Bottom-Up Roadmap for Free/Libre and Open Source Software on e-Government in Europe
Alfonso Molina · 2003
This report contains the consolidated bottom-up roadmap to emerge from all previous contributions, activities and analysis carried out during the one-year roadmapping and constituency-building process implemented by project Three Roses. The analysis first discusses the trends, issues and developments in the strategic opportunity opened by FLOSS for local/regional development in Europe. It then processes and consolidates the contributions made by FLOSSeG constituents regarding short, medium and long-term content of a roadmap for a potential large-scale programmatic action on FLOSSeG in Europe. Three areas are distinguished for these contributions: Technology, Applications and Institutional Development. The final section of the report looks at strengths and weaknesses as well as actions for the future in order to advance the FLOSSeG constituency-building process for the benefit of local/regional development in Europe.
