March 3-6, Outline Current Status of OSS Development in Taiwan Applications of OSS Technology National Strategy on OSS Government-funded OSS-related Projects Conclusion

March 3-6, OSS in Taiwan: A Brief Overview Free software was first noticed in university campuses in Taiwan a decade ago when the GNU utilities started to spread out on the Unix- like workstations. The community awareness of OSS was gradually formed later.

March 3-6, National Strategy on OSS Build an environment for free software industry development Cultivate expertise and advanced technologies Chinese IT applications: establish interface standards and develop fundamental software Promote free software exchange QoS measurement mechanism Promote nation-wide utilization of free software Free software as an alternative based on free competition principle under Government Procurement Act

March 3-6, Government-funded OSS- related Projects 2 Government formed a Linux promotion task force in Approx. NT$20M was funded for linux research and open source for science education in 2002 (National Science Council) Grants for technological research indirectly related to Linux reached NT$60M in 2002 Promotion of open source in K-9 schools started in 2002.

March 3-6, Government-funded OSS- related Projects 1 A Free Software Steering Committee is formed within NICI A Free Software Working Committee is formed under MoEAIDB Several projects are under discussion and review for FY2003.
