The experiment to create a state software repository has been postponed indefinitely

The start of the experiment to create a state repository of free software has been postponed by the Ministry of Digital Development for an indefinite period. Its launch was tentatively scheduled for May 1, 2022, but the draft government decree was never adopted due to regulatory issues. Representatives of three Russian software developers told Vedomosti about this.

From the response of the representative of the Ministry of Digital Transformation to Vedomosti, it follows that the resolution has been under discussion since February 2022 and the process has not yet been completed. “Currently, the interdepartmental coordination of the draft government decree on the creation of the repository is being completed,” the source said. When the experiment could be launched, he declined to specify.
