	23	+* **Description:** Federal, State, and Local governments need cohesive and applicable instructions describing how to produce and use open source software. Today, governments are left to figure that out with little, if any, official or practical guidance. Some governments and agencies have demonstrated success while others still struggle with the numerous complexities and salient constraints within government. The primary goal of this working group is to create an authoritative reference manual that governments can use to implement open source as part of the culture. It will address and recommend processes and activities, highlight challenges with procurement, provide templates, references, studies, and guidance on privacy, paperwork reduction act (PRA), and cyber security.

45	45	* **Description:** This working group is aligned with the OSI's misson to promote and protect Open Source, especially focusing on the "protect" aspects. Applying for 501(c)(3) or (c)(6) status has become the norm for new FLOSS projects. If that route were no longer feasible, it could result in serious harm to the future growth of Open Source. It is critical both to research the recent responses from the IRS and determine if we are in the midst of a trend-shift, and to explore alternatives to IRS 501(c) status for young projects.

	60	+* Description: At the foundation of open source is the software development methodology which has changed the way software is conceived of, created, and maintained. While this methodology has been quickly adopted and practiced in many of the leading economies of the world, it remains on the fringes in many of the smaller economies.
	61	+
	62	+As an example, within Puerto Rico, proprietary software and cultural bias has limited the impact and adoption of open source software. Most of the software development methodology being taught on the island is limited to proprietary technologies. Exposure to and education in open source development tools and methodologies are extremely limited.
	63	+
	64	+This working group will focus on creating the policies, procedures, and processes that can help any country in establishing an Open Source Software Engineering Laboratory. The end result of this group will be a strategic road map that eases the burden of anyone wishing to establish a localized resource that can increase the adoption and usage of open source software.
	65	+
	66	+The key to sustainability of the laboratory will be largely dependent on whether the local community adopts the open source software development methodology. Our largest contribution to that goal will be to produce software engineers who can increase the use of open source in the local talent pool. Generous funding and donations would help a lot too. The deeper we can make the open source talent pool, the closer we will be, to the adoption of the new practice in Puerto Rico.

Encourage SSOs to request and maintain formal peer relationships with OSI. The Working Group will act as the formal Correspondent.
