Open Source in the economy
• Economies are evolving from product orientation to service orientation
• Open Source is a chance for industries to foster growth and increase competitiveness
• Open Source is one of the top IT issues by Gartner• Open Source as the engine of the Service Economy
– For the service providers to keep the services cost as lower as possible
– For the service consumer (citizens) to have more competition– For the Software Industry to have more resources for innovation– For Public Administration to release resources to boost and
support local employment
