Malaysian Government Open Source Software Conference (MyGOSSCON)
The Malaysian Public Sector Master Plan is now in the 2nd phase of implementation. Significant progress have been achieved, for example a total of 540 agencies have implemented OSS. As part of the continuous promotion of the Public Sector OSS Programme, the 3rd annual MyGOSSCON will be held from 4 – 6 November 2009. MyGOSSCON will bring together government organisations, OSS community and the industry to share on how OSS is being used to transform the public service delivery and create unprecedented value proposition for the business organisation.
The conference theme for this year, “Leveraging OSS To Ride The Economic Wave” focus on information technology implementation in the current global economic scenario where governments and business organisations are continuously seeking innovative, practical and viable solutions. It is especially in times such as these where the value proposition and case for OSS can be demonstrated.
