FLOSSING - Free Libre Open Source Software in Government
Who are we?
This is a Treasury Board led group under the Enterprise Architecture Domain, and is open to members of Crown Institutions and the Public as a whole.
Objectives
The priorities of this community of practice are to enable the awareness, discovery and creation of Open Source Source across the Government of Canada, including but not limited to Departments, Agencies, Provincial, Municipal, Crown Corporations and the public as a whole.
- Improve Awareness
- Improve Discover-ability
- Develop and Identify Research and Metrics to support Open Source
- Expand Guidance
Membership
This group is open to all individuals interested in working collaboratively to enable further collaboration. Expectations are that members are given time to attend Meetings and perform tasks associated with work items, and are not expected to do activities associated outside work hours.
Meetings
This group meets monthly for 1 hour and a half.
Each meeting begins with a round table, and then will proceed in an 'Unconference' style to avoid hierarchical aspects of conventional meetings in an effort to produce non-traditional solutions to problems.
Discussion and activity will however largely occur from Online Discussion.
Online Discussions
You can participate in Discussion via this group, or access in real time from GCMessage.
