We then explore a wider basis of the wider impact of open source with a report from the United Nations (UN) 'Impact of Open Source on the European economy' and an example of how open source has been used to make cities more livable called 'How Open-Source Software Makes Cities More Livable'. We hope you will enjoy this material.
