FOSS - Policy and Development Implications

The FOSS e-discussion is being facilitated by - Bridges.org, Cape Town, South Africa; Free and Open Source Software Foundation for Africa (FOSSFA), Nairobi, Kenya; OneWorld South Asia (OWSA), New Delhi, India; UNDP-APDIP International Open Source Network (IOSN), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; UNDP Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme (APDIP/UNDP) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All the stakeholders involved believe that FOSS is in line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) because it increases access to, ownership of, and control of knowledge and information through the collaborative development of newer technologies and communication opportunities. FOSS development methodology fosters new forms of knowledge production in a collaborative, non-hierarchical, peer-to-peer manner.
