Developers Italia's Vision and Values
How do we envision the future of public administration software: open, shared, and built collaboratively by government agencies to provide high-quality digital services.
Vision
Let’s imagine a public administration that builds value over time, shares solutions, and learns together. It is an environment in which software is an asset to be nurtured, improved, and made available to all government agencies.
Software as a Common Asset
Government software is an integral part of public services. Treating it as a public good means designing it to last and improving it over time.
Not just code, but digital culture
The value of software also depends on processes, skills, and best practices. Sharing knowledge means improving the entire development cycle.
Cooperation Among Government Agencies
Many digital needs are shared. Working together reduces duplication and leads to more effective solutions.
Quality and Consistency
The quality of services depends on the ongoing maintenance of the software. Shared best practices, documentation, and maintenance are essential elements.
Mission
How we turn our vision into concrete practices for public administration software.
Let's work together to shape how the public sector creates digital value
We provide tools, resources, and common guidelines for designing, developing, and maintaining software for the public administration.
We work across the entire software lifecycle to ensure that software is reusable, sustainable, and of high quality.
Let's grow as an open community
The quality of public software stems from ongoing collaboration between government agencies, vendors, and the open-source community.
We foster a space for active participation, in collaboration with Designers Italia, where we can share best practices, improve solutions, and build together.
Values
The principles and decisions that guide Developers Italia.
Opening
Public administration software is open-source to promote transparency, collaboration, and the sharing of solutions among government agencies.
Reuse
The solutions developed by the public administration are designed to be reused, adapted, and improved by other agencies, thereby avoiding duplication.
Interoperability
Public administration software is designed to interact with other systems through shared rules and interoperable interfaces.
