The survey &quot;tracks governmental policies on the use of open source software as reported in the press or other media.&quot; The report lists 275 open source policy initiatives. It also breaks down by country and by government level whether the policy on the use of open source is considered to be advisory, preferential, or mandatory.

The editorial theme for the May issue of the OSBR is &quot;open source in government&quot; and we are pleased that the authors have drawn upon their experiences to provide insight into public policy regarding open source for many parts of the world.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">May 2009</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Editorial</style></work-type><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Talent First Network
