</br>
</br>
<p>We then explore a wider basis of the wider impact of open source with a report from the European Commission (EC) '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.</p>
<p>The news items introduce two recent open source developments and a report from the European Commission (EC) 'Impact of Open Source on the European economy' outlining the results of a study analysing the economic impact of Open Source Software and Hardware on the European economy. We hope you will find this material useful.</p>
