OPEN SOURCE ANALYTICS: A challenge to capitalize on for some, and a path to innovation, progress and meeting the mission for others.
With the new White House’s Federal Source Code policy and a recent endorsement from CIA Director John Brennan, open source is at the top of federal data experts’ minds and will continue to drive conversations around IT modernization, government efficiency and cost savings.


During our meet-up, we took a look at the intersection of government, open source and analytics, how government can cultivate and leverage a growing number of open source and analytic solutions amplifying the value from data to address citizen and mission needs.
