🇺🇳 Proud to be able to share the 10-year journey of my #UN #OpenSource colleagues, presented today at #ApacheCon#CommunityOverCode by Omar Mohsine. Software Freedom has arrived to the consciousness of the global public sector!

🏆 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!
