        Description:
        <br>
        As we continue to move towards a more open government and an
        engaged citizenry, we still rely heavily on proprietary
        technologies and standards for our core operations and programs.
        This leads to an important question: How can the Government of
        Canada more broadly adopt open source software and open
        standards in its development of tools and solutions?
        <br>
        Join us as experts explain open source software and open
        standards in an accessible manner and why the government's key
        stakeholders should be committed to adopting these concepts.
        <br>
        This discussion will allow participants to explore some of the
        challenges and myths surrounding open source software in the
        government. It will also help participants examine the available
        options within our current set of programs and policies and give
        them the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts on related
        topics.
