| President Obama came to office with the promise of change. His administration
| has pledged to create an environment of openness and participation. Some have
| already called him the "open source president," such as consultant and CNN
| contributor Alex Castellanos.

| There's no better time than now. Transparency builds trust. Participation
| solves problems. And we believe that open source provides an answer.

| 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.
