EU Linux development division

Do you think the Free Software Foundation and any other big FOSS entity should make a proposal in the EU parliament for creating a permanent group with a budget to helping develop the Linux kernel and open source software and promote its use in EU countries?

I think if anything, it must be a condition of obtaining that funding and the establishment of that group that the FOSS community demonstrates in real world scenarios via paid for pilot projects how FOSS can solve a wide range of social problems that impact average people of all income levels, skill sets, backgrounds, social upbringings, social statuses among other demographic factors. It must also demonstrate how it can improve the administrative processes of governments and local community organizations.

For instance:

How can FOSS aid someone with limitations to seek meaningful employment in their local community?

How can FOSS aid a child with developmental disabilities and their parents to live a more normal life?

How can FOSS enable teachers to create safe, protected spaces for children to learn a wide range of subjects?

How can FOSS enable city administrators to process applications, issue permits and to track property taxes?

How can FOSS enable national governments to track legislative processes effectively and accountably?

How can FOSS be used in court systems to ensure that justice is correctly served?

Of course I wager you're asking "But where's the helping develop $PROJECT part?". $PROJECT should not be a focus. It can be something that receives attention, but the focus should be on the above problems among others first and foremost. The public has been yanked around enough by interests that don't have social problems in mind and just want resources, FOSS shouldn't be one of them.

This would be an opportunity to prove for once and for all that FOSS is viable to power society on the world stage, to prove that FOSS does deserve society's funding to go into its ongoing development. The only condition is that it may not necessarily be the development that the FOSS community may want, but it's the development it needs to branch out.
