-</div>
-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Government projects generally either do not attempt, or struggle to produce, free software. Projects often utilize free software components, but seldom attempt to create their own. The challenge is helping government entities understand and prioritize the importance of using public resources to create public goods, as well as how to create policy, budgetary, and legal environments which enable projects to produce free software. This discussion focuses on systemic factors which impede the creation of free software in the public sector, and strategies to improve outcomes.</div></div>
