This video in the Red Hat Stories series discusses the ways in which open source leader Red Hat observes and participates in the public sphere--offering technology innovation to better open government and communications world-wise.

Tom Rabon, vice president of Corporate Affairs, Michael Cunningham, Red Hat general counsel, Michael Tiemann, vice president of Open Source Affairs, Venky Hariharan, Corporate Affairs director, and Jan Wildeboer, Open Source Affairs evangelist, talk about the way that technology and public governance intersect--philosophically, necessarily, and intellectually.

"Open source is more than up to the task and more importantly open source is I think the way out of a situation which is fundamentally unstainable and which is already costing more than we can afford"
- Michael Tiemann
