Some challenges remain.• Public Policy Challenge

• Government makes a difference. Procurement for large public sector projects is still out of reach for many.

• Balanced Interest Challenge

• Community, industry, academic, and investment stakeholders are some times at odds.

• Investment Challenge

• Global financial crisis represents more opportunity for open source, but less resource for those implementing.
