write this repository in English because the content might be interesting for non-Dutch speaking developers, governments, organizations. Some organizations are more recognizable in Dutch and therefore enlisted by their Dutch name. In general, this project lists administrative organizations in Dutch and research institutes and medical centers in English. If relevant, a translation can be added.
