Open Source, Open Minds

Open Source communities have revolutionized the way ideas move from concept to reality, and along the way transformed the technology industry. In the years since the GNU and Linux® projects were conceptualized, millions of contributions have been made by individuals, companies and governments around the world. 

In that time, Open Source code, tools and communities have been leveraged to improve the daily lives of people across the globe. While open source didn’t set out to be a movement beyond code, the principles of openness, transparency, accountability and commitment are exactly what are required to foster the collaborative change we’re seeing throughout society. Join us to hear how open source technology and communities are being leveraged to change not only the industry that created it, but the world around us.

Open Source software democratizes the access to technology, but open source communities are working to extend that change across our society.

At Red Hat®, we live by the mantra that “We are better together”, and for people across the globe open source communities and tools have been leveraged to improve their daily lives.
