Open source is not just being used to drive business activity.  Governmental organizations, non-profits, and educational institutions have often led the way in innovating the use of open source software to reduce costs, provide new capabilities and increase cross-organizational cooperation.  Touching on a fascinating range of initiatives including charitable giving strategies, public policy development, distance education and national  economic development, this panel looks at how open source is being used in the public sector today with insight from individuals directly involved in these efforts.
