The document discusses open source initiatives by the New York State Senate to increase transparency, participation, and efficiency. It outlines several areas of focus, including redesigning the Senate websites using Drupal, investigating alternatives to the current email/calendaring system like Google Apps, exploring open source constituent relationship management options instead of the mainframe application currently used, using the OpenLeg bill data service instead of the public website, and considering open source help desk and problem tracking solutions like Redmine and Bugzilla. It promotes open source software development and source code management. The Senate encourages connecting with the open source community to help reinvent government through these initiatives.
