Description

Presented by:
Gina Assaf, Digital Design and Research Consultant for Social and Global Impact & Good
Mala Kumar, Program Manager, Open Source for Good at GitHub
John Jones, Vice President of Interactive Strategies at The Case Foundation

The open source ecosystem, which includes software products, data and methodologies, is a driving force behind many breakthrough achievements in digital technology within the private sector. However, for nonprofits, international aid organizations and others in the social sector, open source adoption remains weak despite its massive potential to improve how the industry functions. In this session you’ll hear about GitHub’s new Open Source for Good program, the specific challenges in OS adoption by social sector, examples of nonprofits that are successfully implementing large scale OS projects and how GitHub can better support OS adoption by the social sector in the future.
