The use of open source operating systems in government and non-profit agencies has increased for factors that go beyond just cost. Within these groups, funds and personnel are often limited increasing the need to maximize each investment and the technology retention to support other initiatives. In this panel discussion, senior business leaders will discuss the most successful methods for leveraging open source applications, which applications function best within government and non-profit groups and how to leverage the growing community of professionals for installation, maintenance and support of these applications.
