🏆 A big milestone along a decade-long road.

🌐 Governments around the world now understand the value of #OpenSource for global digital cooperation, & are rapidly working to become "good citizens" in the global community. Efforts like the #UN Open Source Principles help to bridge the connections that will make those contributions successful. #RedHat is a good role model of private sector contributions.

🇺🇳 Congrats to our Open Source United team for these ongoing efforts!

:apache: If you're headed to #ApacheCon #CommunityOverCode in a few weeks, you can also learn more about #OpenSource at the #UN during the Friday keynote:

Keynote is quite grounded on practical points in the UN's open source principles. Also a lot of recognition and praise for ASF (and others) for building efficient distributed communities. Really nice to see how the same principles from community-led open source are being recognized and documented at a meta-government level.
