Sustainable Open Source Software for Social Services - Primero
2026-06-14 , Salon C-E (VictoriaMetrics Ballroom)

Primero is the premier open source case management system for social services used throughout the world for over 12 year and used by over 20,000 social workers. We'll discuss the key elements for sustainability including public/private partnerships.


Two of the key elements were the vision and commitment of the primary sponsors and the role of the Digital Public Good Alliance and their sustainability roadmap. The open source nature tied all these elements together.

Jean Pierre is the co-founder of both Quoin, a software consultancy, and Salus CM, a SaaS based case management systems for social services. He has over 40 years of experience in the software industry and is the survivor of two AI Winters.
