Notes

The Swiss example of open source software being used in government is awesome. It’s great but let’s make sure it’s done responsibly.

I wonder if the type of government has an impact. There’s a lot of politics happening at the minutes, the tectonic plates are shifting somewhat in many places. In Europe, in the US, and even in the Middle East, there have been several landslide elections, often with controversy.

Does a lefty government do open source differently to a righty government?

What are the dangers and pitfalls to watch out for in each case? #
