SWOT Analysis Report ofComputing Professionals Bill 2011 OSS Community Forum 6th January 2012 1 2. ObjectivesTo provide feedback to MOSTI on the impact ofthe proposed Bill to the implementation of theMalaysian Public Sector OSS Master Plan andOpen Source Software development in Malaysia 2 3. BackgroundPublic Sector OSS Master Plan Overview 3 4. What is OSS? Cake Analogy Open Source (OSS) Non OSS (Proprietary) Resepi Simple Cheese Cake 1. Spong Cake Mix 500 gram Telur(B) 9 biji Susu UHT 100 ml 2. Cream Cheese 500 gram 3. Minyak Masak 100 ml Proses Kerja: 1. Adunkan (1) hingga menjadi kembang - High speed 2. Cairkan Cream Cheese(double Boiller) 3. Masukkan Cream Cheese kedalam (1)- Low Speed.Adun hingga sebati 4. Masukkan minyak hingga sebati - Low speed.adun jangan lama sangat, nanti kualiti kekak akan terjejas. 5. Masukkan ke dalam acuan, isikan acuan di didalam takungan yang berisi air, bakar pada suhu 150 C selama 45 minit pertama. Cake Recipe Cake only (No Recipe) (Software) (Source Code)Recipe enables learning, customisation Without the recipe, it becomes a “black box”and transparency with locked-in environment 4 5. OSS Development & Distribution Model 5 6. OSS Benefits Strategic Technology Economy Social Increase Learning & Increase Information Marketplace Innovating Interoperability Access Competition National Global License Fee Digital Divide Capability Technology Savings / Forex Reduction Building Support Reduction WorldwideLower Barrier to Customisation & Vendor Collaboration / Market Entry / Localisation Independence Networking Exit PartnershipEnhance Security Enhance Spur New & Sovereignty Technology Service Industry Sovereignty 6 7. Public Sector OSS Master Plan● Open Source Software (OSS) Program instructed and approved by Cabinet● Approved by the GITIC on 19th February 2004● Announcement of OSS Master Plan on 16th July 2004 7 8.

Media Highlights“Malaysia is demonstrating outstanding leadership & accomplishmentin Public Sector OSS implementation with a 97% adoption rate to date”Malaysian Business Magazine, Issue Aug 1-15, 2010 “Now the Government of Malaysia proudly reports an astonishing 97% adoption rate for OSS .... and the world should congratulate Malaysia on its outstanding leadership and accomplishments in the past five years of effort..” Michael Tiemann, President of Open Source Initiative (OSI), 9 July 2010“The government has saved up to RM200 million in costs after more than95 per cent of the government agencies had adopted the Public SectorOpen Source software (OSS) programme launched in 2004.”New Straits Times, 23 August 2010 “Malaysian government touts 95 percent OSS adoption … Some 95 percent of Malaysias government agencies have adopted open source software (OSS)” ZDNetAsia, www.zdnetasia.com, 28 January 2010 15 16.

SWOT Analysis of Computing Professionals Bill 2011 from the perspective ofMalaysian Public Sector OSS Master Plan Implementation 18 19. SWOT Analysis Report➔ Strengths➔ Weaknesses➔ Opportunities➔ Threats➔ Recommendations 19 20. Strengths➔ Provide quality assurance of the ICT services provided by IT professionals➔ Raise level of professional standard among IT practitioners➔ Harness the growth of IT manpower and serve as repository for computing professionals➔ Enhance the countrys IT guideline and certifications towards world standards 20 21. Weaknesses➔ Adds new layer of bureaucracy which hampers national, industry and individual growth, and the implementation of the ETP➔ Kills spontaneity and stifles creativity and innovation of the open source developer community➔ Hinders individual contributions from OSS champions➔ Hinders the fulfilment of the OSS Master Plan objectives, namely: ● increase growth of OSS user and developer community ● increase growth of knowledge-based society➔ Reduce choice of IT vendors➔ Exemption of public sector IT professionals from the Bill defeats the purpose of the Bill 21 22. Weaknesses➔ Many areas of the proposed Bill are vague, e.g.: ● Definition of CNII projects ● The disciplines and specialisations under the BCPM registration/certification have not been defined ● No definition for certifications authorities➔ The implementation of the BCPM can be discretionary and subject to possible abuse➔ The proposed Bill provides the Board with legal protection, and not giving the computing practitioners legal recourse in case of wrongful charges.➔ Incurred cost of IT certifications will lead to the increased cost of end products, solutions and services. 22 23. Opportunities➔ Increased number of certified OSS professionals➔ Increased number of OSS training centres including at university levels➔ Increased number of OSS products➔ OSCC as a contributor to university curriculum leading to certification➔ OSCC as one of the recognised certification body➔ All of the above can lead to greater use of OSS, more cost effective IT spending and increased human capital development 23 24. Threats➔ Contravening the philosophy of Open Source which recognizes meritocracy as the main driver for excellence and quality, the Bill promotes the opposite by bestowing absolute power on the Board.➔ Can be detrimental to the growth of Open Source development and related products as the result of reduced contribution and hampered individual initiatives.➔ Reduced skill opportunities for IT development within the Open Source community results in shortage of IT skills and hampered human resource development.➔ Hampers the contribution of subject matter experts and input from business verticals to IT developments.➔ All the above factors contribute to the reduction of ICT growth at national levels➔ Increases the net import of ICT skills, reduces the self reliance, and hence leads to national vulnerability.➔ Limited number of certification bodies for Open Source as compared to the proprietary software leading to the growth the proprietary software usage and hence, increase the national spending. 24 25. Recommendations The Bill should be revised, taking into consideration the speed of technology advancement, speed of government service delivery and globalisation. A panel consisting of relevant representatives, including OSCC MAMPU and OSS community, is appointed to revise the Bill. Conduct study of countries which implement similar Bills and approach taken. Ensure the Bill addresses the weaknesses and threats to the implementation of the Malaysian Public Sector OSS Master Plan and the Economic Transformation Program 25 -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information OSDC.my Discussion Group In Facebook http://www.facebook.com/groups/osdcmalaysia/ Malaysia Open Source Conference 2012 MOSC2012 http://portal.mosc.my/
