An inclusive strategy
The Community Foundations stand as a cornerstone in our collective quest for shared objectives, fostering collaboration and strengthening our joint value proposition. They cultivate an environment for open knowledge and joint innovation by empowering experts via the .Stat Academy, establishing structured data governance through a multi-tier approach, and conducting systematic user research with initiatives like the UTF. These efforts underpin a vision of open collaboration, ensuring data is accessible, harnessing open-source tools to extend capabilities, and promoting SDMX as part of a collaborative business framework. Our commitment to achieving shared goals is rooted in this cooperative spirit.
The .Stat Suite is at the forefront, with a cloud-ready, component-based architecture that maximises flexibility and performance, allowing for effortless, scalable installations tailored to specific needs. It embraces the entire data lifecycle, modernising tasks from collection to dissemination, while addressing fragmentation, and underscoring the importance of 'quality by design'. At the core of this endeavor is the multi-tier community ecosystem and sustainable business model. Delivering on open-source principles, the Community is committed to excellence in DevSecOps, automating tests for functionality, performance, and security, ensuring flexible deployment options, and leveraging Gitlab for efficient open-source project management on a grand scale.
