This panel will explore the history and potential future of open source in government in Ireland. We will cover some of the successes and challenges surrounding investing in open source at a national level and discuss potential strategic steps we can take to increase the economic and social impact of open source in Ireland. We will examine the organisational constructs that can support the adoption and creation of open source and discuss if and how a National Open Source Program Office may be one way to help Ireland on its journey to an open source future.
