Open Source Impact: From Innovation to Positive Change
summary
Open source powers government and international projects with concrete outcomes: Australia’s centralized MyGov runs on Drupal yet an 80 million AUD contract with Deloitte and Adobe replaces built‑in capabilities that remain illegal to enable because of privacy law, while Canberra shrinks 350 CMS instances to one. A GovCMS stack using GovCMS + Lagoon + Kubernetes and Drupal saves governments (est. 100M per year) and Rwanda launches 250 TYPO3 sites after local training and upgrades.
