Session: Demystifying Open Source in Government: A Collaborative Exploration
Join us for an engaging panel discussion that aims to unravel the role of open source software in enhancing government technology. This interactive session brings together experts from companies at various stages of the open source lifecycle: Microsoft, where open source is created, GitHub, where it is maintained and collaborated on, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), where it is ultimately implemented. Together, they’ll offer unique insights into how open source is reshaping government digital services.
Rather than a series of presentations, this session is designed as an open forum where panelists will share their experiences and address key questions about open source in government. How does it contribute to digital transformation? What are its benefits and challenges? How does it promote innovation, transparency, and collaboration? We encourage active audience participation throughout, providing ample opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage in meaningful dialogue with our expert panel.
Whether you’re a government official, a technology professional, or simply curious about the intersection of open source and government, this discussion will offer valuable insights into the future of government software and service delivery. Join us for this illuminating conversation as we collectively explore the potential of open source in government.
