# UNNYC > The campaign to make New York the first city in the Americas to endorse the UN Open Source Principles. Built by [WeGovNYC](https://wegov.nyc) and [Sarapis](https://sarapis.org). Not affiliated with the United Nations or any government agency. The campaign asks New York City's Office of Technology & Innovation to endorse the UN Open Source Principles, open an OSPO, and weigh an open source option in every technology contract. ## Pages - [The UN Has United Around Open Source.

CC0 1.0 — attribute FLOSS-PSO Network (https://floss-pso.network/) — the list is CC0 1.0, so no credit is required; credit them anyway, not this site. Coordinates and locationBasis added by UNNYC (https://un.opensource.nyc).. - [Government-built open source programmes (Civic Tech Field Guide)](https://un.opensource.nyc/data/government-open-source-programs.json): The Civic Tech Field Guide’s open source projects tagged Government / public sector, as drawn on this site’s map, with the entries we excluded and why. 62 records. CC BY 4.0 — attribute Civic Tech Field Guide (https://civictech.guide) — redistributed under its own licence; credit CTFG, not this site. - [National public code catalogues (GovOSS)](https://un.opensource.nyc/data/government-code-catalogues.json): How many open source projects each country’s own public code catalogues list, with a link to every catalogue. 14 records. CC BY 4.0 — attribute GovOSS (https://govoss.cat) — catalogue data CC BY 4.0; credit GovOSS, not this site. ## Worth knowing before you cite this site - The endorser list is a **transcription**. The UN's own endorsers page carries 154 logos and no organization names — every card's title element is empty — so this list cannot be extracted from the source and exists here because somebody read the logos. One recorded correction: entry 143 was read as "RTÉ", the Irish broadcaster, and is in fact RTE, the French grid operator. - **Licences differ by who made the data, and they are not all the same licence.** The endorser transcription is this site's own work under CC BY 4.0. The OSPO directory, the Civic Tech Field Guide slice and the GovOSS slice are all theirs, and the credit belongs upstream — note the OSPO list is CC0, so no attribution is required for it at all. Each dataset states its own terms above; read those rather than this sentence. - **Counts are derived, never authored**, so a number here matches the page it came from. One exception is flagged in the content itself: the endorser section's lede says "Hundreds" over a countable 150. - **Never sum the per-country catalogue counts** — they undercount and double-count at the same time, for reasons the dataset's own notes give.
