Great initiative! Should start with political and governamental awareness. Although decisions are made there the level of IT-illiteracy often blocks long term thinking.

We need support to build high quality software and avoid building legacy software for the future.

Great initiative, one that I wholeheartedly support. That being said this needs to come with Research & Teaching.

This is an important mission - a key aspect is to understand that software (and computing in general) is a science in its own right, NOT just a services to solve problems

Great initiative! Some years ago I was the vice-chair of DG Connect Advisory Forum and we often discussed this problem and recommended to the Commission that they should support software directly. And as someone said: "Software is everywhere but nowhere!

It is surprising that we need to actually have such a petition. Isn't it obvious that software is fundamental to our life?
