Statement nowadays from the Putrajaya regime is more fluff than substance with a hint of them under the influence of some substance.

It's a very political statement. They won't take any sides until there's a clear favorite. It's disappointing, and even a little insulting, to people who care a great deal about certain issues, but it's what politicians do. -- *Ghodmode* http://www.ghodmode.com/blog > On Sat, Apr 30, 2011 at 2:29 AM, Harisfazillah Jamel < > linuxmalay...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Team, >> >> One of the MOSTI respond >> >> >> http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/breakingviews/article/mostis-response-to-ditesh-gathani/ >> >> >> Malaysia’s stand and position at the International ISO Standard >> Committee on Open Source Technology: >> >> On November 21, 2006, the former minister of science, technology and >> innovation announced that the government was adopting a neutral >> technology platform policy that does not favour either open source >> software (OSS) or proprietary software, and that government >> procurement policy is now based on merit and not on platform choice. >> This position does not void Mampu's open source software and MOSTI >> believes that it is important to support both the proprietary and >> open-source development model in procurement practices because both >> are sources of innovation that the government has an interest in >> encouraging.

It really means nothing. It really takes talent in making up so much words but say absolutely nothing we all did not know already.

[osdcmy] Malaysia’s stand and position at the International ISO Standard Committee on Open Source Technology - MOSTI
Team, One of the MOSTI respond http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/breakingviews/article/mostis-response-to-ditesh-gathani/ Malaysia’s stand and position at the International ISO Standard Committee on Open Source Technology: On November 21, 2006, the former minister of science, technology and innovation announced that the government was adopting a neutral technology platform policy that does not favour either open source software (OSS) or proprietary software, and that government procurement policy is now based on merit and not on platform choice. This position does not void Mampu's open source software and MOSTI believes that it is important to support both the proprietary and open-source development model in procurement practices because both are sources of innovation that the government has an interest in encouraging. The government has large varieties of IT systems, each of which is tailored to the needs of individual departments. These departments need to communicate, and this is facilitated, to a certain extent, by the use of open interoperability protocols and common, open data formats. Thus, the right solution is to make no preference with respect to open-source or proprietary software, instead, favouring open protocols and data formats. In fact, the suggestion by the author for the government to intervene and favour one versus the other is in itself contradicting the author’s own comments to let the software ecosystem be as it is and compete on their own. -- Malaysia Open Source Software Conference 2011 MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 http://www.mosc.my/ LinuxMalaysia Network http://www.facebook.com/Bukan.Sekadar.Internet.Sahaja Harisfazillah Jamel -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 and http://www.mosc.my/
