Open source is how we do that transparently, collaboratively, and in a way that builds lasting capacity across government. When we work in the open, agencies learn from each other, communities contribute, and the public can see and trust the technology that serves them.\n\nThis guide is Nava's entry point for our open source ethos, practices, and projects. Whether you're a Nava team member preparing to open source a project, a contributor looking to get involved, or someone exploring how human-centered open source works in government — welcome.\n\n---\n\n## Guide Sections\n\n### [Using Open Source](docs/using/index.md)\nHow to evaluate and adopt open source software at Nava.
