Redhat has published two open source maps showing worldwide Open Source Index (OSI) based on research by the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). The OSI is a measure of the open source activity and environment in 75 countries. Each country is given a score based on its policies, practices, and other data in the fields of Government, Industry, and Community. The activity metrics used included notice of existing open source and open standards policies and the numbers of open source software users and contributors, while the environmental indices included factors that tend to promote open source adoption.
