  1. Advancing the Research Agenda on “Free Libre Open Source Software” Workshop 14. October 2002 Patrice-Emmanuel SCHMITZ Management Consulting

  2. Steps in IDA EU approach eEurope…. Action plan 2002 … 2005 Study on the use of Open Source Software • Seminar February 2001 • Identify the open source tools available, the main area of benefits as organisational and financial aspects • Identify and analyse the possibility to use open source products in the European institution and Member State administrations January - June 2002: Feasibility of “Pooling Open Source Software”

  3. 1. Use of OSS in public sector Q1/2001 • France • Spain • Germany • Belgium • Italy • Sweden

  4. 2. Pooling Software… Sharing costs Sharing ideas • Not re-inventing the wheel • Jumping to Best practices … On a Pan-European level

  5. How ? Operation Cost ? POSS FeasibilityStudy 1. What type of software ? 2. The legal conditions? 3. The type of POSS service ? 4. How to deploy it ? 5. How to maintain it long term ? 6. How much will it cost ? Software? OSS ? What ?

  6. What type of Software Public Sector Software • Administration of public domain (roads, resources, territory) • Tax declarations • Public health • Employment • Justice & Home Land Security • Education • Interoperability (internet standards eGov services)

  7. Why Open Source ? The Open Source Licensing models are well adapted to Public Sector Needs: • Access and adapt the code to local needs • Freedom to improve and re-use in derived works • No internal limits (users, machines) • Re-distribution (and sharing development with others)

  8. Ideas behind Pooling • Economy • Best value for money (re-using existing soft) • Sharing new development costs • Do not spend less, but better ! • Quality • Speed up innovation • Jump to best practices • Philosophy • Promote IDA standards at European level • New collaboration “G2G” and “G2E” • Neutrality (platform)

  9. Less good reasons … • Overestimate interest & common needs • Trying to solve MY problem (not bring solutions) • Existing software too big, not well documented • Initial developers are gone • Several external developers, no consistency • Hoping others will takeover the cost (when my development is “dead”) • Can I get support for free ? • Can I obtain Upgrades and new versions for free ?

  10. Pan-European Pooling of OSS ? LegalAdviser

  12. 3. Next steps in IDA policy • 2003: General Guide to migrate Open source • Technical • TCO/TBO Case study in a German State (15’000 users) • Pooling Service ?

  13. Contracting Delivering SEEM: area for OSS ? • The tools, as well as their technical characteristics must be non-discriminatory, generally available and interoperable (DG Markt proj. Directive on Pub. eProc). • Electronic signature and Invoicing • Authentication • Secure exchange system (eProcurement)
