LinuxConf [ZA] 2019

This talk will provide learnings from local government on using open source software to enable and scale research and analytics. Governments have a strong proprietary software focus, with good reason. There is however a grey area where open source and proprietary software clash and it is here where open source excels.

This talk is of interest to anyone who is working in a large organisation, with a proprietary software focus, and wanting to introduce and roll-out open source software.
