A long-standing advocate of openness
Open source and open standards have been central to Jarosław's career. At Novell he led the company's SUSE Linux business in Poland, launched the "Schools with Linux" programme that brought Linux to more than 200 schools, and supported Polish localisation of Linux and OpenOffice.org. He co-founded the Coalition for Open Standards (KROS) and the Professional Linux Association (SLP), and helped make open standards, open source and net neutrality priorities in Poland's "ePoland 2020" government strategy. Today he brings the same principles to European data spaces, where openness is the basis of interoperability and digital sovereignty.
