Free and Open Source Software Asia-Pacific Consultation - 2004
The International Open Source Network (IOSN), an initiative of UNDP's Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme, is organizing the Free and Open Source Software Asia-Pacific (FOSSAP) Consultation on 9-11 February 2004 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The consultation is designed to provide an effective policy level platform for the exchange of information and experiences in the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for development. Many countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific, have questions and uncertainties on the use of FOSS for development. There is a growing need for awareness raising on the benefits of FOSS, assistance with formulation of national policies, and case studies of FOSS implementation. The consultation is designed to assist policy makers with these different issues.
The consultation will primarily target policy-makers who can influence national ICT policies, including Director-Generals/senior officials of ministries involved in ICT policy-making, Technical Directors/Heads of ICT departments of ministries, and Heads of National ICT interest groups.
The final report on the FOSSAP consultation can be downloaded below:
