4 Big Ways Companies Benefit from Having Open Source Program Offices
In the first article in my series on open source program offices, I took a deep dive into what an open source program office is and why your company might need one.

Senate puts brakes on NSA Accumulo Project that mimics Google
But the NSA also saw the database as something that could improve security across the federal government — and beyond.
