Or gets hot and bothered when hearing certain polyphonic noises from an analogue synthesizer? or is it literally just me?

Great! The #OpenSource Observatory. Where @EC_OSPO stimulates more #OSPO's to be established and already tracks many initiatives.

“#OSOR aims to become a trustworthy observatory that provides #FOSS expertise and information as well as serves as middle-ground to connect #European Public Administrations with other relevant stakeholders. To reach this objective, OSOR will support a dynamic #community and further promote the use of Free and Open Source software.”
