Endorse the UN Open Source Principles #195
Description
The UN has established a set of principles to promote within the UN and globally:
- Open by default: Making Open Source the standard approach for projects.
- Contribute back: Encouraging active participation in the Open Source ecosystem.
- Secure by design: Making security a priority in all software projects.
- Foster inclusive participation and community building: Enabling and facilitating diverse and inclusive contributions.
- Design for reusability: Designing projects to be interoperable across various platforms and ecosystems.
- Provide documentation: Providing thorough documentation for end-users, integrators and developers.
- RISE (recognize, incentivize, support and empower): Empowering individuals and communities to actively participate.
- Sustain and scale: Supporting the development of solutions that meet the evolving needs of the UN system and beyond.

I suggest adding the NixOS Foundation to the list of signatories to increase its visibility, which would amount to filling this form: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/GvF3q-LsyL-OZgX4G0r2pQS8Ju3erZ-zmmkCWgAkiDc/
The most interesting and tricky part is listing our current activities to implement those principles, which would require some updates over time. That would need someone to take responsibility and schedule regular maintenance of that information.
