#FrenBC @ Fwd: [APWarnet] Pemerintah AS semestinya juga ikut "free the code"

 

bagi yg concern masalah software dan keterbukaan di pemerintah baik di
Indonesia maupun di luar negeri... jika tidak berkenan di delete saja...
salam, rr - apkomindo

meskipun ini di AS... semestinya kita juga ikut dukung open source
memberikan peluang bagi masyarakat untuk menikmati kebebasan software
dan affordable software...
masyarakat di AS pun banyak yang ingin agar masyarakatnya mendukung
pergerakan Open source bagaimana dengan kita di Indonesia ?
masih ribut soal poling poling software bajakan dan razia ?
bagaimana kalau kita memperjuangkan software yang memberikan kebebasan
dan affordable dan seperti usul di bawah ini dimulai dari pemerintahnya.

Open Source for America <http://opensourceforamerica.org/> launched a
petition <http://goo.gl/K920J> Thursday to "Free the Code," an effort to
encourage the U.S. federal government to release custom-developed,
taxpayer-funded software as open source by default.
"Free the Code <http://freethecode.org/> is an initiative to start a
national conversation on taxpayer investments in software and
information technology," said John Scott, co-chair of Open Source for
America's steering committee. "Specifically, we're interested in how
publicly-funded software code developed by the government, which isn't
already covered by a proprietary license, should be made available to
the wider public."
Scott and Deb Bryant of the Open Source Initiative (OSI
<http://opensource.org/>) co-chaired a "Free the Code" session at the
Open Source Conference (OSCON <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2012>) this
week in Portland, Oregon to invite interested parties to join the
debate. "Releasing code as open source would significantly increase
reuse and collaborative development between federal agencies and the
private sector," said Bryant. "We hope that others agree and will sign
our petition at We the People asking the Federal Government to share
government-developed software under an open source license whenever
possible."
The petition Bryant refers to is posted at: goo.gl/K920J
<http://goo.gl/K920J>. It begins, "We petition the Obama Administration
to maximize the public benefit of federal technology by sharing
government-developed software under an open source license." The White
House has pledged to respond to any petition on the We the People site
that *garners 25,000 signatures within 30 days.*
The group also plans to developing model policies and share best
practices for governments around open source licensing. You can sign up
for the working group
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/freethecode.> if you'd like
to help the U.S. government Free the Code.
