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

18. 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

LPI Announces Academic Training Partners in Malaysia
(Sacramento, CA, USA: October 11, 2011) The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization (http://www.lpi.org), and its affiliate, LPI-Asia Pacific (http://www.lpi-apac.org/) announced new LPI-Approved Academic Partners in Malaysia: Faculty of Information Technology, Multimedia University (MMU) and the Advanced Medical and Dental Institute, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
"Malaysia has long been a leader in the adoption of Open Source technology within their public sector and LPI is pleased to be part of that effort. In particular, these two new LPI training partners from Malaysia's leading academic institutions is indicative of the efforts of our affiliate in the region, LPI-APAC, to reach out to that country's IT training organizations," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI. Mr. Lacey pointed out that LPI first announced a partnership program for Malaysia's IT training organizations in February (see: http://www.lpi.org/eng/about_lpi/what_s_new/lpi_develops_academic_program_in_malaysia)
Ibrahim Yusof of the MMU noted that Faculty of Information Technology chose to align with the LPI certification program so as to ensure that their students had the highest level of technical skills possible: "Linux is an important tool for every IT or Engineering graduate. Linux is popular in Malaysia, especially with developers and system administrators. Therefore, if you are LPI certified as Linux-proficient, your career choices are that much wider."
MMU is Malaysia's first private university and since 1997 has produced over 26,000 graduates. MMU is focused in the fields of Engineering, Information Technology, Business and Management, Creative Multimedia, Accounting, Law, Medical IT and Bio-Informatics. The Faculty of Information Technology (FIST) at Melaka (http://fist.mmu.edu.my) and the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) at Cyberjaya (http://fit.mmu.edu.my) will be providing Linux training courses towards the LPI certification program.
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) through the Advanced Medical and Dental Institute (AMDI: http://www.amdi.usm.edu.my/) also offers training programs towards all three levels of LPI certification (LPIC-1, LPIC-2 and LPIC-3). USM was established in 1969 and has offered courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels to approximately 20,000 students. Prof. Tan Sri Dato' Dzulkifli Abdul Razak, the Vice-Chancellor of USM noted the growing importance of Open Source Software in Malaysia as one of the reasons that the USM adopted an LPI training program: ""Open source means that anyone can and has the right to obtain access to the technology. It is not commodity-based and is not just accessible to those who can afford it. This means that we can share any technologies that have been developed for the people and everyone has the same rights to use the technology."
Other LPI training partners in Malaysia include LPI Approved Training Parter (LPI-ATP) CBT-TECHNOLOGY.COM (http://www.cbt-technology.com/) and LPI-ATP Asia Talk (http://www.asiatalk.com.my/).
For more information on LPI's training partner program please see: http://www.lpi.org/training
The Linux Professional Institute is globally supported by the IT industry, enterprise customers, community professionals, government entities and the educational community. LPI's certification program is supported by an affiliate network spanning five continents and is distributed worldwide in multiple languages at more than 7,000 testing locations. Since 1999, LPI has delivered over 290,000 exams and 95,000 LPIC certifications around the world.
