Open source and scientific development

Red Hat has partnered with University of North Carolina to collaborate in clinical research. This is the future for science, and the winners of the futures innovation contest will be the one that has realized this.

Kudos to Red Hat for thinking outside the software box. Open source is a methodology and a mentality that is exceptionally useful well beyond software. It is something that will bring integrity and value to software. Surely, it can help to do the same in other areas, like clinical research.
