It’s no secret that the components of Red Hat’s products, from the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform to the latest AI innovations of Red Hat AI Inference Server , are created in the upstream, in the open, with communities and projects that make them possible. For three decades, open source has been a core tenet for Red Hat. While the broader technology world was slower to embrace it, more and more organizations are turning to open source-first approaches each year. This is why Red Hat, as a champion of open source technologies and practices, is pleased to formally endorse the United Nations (UN) Open Source Principles. These principles echo how we have always worked by building in the open, contributing back, and nurturing communities that thrive because of inclusion and collaboration. These guidelines aim to drive collaboration and open source adoption within the UN and globally, and were produced by the Open Source United Community as part of the UN Chief Executive Board’s Digital Technology Network. The principles encompass: Open by default: Making open source the standard approach for projects. Open by default: Making open source the standard approach for projects. Contribute back: Encouraging active participation in the open source ecosystem. Secure by design: Making security a priority in all software projects. Foster inclusive participation and community building: Enabling and facilitating diverse and inclusive contributions.
