A presentation i did for the Malaysian Government's Open Source Initiative or OSDeC (http://osdec.gov.my/) with hope to inculcate and embrace open source options for digital workplace within our government and certainly to everyone else as well. Open Source has literally everything one would need to push this agenda in the most elegant and users will love it due to the respective product UIs (friendliness, chic, fast, easy of use, modern) and continuous sustainability as some of these products are backed by large open source advocates and companies

of user experience
• Some of the OSS projects are backed by large, well established companies
and they are here to stay
• Cost savings is no longer the main driver, rather, the competitive goodness
from OSS offerings is alone compelling enough, cost savings are really the
collateral of adopting open source towards better management.
• Opensource IS the future of software, let us embrace it.
