| President Obama came to office with the promise of change. His administration
| has pledged to create an environment of openness and participation. Some have

| Red Hat is excited that the Obama administration recognizes the value of open
| source beyond software. Open source principles are changing how we learn, how
| we share information, how developers create, and how companies do business.
| Now it has the opportunity to change our government.
