Where In the World Is Open Source Software?
,----[ Quote ]
| The research, conducted by Georgia Tech, is based on the prevalence and
| acceptance of open source software in 75 different countries around the
| world. Each country was awarded points for "its policies, practices, and
| other data in the fields of Government, Industry, and Community." The data
| also takes into account that, though some countries have may not have a
| particularly high rate of FOSS use, the fact that it holds several IT patents
| or has a large number of Internet users indicates a open source software has
| a high potential of gaining traction in the future.

Answering the Call for Open Source Government
,----[ Quote ]

|
| 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.
