It is no surprise that open source technologies find widespread favor in governments. This is true for both server-side and client-side operations. In fact, many widely used web technologies were created and fine-tuned in government organizations.

Governments have to make judicious, long-term tech choices, which is why open source curries such favor in the public sector.
