FOSS Policy Analyst
About Sophie Giordano
In 2021, Sophie Giordano co-drafted the EU’s first model clause for FOSS procurement in public infrastructure projects, later adopted by three national digital agencies after she testified before the European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy. Her approach treats licensing not as legal fine print but as civic architecture: she maps dependency trees in municipal health record systems to expose vendor lock-in risks, then co-designs transition roadmaps with frontline IT staff, not just ministers. She’s published field reports from open-source migrations in post-earthquake reconstruction efforts in Haiti and municipal broadband rollouts in rural Portugal, always centering maintenance labor, translation equity, and auditability over headline adoption metrics. Her work resists technosolutionism by insisting that 'open' fails without documented, funded, and localized stewardship, and she measures success in sustained contributor retention, not GitHub stars.
