Accelerated Adoption for Malaysian Public Sector Open Source Software (OSS) Program

Accelerated Adoption for Malaysian Public Sector Open Source Software (OSS) Program

Originated from cabinet decision of the Government of Malaysia, the Malaysian Public Sector OSS Master Plan was launched on 16 July 2004 to create and enhance value using OSS within the Public Sector ICT framework in providing efficient, secure and quality services. MAMPU was tasked to establish and operate the Open Source Competency Centre (OSCC), which is the single point of reference to guide, facilitate, coordinate and monitor implementation of OSS in the Public Sector.

OSS awareness has been a success in Phase I and the OSS Master Plan officially entered into Phase II - Accelerated Adoption on 12 June 2007 with full endeavor to accelerate OSS usage throughout the whole Public Sector nation wide.

A full eco-system to allow natural growth of demand and supply in OSS is targetted to be achieved in order to move forward to Phase III - Self Reliance in the near future.
