Malaysia Administrative Modernisation and Planning Unit (MAMPU),
together with 48 programmers, has successfully set a new record,
endorsed by the Malaysia Book of Records, for having conducted the
longest OSS programming event. This event spanned 36 continuous hours
from 10 pm, Oct 6 to 10 am, Oct 8 2010.


This grueling yet rewarding contest saw 16 teams of 3 developers each
spend 36 consecutive hours developing a web application on “Office
Information System”. All 48 contestants were enshrined with honour in
Malaysia Book of Records as the record makers. 


This contest is a major event of Malaysia's premier annual OSS
conference, Malaysia Government Open Source Software Conference
(MyGOSSCON) 2010, which is scheduled to be held at Putrajaya
International Convention Centre (PICC) on 2-3 November. All contest
winners will be announced and will receive their prizes from the Deputy
Prime Minister, Y.A.B Tan Sri Datuk Muhiddyin Yassin during the Opening
ceremony on 2 November. 


MAMPU strongly believes that this meaningful contest has not only
energised team spirit but also stimulated the inherent energy of OSS
that can be leveraged to spur creativity and innovation. It is the OSS
features such as the availability of source code and collaborative
development model that present excellent opportunities for learning,
experimenting and innovating.
