Public Money, Public Code: Pt2

Presented at Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017), Aug. 4, 2017, 6:10 p.m. (40 minutes)

Software written by the government or it's contractors with public money should be released under an open source license.This talk will focus around that idea. What is open source? How can it improve transparency and democratic control? What are good recent governmental examples? How can it make governments sovereign again? Free and open source software is becoming more pervasive every day. In this talk I'll argue why increasing it's use within governments is a smart thing to do. #sharing #politics #legal
