And there you were!

Interestingly, at least for me, here I am packing for a trip abroad to
an open source software in healthcare conference, where at some point I
am almost certain to remark that one of the smaller benefits of a FLOSS
approach to procurement for public service software is that you will buy
something that actually exists, and that it is rather harder to hide the
hole content of the European Community Emmental mountain and then have
the secretary of state embarrassed by it in FLOSS than in closed source
systems.
