Myths on Open Source…Busted
•   Security concerns…no more than proprietary; openness allows
    for agility & control; development of security tools

         “As a cryptography and computer security
         expert, I have never understood the current
         fuss about the open source software
         movement. In the cryptography world, we
         consider open source necessary for good
         security; we have for decades. Public security
         is always more secure than proprietary
         security. It's true for cryptographic algorithms,
         security protocols, and security source code.
         For us, open source isn't just a business model;
         it's smart engineering practice.” Brian
         Schneier, 9/15/99 Crypto-Gram Newsletter


•   Lack of support…community; proprietary demise

•   Migration of data…overcome through evaluation and planning
Pros of using Open Source
       Lower cost; less likely to have contractually-bound upgrade costs

             Greater opportunities to share data across platforms

                        Increased opportunities for re-use

       Collaborative design makes user-facing open source products intuitive

             Potential for fast cycle time of releases and bug fixes

Opportunities for customization and community innovation within government and
                         the wider public sector and citizens

             Open Source solutions are scalable in both directions




                From “Pros and Cons of Open Source Solutions” by Liz Azyan (4/23/12)
                   http://opengov.zaizi.com/pros-and-cons-of-open-source-solutions/
Cons of Open Source Solutions
      Wider availability of source code increases vulnerability

   Must assess support & maintenance costs versus proprietary
                             package

 Potential legal risks around whether code retains its open source
              status & who owns IP rights of modified code

Those considering using & developing open source ‘in-house’ must
    ensure that they have the right level of expertise to manage it

Open source solutions may require additional development to enable
           integration with existing proprietary environment

                 Re-training of staff using the software
           From “Pros and Cons of Open Source Solutions” by Liz Azyan (4/23/12)
              http://opengov.zaizi.com/pros-and-cons-of-open-source-solutions/
Examples of Successful Open Source Projects in
                    Government

•   US Navy nuclear submarine fleet
•   Steamboat Springs, Colorado
•   City of Newport News, Virginia
•   Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
    – Started from scratch
    – Not legacy
    – Processed and planned
• 50 Places Linux running you might not expect
    – Pakistan, Cuba, Macedonia
    – New York Stock Exchange (okay not government
      but still worth noting!)
ARE WE THERE YET?
Deborah Bryant, who, among many other
engagements, is involved with the Boards of the
Open Source Initiative (OSI), Civic Commons,
DemocracyLab.org, and the
Open Source Digital Voting Foundation, suggests
that opportunity may be around the corner if:




       License expiring?
          New project?
  Don’t rip out what’s working
Places to start…
Create an open source software policy:
•Public
•Operational
New Hampshire Law Promotes Open Source Software
Best Practices for Creating an Open Source Policy
Three Steps to Jumpstart Your Open Source Policy
Open Source Usage Policies

Create a sandbox:
           Pick a project
           Get feet wet
           Determine where support will come from

             Local Government Innovation Fund Applicants:
Sourcing Office: Butler County; Summit County
•Grant for two county entities and five communities; will test the feasibility of a new collaborative
budgeting strategy which will provide a fuller reporting of public spending on economic and community
development
•Eleven public sector entities in Summit County submitted a grant application to support a feasibility and
cost benchmarking study to create a shared broadband infrastructure that will serve public, not-for-profit,
and private sector entities. The communities are: County of Summit, Bath Township, Copley Township,
the Village of Mogadore, Akron General Health System, the University of Akron, and the cities of
Fairlawn, Hudson, Stow, Tallmadge, and Twinsburg.


 ACCESS: Mahoning & Columbiana Counties
A group comprised of 10 cities and towns and a handful of county representatives met on Friday,
Feb. 17, to gauge interest in jointly using the same Internet and email services to save money and
be more efficient. The Area Cooperative Computerized Educational Support System (ACCESS)
currently provides those services and other technology to schools and is exploring how it could do
the same for municipalities.

OCITA 2012: Opening Up to Open Source Software for Government

  • 1. Sponsored by the Ohio County/City Information Technology Association (OCITA) Hosted by Cuyahoga County Government IT Cleveland Metroparks - Fairview Park OCITA: Regionalization of County/City Government OPENING UP TO OPEN SOURCE & IT SHARING May 18, 2012 Jill Miller Zimon The Civic Commons EfficientGovNetwork http://theciviccommons.com/egn jillmzimon@theciviccommons.com
  • 2. Mom, Where Does Linux Come From? QuickTimeª and a decompressor are needed to see this picture.
  • 3. Introduction Basics: Goals: •Why Me? •Get to a common •What it is understanding •Myths •Raise awareness •Pros and Cons •Examples •Resources
  • 4. What is Open Source? Learn About Open Source Software A presentation from the Open Source Initiaive http://opensource.org December 2008 Copyright © Alolita Sharma; Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
  • 5. Myths on Open Source…Busted • Security concerns…no more than proprietary; openness allows for agility & control; development of security tools “As a cryptography and computer security expert, I have never understood the current fuss about the open source software movement. In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades. Public security is always more secure than proprietary security. It's true for cryptographic algorithms, security protocols, and security source code. For us, open source isn't just a business model; it's smart engineering practice.” Brian Schneier, 9/15/99 Crypto-Gram Newsletter • Lack of support…community; proprietary demise • Migration of data…overcome through evaluation and planning
  • 6. Pros of using Open Source Lower cost; less likely to have contractually-bound upgrade costs Greater opportunities to share data across platforms Increased opportunities for re-use Collaborative design makes user-facing open source products intuitive Potential for fast cycle time of releases and bug fixes Opportunities for customization and community innovation within government and the wider public sector and citizens Open Source solutions are scalable in both directions From “Pros and Cons of Open Source Solutions” by Liz Azyan (4/23/12) http://opengov.zaizi.com/pros-and-cons-of-open-source-solutions/
  • 7. Cons of Open Source Solutions Wider availability of source code increases vulnerability Must assess support & maintenance costs versus proprietary package Potential legal risks around whether code retains its open source status & who owns IP rights of modified code Those considering using & developing open source ‘in-house’ must ensure that they have the right level of expertise to manage it Open source solutions may require additional development to enable integration with existing proprietary environment Re-training of staff using the software From “Pros and Cons of Open Source Solutions” by Liz Azyan (4/23/12) http://opengov.zaizi.com/pros-and-cons-of-open-source-solutions/
  • 8. Examples of Successful Open Source Projects in Government • US Navy nuclear submarine fleet • Steamboat Springs, Colorado • City of Newport News, Virginia • Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – Started from scratch – Not legacy – Processed and planned • 50 Places Linux running you might not expect – Pakistan, Cuba, Macedonia – New York Stock Exchange (okay not government but still worth noting!)
  • 9. ARE WE THERE YET? Deborah Bryant, who, among many other engagements, is involved with the Boards of the Open Source Initiative (OSI), Civic Commons, DemocracyLab.org, and the Open Source Digital Voting Foundation, suggests that opportunity may be around the corner if: License expiring? New project? Don’t rip out what’s working

  • 13. IT Sharing Initiatives in Ohio The Civic Commons and EfficientGovNetwork Local Government Innovation Fund Applicants: Sourcing Office: Butler County; Summit County •Grant for two county entities and five communities; will test the feasibility of a new collaborative budgeting strategy which will provide a fuller reporting of public spending on economic and community development •Eleven public sector entities in Summit County submitted a grant application to support a feasibility and cost benchmarking study to create a shared broadband infrastructure that will serve public, not-for-profit, and private sector entities. The communities are: County of Summit, Bath Township, Copley Township, the Village of Mogadore, Akron General Health System, the University of Akron, and the cities of Fairlawn, Hudson, Stow, Tallmadge, and Twinsburg. ACCESS: Mahoning & Columbiana Counties A group comprised of 10 cities and towns and a handful of county representatives met on Friday, Feb. 17, to gauge interest in jointly using the same Internet and email services to save money and be more efficient. The Area Cooperative Computerized Educational Support System (ACCESS) currently provides those services and other technology to schools and is exploring how it could do the same for municipalities.
