MOSC Survey 2011 Awareness Of OSS Certification
http://survey.mosc.my/mosc-survey-2011-awareness-oss-cert
Its not THINKING time. Its action time. Every one that write or
suggestion in this list already doing things.
SO ....
What you are doing?
Can I have your schedule to sync with mine?
Can I have your plan to sync with mine?
By the way, i always supported your plan. I like the MyOSCON yearly
thingy alot. Even though there are weaknesses but they are all on the
right track. It takes time. Just that i think it should be more
mindblowing like the style of Law Abiding Citizen. But then, many of us
(the rest of us :) ) are bit kuuchi rats. Kiasu.
My dream plan (which i am doing anyway daily in my farm) is to produce
something that will make Steve Jobs tertiarap. Actually he is quite
kurang sihat and i am sorry if he tertiarap kerana sebab2 tu plak. So
better awe him before that.
My dream plan is to produce the Google Earth/Map - Sphinx voice
recognition interface integrated to ERP (that owns the backend
heavyhouse) and with my voice, i can activate transactions across the
globe and see all the status color code in 3D ( i saw Green Hornet
alredy.. Wariola bawa saya ke Berjaya Times Square hari tu). So ade
orang mau sponsor itu ka? I dont think so. Only when _after_ you done
kaw-kaw barulah semua sibuk-sibuk nak tumpang glamour pula.

Yep we got the numbers! Nape? Tak caya ke? Tak leh bawa bank kah? Kene tunjuk cash jugak ka? Nama je bank. Tolong orang kaya saja...
sudahla... :)
Lets capitalize on this opportunity. The new FLOSS users need support. Who will put on their business card "Specializing in FLOSS Implementation and Support Services"?
And another thought...
From the articles, my guess is that their savings comes primarily from dumping Microsoft Office in favor of OpenOffice.org. But OpenOffice.org has fallen out of favor a little bit due to Oracle's influence. The managers and officers in government offices aren't likely to know anything about this, or even care, but we do.
My concern is that now Oracle will basically try to take over where Microsoft left off by locking consumers (government offices included) into some kind of services, modules, and support plan that they can't get from the Open Source world.
In a few years will we be fighting Oracle the same way we've fought Microsoft in the past?
I can now see why RMS is a lifelong activist... it just never ends.
I'm curious what everyone thinks. Does it matter to you? Is it a problem?
Has anyone heard of the related term "Open Core"?

Using OSS as a cost efficient approach for providing web application services
Usage and development of OSS solutions have become increasingly sophisticated particularly for OSS content management and database systems becoming popular building blocks for developing web based applications and portals. Using OSS for rapid deployment of web based applications is estimated to benefit the Government by RM280,489 for each implementation in respect of reduced imports on foreign proprietary software licensing. These cost savings is the factor most quoted by agencies for adopting OSS.
Use of OSS in shared or outsourced services
OSS is becoming the solution of choice for the larger agencies, such as the state governments of Johor and Terengganu, to consolidate and provide shared services across the agencies without having to increase the infrastructure and manpower in the smaller agencies. The OSCC itself have already set-up an Advanced Virtualisation Facility (AVF) that can be suitable for use in such consolidated services.
Increasing competency within the agencies towards in-house OSS implementation
Based on the submissions received for the 2008 and 2009 OSS Case Study Awards, only 20% cited vendor involvement in the implementation reflecting the increasing competency towards in-house OSS implementations. This is expected as a result in increased use of OSS for enhancing the delivery of e-government services particularly in government to community (G2C) and government to employee (G2E) type of services.
Included in this cost savings estimate is an amount of RM60,124,667 which the xxx has reported as their estimated cost savings based on an agreement to a package sum of RM10 million for licensing proprietary Microsoft software products to institutions under the Ministry. This is in part attributed to the more competitive software market as a result of the increase in OSS adoption in the Public Sector.
Besides the above reduction in foreign proprietary software licensing cost, the top three cost savings are for content management systems (RM28,898,738), OpenOffice.org (RM28,198,850) and databases (RM20,673,289). On a global scale there are many instances of using OSS database and content management systems as the building blocks for web based applications and portals. With the increased demand for such systems, there are still many potential opportunities for further cost savings.
