Sebelum Cahaya

Sebelum Cahaya

Susah hendak digambar bagaimana perasaan diri ini, apabila dalam keadaan sendirian, timbullah perasaan ini, perasaan bahawa, perjalanan hidup ini bagaikan tiada hujung, bagai terowong gelap gelita tiada nampaknya hujung.

Akan datang cinta daripada insan yang juga mempunyai perasaan yang sama kepada kita. Maka insan itu berada dihujung terowong gelap itu. Bagai menjadi petunjuk perjalanan yang baru.

Sebelum hadirnya cahaya itu, hidup kita ini bagai tiada makna. Hari-hari yang berlalu bagai tiada erti. Bangun dan tidur sama sahaja. Kasih sayang bagai hilang dalam gelap perjalanan.

Sebelum datang cahaya, perjalanan hidup bagai meraba-raba tanpa pedoman yang jelas. Dalam gelap mencari.

Maka kaulah cahayaku itu. Memberikan ku semangat baru. Melimpahku dengan rasa rindu yang tidak dapat diertikan dengan sebarang kata-kata puisi dan puitis. Dirimu membuat ku bangun dalam kegelapan. Miskipun meraba dan jatuh bangun. Namun keyakinan cahaya dihujung terowong perjalanan gelapku membuat aku terus melangkah.

Selalunya aku jatuh, namun aku tetap bangun. Adakala aku merintih sakit kerana perjalanan gelapku ini, namun kerana cahayamu dan cinta kepadamu kuturuskan perjalanan daripada merangkak, ku kini berjalan dan bakal ku berlari ke arah cahayaku.

Kerana sebelum cahaya, aku tidak pernah ada rasa keyakinan bahagia begini.

Kerana sebelum cahaya, aku tidak pernah yakin dengan apa yang kulakukan.

Kerana sebelum cahaya, aku hilang rasa yakin terhadap cinta dan bahagia yang dibawanya.

Kerana datangnya cahayamu, aku ada mimpi yang indah yang inginku mimpikan.

Kerana datangnya cahayamu, aku ada impian indah yang inginku capai.

Walaupun berjalan ini jauh, namun setiap langkah yang kubuat dan setiap hari yang berlalu, menambahkan lagi perasaan bahawa cahayaku itu, pastikan akan membahagiakan aku sepanjang perjalanan hidupku.

dan percayalah, aku tidak akan membiarkan perjalananmu sendiri. Perjalanan sunyiku sendiri tidak lagi rasa sunyi dengan hadirnya dirimu.

Lirik lagu "Sebelum Pagi" adalah untukku kerana ku percaya walaupun pada masa dulu, hati ini bertarabur hancur, miskipun cinta pada masa itu tiada makna pasti, miskipun perjalanan yang bakal kutumpuh itu pada mulanya sendiri.

Kekuatan cinta padamu kini yang tumbuh menjadi kekuatan diriku.

Embun pagi yang menjadi temanku sebelum muncul cahaya cintamu dan angin rindumu bagai menghembus mesra. Membelai ku sepanjang masa, setiap ketika.

dan aku tidak mengharapkan padamu apa-apa melainkan... Cahayamu

kerana dirimu adalah cahayaku. Cahaya surgaku.

---

Sebelum Cahaya - Letto

Ku teringat, hati,

Yang bertabur, mimpi,

Kemana kau pergi, cinta

Perjalanan sunyi,

Yang kau tempuh sendiri,

Kuatkanlah hati, cinta

Ingatkan engkau kepada,

Embun pagi bersahaja,

Yang menemani mu,

Sebelum cahaya

Ingatkan engkau kepada,

Angin yang berhembus mesra,

Yang 'kan membelai mu, cinta

Kekuatan, hati,

Yang berpegang, janji,

Genggamlah tangan ku, cinta

Ku tak akan pergi,

Meninggalkan mu sendiri,

Temani hati mu cinta

kan membelai mu, cinta

OpenAFS A Distributed Filesystem

A dying hard disk lead me to OpenAFS. While researching file system and windows I found OpenAFS.

AFS is a distributed filesystem product, pioneered at Carnegie Mellon University and supported and developed as a product by Transarc Corporation (now IBM Pittsburgh Labs). It offers a client-server architecture for federated file sharing and replicated read-only content distribution, providing location independence, scalability, security, and transparent migration capabilities. AFS is available for a broad range of heterogeneous systems including UNIX, Linux, MacOS X, and Microsoft Windows

IBM branched the source of the AFS product, and made a copy of the source available for community development and maintenance. They called the release OpenAFS.

Dying Hard Disk

Dying Hard Disk

My Notebook hard disk is going to die. It's start with slow respond by the Firefox and other applications (In Windows XP or Linux Centos) . Reviewing /var/log/messages show me this

Dec 8 12:17:50 linuxmalaysia smartd[2587]: Device: /dev/hda, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Dec 8 12:17:50 linuxmalaysia smartd[2587]: Device: /dev/hda, 3 Offline uncorrectable sectors

This messages come from smartd a daemon for smartmontools that monitor hardisk using S.M.A.R.T . My notebook is dual boot. XP and Centos. XP don't tell be anything and I need to run the Scanning Disk and reboot the PC and wait.

Right now Im checking the hard disk using Centos with command

badblocks /dev/hda

and wait for the result.

Killing my time by reading more about badblocks handling in Linux.

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/BadBlockHowTo.txt

http://linux.about.com/od/lsa_guide/a/gdelsa35t09.htm

My problem is the badblocks are residing in HPFS/NTFS file system. Geramnya !!!!!

smartmontools can be install in Windows. I boot into Windows and download from

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

After install edit the smartd.conf and change my DEVICESCAN with

DEVICESCAN -a -o on -S on -m sysmsgbox

The install will create Shotcut Menu and you need to install smartd as service using the shotcut menu.

Attribute that I want to monitor is number 197 and 198. Example below

197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 100 099 000 Old_age Always - 1
198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 099 099 000 Old_age Offline - 3

More atribute can be view here.

My next step is to run chkdsk from cmd shell.

chkdsk c: /F /R

and reboot the Windows XP.

Bootup Itanium (ia64) For Linux Single

Bootup Itanium (ia64) For Linux Single

HP Itanium Server (ia64) is using elilo as the Linux boot loader.

ELILO
http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom

My friend call to help him to reset root password for Linux Centos 4 running on HP Itanium (ia64). We confuse with EFI Boot Manager menu and ELILO menu. We need to issue linux single from elilo boot prompt.

After searching found this HP document

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1247B/ch05s21.html

----

Procedure 5-54 Linux Loader (ELILO.EFI) Booting and Access

Use this procedure to access the ELILO Linux loader.

1. Load the ELILO.EFI Linux loader.

Either select a Linux entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu (the boot options list for the nPartition), or invoke the ELILO.EFI Linux loader from the EFI Shell.

2. Type any key when the "ELILO boot" prompt is displayed to stop the boot process at ELILO.

After you type a key (for example, space) the ELILO loader remains at the "ELILO boot" prompt, rather than loading the default Linux kernel entry in the elilo.conf file.

3. Issue ELILO loader commands or enter the kernel path or label (from the elilo.conf file) that you wish to boot.

----

Now we can issue

linux single and enter.

Cinta

This blog post is specially for the couple in love. Really I don't know why, each time I have a staff jointing my team they might fell in love with each other. Hehehehe.

Any way. I wrote a few blog posts that not related to IT. In my younger years I love to wrote "sajak" and this days I wrote more like monolog.

Ayat-ayat Cinta Buat Pohon Cinta

Tiada apa yang dapat diertikan pada sebuah cinta. Umpama pohon pokok, kusemaikan dari benih rindu, ku siram dengan air mata kasih dan ku baja dengan belaian kasih mesra. Lalu kuharap ia tumbuh membesar menjadi pohon rendang yang daunnya adalah ayat-ayat cinta kita. Pohon yang menjadi tempat dirimu berteduh hingga akhir nanti.

Pohon cinta akan sentiasa membesar, akan sentiasa bertukar ganti daun-daun yang kering, gugur dan berganti dengan ayat-ayat cinta yang lebih romantik.

Suburnya pohon cinta kita adalah tanggung jawab kita berdua. Kita siram ia dengan air mata rindu dan kasih, kita belai ia dengan kemesraan dan saling memahami, kita saling berteduh dan mengharap pohon cinta kita akan terus kekal berdiri buat kita berteduh. Biarlah ribut, biarlah kemarau, biarlah salju, namun akar tunjang kesetiaan akan memastikan pohon cinta ini terus hidup hingga akhir nanti.

Ayat-Ayat Cinta (Rossa)

Desir pasir di padang tandus
Segersang pemikiran hati
Terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit

Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekadar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung

Ku pertaruhkan


Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna
Cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah
Ayat-ayat cinta bercerita

Cintaku padamu

Bila bahagia mulai menyentuh
Seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama
Namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta

Ketika ku bersujud

Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekedar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung

ku pertaruhkan

Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna
Cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah
Ayat-ayat cinta bercerita

Cintaku padamu

Bila bahagia mulai menyentuh
Seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama
Namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta

Ketika ku bersujud

http://mirror.oscc.org.my/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/

Ubuntu 8.10 released

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop and Server, continuing Ubuntu's tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.

Read more about the features of Ubuntu 8.10 in the following press releases:

Desktop edition http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-8.10-desktop
Server edition http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-8.10-server

Ubuntu 8.10 will be supported for 18 months on both desktops and servers. Users requiring a longer support lifetime may choose to continue using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS rather than upgrading to or installing 8.10.

Ubuntu 8.10 is also the basis for new 8.10 releases of Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and UbuntuStudio:

http://kubuntu.org/news/8.10-release

http://ubuntustudio.org/8-10_release_note

To Get Ubuntu 8.10
------------------

To download Ubuntu 8.10, or obtain CDs, visit:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

As always, upgrades to the latest version of Ubuntu are entirely free of charge.

We recommend that all users read the release notes, which document caveats and workarounds for known issues. They are available at:

Imagine a technology that lets you manage easily any service in a corporate network, no matter how large or small, saving tons of time and avoiding errors. Imagine that you can easily adapt it and extend its functionality. Imagine that it is open source. Well, that's eBox.

Just one problem, it's build for Ubuntu. :(

I've already try Centos-ds but it's not easy to installed. It's still under centos5 testing repos.

One more option is to used horde hooks to manage LDAP users.

Bila Bulan Berwarna Biru (Jiwang Sekejap)

Lagu ini dikirimkan kepada saya dalam surat kertas warna biru. Lirik disampaikan apabila saya menyampaikan maksud saya untuk menjadikan dia isteri. Cerita 15 tahun dahulu....

Bila Bulan Berwarna Biru

Malam bulan berendang
Berwarna biru di cermin kali
Mata air memancar
Mengilap mata yang lama kabur

Derita perlakukan
Gerlapan malam
Di kaki gunung bertudung kabus
Syahdu lagu berdendang
Melamar kasih sayup membisik
Membelai sukmaku
Berkurun rindu agak pendita

Berkilau sinar
Maya yang menderu
Membakar bahu musafir
Di lembah duka nestapa

Kini kasih kembali
Sekilas mentari
Sepi di ranting yang amat tinggi
Sekadar menemani
Jiwa tersadai
Di belantara sepi

Merayu pada yang maha esa
Agar dikurnia cahaya
Cinta kekal selama

Ku sepi…

Centos Directory Server

Centos Directory Server

We are going to used Centos Directory Server (Centos DS) for Users management base on LDAP. This can be many ways of managing users in LDAP enviroment. Using Phpldapadmin, using Horde by customize the hooks.php or by using Centos Directory.

We decided to try Centos DS

To install Centos-ds please read this manual

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DirectoryServerSetup

and

http://www.howtoforge.com/centos-directory-server-on-centos5.2

and

http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/CDS/install/8.0/

For more information about centos-ds you can search Fedora Directory Server. Centos-ds and Fedora DS are related. :)

http://directory.fedoraproject.org/

Another problem.

Centos DS schema is in a slightly different format from OpenLDAP schema.

In our migration plan, we need to migrate Dbmail users to OpenLDAP. With the different of format of schema we need to rethink about it.

Our plan. Dbmail -> PADL migration script -> Centos DS migration tools.

My Blog Entry about OpenLDAP with Horde and Dbmail
http://linuxmalaysia.harisfazillah.info/2008/09/openldap-setup-and-configuration.html

Another move is to used FreeIPA

FreeIPA is an integrated security information management solution combining Linux (Fedora), Fedora Directory Server, MIT Kerberos, NTP, DNS. It consists of a web interface and command-line administration tools

Spammer Change Their Spamming Technique and We used Greylisting To Counter It

Spammer Change Their Spamming Technique

Two of mail servers that we monitor are hits with large numbers of spam emails. This time what they do, the spammer compile email addresses from the same domain or organisation and spam the email addresses.

By doing this, they may escape from detection from razor pyzor and dcc. Only if the email users in that organisation make the reports to spamhaus and spamcop the spamming will be stop. It's only may be.

For temporary solution I installed sqlgrey

Malaysia's Schools Get OpenOffice.org

Malaysia's schools get OpenOffice.org

By Victoria Ho, ZDNet Asia
27/08/2008

URL: http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/software/0,39044164,62045435,00.htm

The Malaysian government has unveiled plans to roll out OpenOffice.org in schools across the nation--a move that will affect some 300,000 PCs.

Announced Wednesday by the chief minister of the state of Terengganu, the initiative will see all 467 schools in the Malaysian state using the open source office suite from January next year.

Some 100 schools in the state are already using OpenOffice.org, after the first phase of deployment began in January this year, according to a statement from the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU). MAMPU is a government agency that was set up to study the feasibility of implementing open source software in the public sector.

The decision was made based on case studies of other government agencies in the country, which have had successful implementations, Khairil Yusof, a MAMPU spokesperson, told ZDNet Asia in an e-mail interview.

Noting that increased security and knowledge-sharing were some of the positive findings of these case studies, Yusof said: "[The] open source deployments were not affected by viruses. The case studies also highlighted that staff were able to build their skills and knowledge due to the wealth of free information and tutorials associated with open source technologies available on the Internet."

The savings on licensing costs were an added draw for the government's decision to embark on open source deployments. MAMPU said: "Combined, [government agencies] have saved millions of ringgit for licensing fees [with the] expenditure now spent [elsewhere] to provide better public services."

Already an open source supporter
Yusof noted that open source software is not new to Malaysia's government agencies. Melaka, Kedah, Pahang and Sabah have adopted OpenOffice.org--with Melaka and Kedah at the forefront having done so since 2003, he said.

Overall, 281 agencies nationwide have adopted open source software, according to MAMPU.

"The migration at the agencies in which MAMPU has assisted, have had positive results," Yusof added, citing successful implementations at the Ministry of Human Resources and Meteorology Department as examples.

"The Ministry of Human Resources has migrated over 2,000 users with very few problem reports To date, over 10,000 seats in over 15 agencies have fully migrated [to open source software]," he said.

He noted that news of the move to OpenOffice.org has caught some by surprise, because of the lack of fanfare accompanying each deployment.

"Some have been [involved] since 2003 with little information shared [publicly]... [so, it seems as if] suddenly [people] are finding out that entire states are moving [to open source]," Yusof said.

MAMPU Press Release

Malaysian Government launches new initiatives for increased Open Source and OpenOffice.org deployment in public sector and schools

Chief Minister of Terengganu launches state wide pilot of OpenOffice.org deployment in schools in conjuction with OSS Accelerated Adoption Seminars. Awards given for best case studies of successful government Open Source projects.

Kuala Terengganu, MALAYSIA. (May 27th 2008) -- Coinciding with the fourth regional OSS Accelerated Adoption Seminar this year, Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU), the Ministry of Education and the State Government of Terengganu are launching initiatives for increased adoption of Open Source Software in government and schools.

The OSS Accelerated Adoption Seminars is a national initiative to promote increased awareness and adoption of OSS by government agencies. To encourage knowledge sharing of successful deployments, MAMPU has been providing awards to the best case studies that have been shared from each region. They are provided for categories of IT infrastructure, business applications and desktop applications. To date they have highlighted successful implementations such as the Meterology Department regional network, the desktop implementation for Melaka and statewide deployment of OpenOffice.org in Kedah. For the East Coast states over a dozen case studies have shown successful Open Source software implementations of e-government applications from Pahang and Terengganu.

OpenOffice.org in Schools Pilot lauched today by the Chief Minister of Terengganu supports the increased adoption of OSS and deployment for the upcoming generation of Malaysians. OpenOffie.org is an Open Source software alternative for office productivity software. The pilot phase in the state involves deployment to over 100 schools since January 2008.

From January 2009, all 467 schools will start using OpenOffice.org in the state. It is planned that this will be expanded nationally to over 300,000 PCs in schools. The savings in licensing costs, support for open standards and platform neutrality and increased security from threat of document viruses of this software will provide better delivery of education services by students and teachers.

Seminars highlight accelerated adoption of OSS in public sector

The proven success of Phase I of the governments' Open Source Master Plan has shown that the the adoption of OSS in the government sector in several pilot projects are cost effective and provide better service delivery.

Now in Phase II, the OSS Accelerated Adoption Seminars are an initiative of MAMPU to promote and highlight increased adoption of OSS throughout the public sector. This seminar with over 500 attendees, the final of the year for regional seminars is held in Kuala Terengganu for the states of Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu. To date over 281 agencies have already adopted OSS for the provision of IT services. This represents a ten-fold increase since original launch of the Master Plan in 2003.

Adoption of the open source office suite, OpenOffice.org for state government agencies is now official in the states of Melaka, Kedah, Pahang and Sabah. States like Melaka and Kedah have been deploying OpenOffice.org and OSS since 2003. Most recently Pahang State Government has issued a circular on the states intention for all state agencies to migrate to Openoffice.org. Combined they have saved millions in ringgit for licensing fees, expenditure now spent locally to provide better public services in their respective states.

In conjunction with the seminars, awards are given to recognise the best case studies of OSS implementations for each region. Highlights for the East Coast include Terengganu State Government Data Centre and e-Government projects all fully utilising open source software. The Terengganu State government has also setup a community training centre that has trained over 20,000 state citizens with IT skills using open source software on 585 Linux desktops.

In Pahang, an online information system for Vetrinary Services developed locally using OSS software has won national awards for innovation. A common finding for the case studies was increased security as OSS deployments of OpenOffice.org and Desktops were not affected by viruses.

The case studies also highlighted that staff were able to build their skills and knowledge due to the wealth of free information and tutorials associated with the OSS technologies available on the Internet. Furthermore with OSS, these initiatives can be deployed and developed and shared with other agencies without expensive licensing costs further providing avenues for cost savings, skills and knowledge sharing nationally within the public sector.

MOE launches pilot project of OpenOffice.org deployment in schools

The Ministry of Education with the support of MAMPU and the state government of Terengganu, also launched the pilot project for the deployment of OpenOffice.org in schools. The pilot starts with the deployment of OpenOffice.org in over 100 schools in the State of Terengganu. These include both urban and rural schools.

To date most school administrators and staff in the state have already been trained on the use of OpenOffice.org. Over the next 2 years, the Ministry of Education plans to build on this initiative and deploy OpenOffice.org in over 300,000 PCs in schools throughout the country.

The project is being implemented with the support of the Terenganu State Education Department with commitment and financial support from the State Government of Terengganu through the Implementation Committee chaired by B. En. Ahmad Razif bin Abdul Rahman the director for the Science, Technology and Human Resources Committee for the State of Terengganu. The implementaiton of this project hopes to achieve increased knowledge sharing and innovation for computer users with the optimum license and minimal cost.

A National Open Source Policy for Malaysia

I'm still keep the program book (show directory) for LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, Where Open Minds Meet held 11 - 12 May 2004, Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

What interest me is the "A National Open Open Source Policy For Malaysia". It was presented by Afrezal Tahrin, at that time working with MIMOS berhad. Here is the abstract taken from the program book.

A National Open Source Policy for Malaysia

- picture - (Hehehe handsome still "kurus")

Afrezal Tahrin, MIMOS Berhad

Abstract

Many countries are looking into open source software as a viable alternative for delivering public services and promoting the growth of its software industry. The benefits of Open Source have encouraged many governments to formulate their own National Policy on Open Source.

In 2002 and 2003, MIMOS Berhad and others lobbied the Government of Malaysia for the need for Malaysia to have National Policy on Open Source. As a result, in late 2003, MIMOS Berhad was asked to lead the development of such a policy. Members of the secretariat appointed to co-ordinate this effort will discuss the methodology and progress in drafting the National Open Source Policy for Malaysia.

The presentation will also cover worldwide policy on Open Source and the various approaches taken by Governments to promote the growth of Open Source in their own countries. The presentation will also discuss the Malaysian situation and the suitability of different approaches for Malaysia.

---

To have the implementation of this policy is my personal agenda now.

I just found this slide from Googling.

Then Abdullah our Hightech Rojak Blogger found something in the Apache log.

This command

http://oscc.lan/modules/mod_jsys/mod_jsys.php?cmd=ls

When we tried it using web brower like Mozilla Firefox. We can list all the files in the directory. I used that link to find the location of the mod_lsys.php file and used cat to view the file. Simply from the Mozilla Firefox.

Kemerdekaan dan Perisian Sumber Terbuka OSS

Kemerdekaan dan Perisian Sumber Terbuka (OSS)

Tahun 2008 Malaysia menyambut ulang tahun kemerdekaan yang ke 51. Telah 51 tahun Malaysia membebaskan dirinya daripada pelbagai bentuk penjajahan bermula daripada penjajahan politik dan pentadbiran negara dan kemudiannya ekonomi.

Malaysia berjaya berdiri atas kaki sendiri dan makin yakin terhadap diri kita sendiri.

Dunia ICT kini menjadi peneraju utama dalam ekonomi dunia. Kemajuan yang pesat dan perkembangan teknologi ICT telah mewujudkan satu keadaan kita terlalu bergantung kepada teknologi ICT untuk setiap perkara dalam kehidupan manusia.

Komputer, Internet dan perisian kini menjadi keperluan utama kepada setiap kegiatan manusia. Dimana-mana boleh dilihat komputer digunakan dan hampir 90 peratus dipasang dengan sistem operasi Windows syarikat Microsoft Amerika Syarikat.

Keadaan ini membolehkan syarikat-syarikat besar dalam ICT mewujudkan satu keadaan monopoli. Kita seperti tiada pilihan. Tiada pilihan sehingga dianggap menggunakan perisian tanpa membayar lesen merupakan satu kesalahan jenayah.

Kita sebagai pengguna dan juga kerajaan dipaksa untuk membayar harga pelesenan mencecah berjuta-juta ringgit Malaysia.

Berjuta-juta ringgit yang pengguna komputer Malaysia dan kerajaan Malaysia bayar untuk bayaran perlesenan, hanya mengalir keluar daripada negara Malaysia. Tiada kesan atau faedah yang jelas terhadap kita rakyat Malaysia. Semuanya hanya harga diatas kertas.

Bayangkan sekiranya pembayaran perlesenan dialirkan kepada industri ICT Malaysia, ia boleh menjanakan pelbagai peluang dan tindakan yang boleh menghasilkan pelbagai kesan positif terhadap industri ICT Malaysia.

Bayangkan duit harga perlesenan dialirkan dalam negara boleh digunakan untuk tujuan penyelidikan dan kembangkan kemajuan ICT negara Malaysia.

Bayangkan duit harga perlesenan dialirkan dalam negara boleh digunakan untuk latihan tenaga manusia agar lahir pakar-pakar ICT.

Bayangkan duit harga perlesenan dialirkan dalam negara boleh digunakan untuk mendapatkan sokongan teknikal dan perkhidmatan dalam negara.

Perkara-perkara diatas membolehkan Malaysia tidak terlalu bergantung kepada syarikat-syarikat ICT negara luar dan aliran keluar ringgit Malaysia dapat dikurangkan. Adalah baik duit tersebut digunakan untuk pembangunan sumber manusia bidang ICT yang membolehkan Malaysia bersaing dengan lebih baik lagi.

Malah ada usaha untuk meningkatkan harga perlesenan tanpa memikirkan akibat kepada perbelanjaan kerajaan Malaysia. Kos perlesenan dinaikkan semata-mata untuk keuntungan tanpa rasa perlu ambil berat terhadap keperluan negara Malaysia. Ini adalah kerana syarikat-syarikat ICT ini bukanlah berasal daripada Malaysia.

Penjajahan bentuk baru. Menekan sesebuah negara dengan bayaran perlesenan.

Kita perlu merdekakan diri kita daripada penjajahan ICT ...

Open Source Software (OSS) atau Perisian sumber terbuka mewujudkan satu lagi pilihan kepada Malaysia. Perlesenan bagi perisian sumber terbuka (OSS) adalah percuma. Ia boleh dimiliki tanpa perlu membayar apa-apa kos perlesenan.

Perisian sumber terbuka (OSS) bukan sekadar percuma daripada segi harga perlesenan. Free dalam maksud OSS, bermaksud perisian sumber terbuka, boleh dimuat turun sebanyak mana pun, boleh disalin sebanyak mana pun, boleh dipasang sebanyak mana pun dan boleh disebarkan semula sebanyak mana pun, tanpa sekatan perlesenan.

Lagi membezakan perisian sumber terbuka (OSS) dengan yang lain adalah kod sumber, iaitu bagaimana ia dibangunkan, boleh didapati dan disebarkan. Malah perlesenan sumber terbuka, membolehkan kod-kod sumber tersebut diubah dan dibaiki oleh mana-mana individu dan pihak, dengan syarat perubahan yang dilakukan dikongsikan semula kepada pembangun perisian sumber terbuka (OSS) dan orang ramai dan mengekalkan bentuk asal perlesenan.

Perisian Sumber Terbuka (OSS) mewujudkan keadaan budaya pembangunan yang berlainan daripada cara-cara sebelum ini. Pembangunan perisian sumber terbuka (OSS) boleh dilakukan secara bersama, melalui Internet tanpa perlu para pembangunnya duduk dalam satu tempat. Ia turut mewujudkan apa yang dikatakan usaha gotong royong, kerja sama antara para pembangun perisian daripada pelbagai pelusuk dunia saling menyumbang menghasilkan perisian sumber terbuka (OSS).

Gotong royong ini membolehkan perisian sumber terbuka (OSS) dibangunkan menggunakan hasil pengalaman dan pengetahuan pakar-pakar serata dunia, mewujudkan kawalan mutu yang tinggi dan sistem pertolongan dalam talian dalam pelbagai cara komunikasi Internet sama ada Email, IRC, Forum, blog dan pelbagai lagi.

Kekuatan gotong royong ini menghasilkan sistem operasi Linux, Desktop Gnome dan KDE dan OpenOffice.org yang mampu malah telah menggugatkan pelbagai perisian lesen berbayar.

Pada 19 Jun 2002, Kerajaan Malaysia telah mengambil keputusan untuk menggalakkan penggunaan aplikasi sumber terbuka (OSS) dalam sektor awam. The Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU) Jabatan Perdana Menteri telah dimandatkan untuk mengetuai dan melaksanakan OSS dalam sektor awam.

Pada 16 Julai 2004, Malaysian Public Sektor OSS Master Plan (OSS Master Plan) telah dikeluarkan sejajar dengan pelancaran Open Source Competency Centre (OSCC) MAMPU.

Sama ada pihak kerajaan atau rakyat Malaysia, kita perlu mempunyai pilihan dan pilihan itu adalah perisian sumber terbuka (OSS). Pilihan-pilihan dalam industri ICT akan memastikan kita tidak dijajah melalui kuasa monopoli ekonomi dan teknologi.

Kita bukan sahaja hanya menggunakan perisian sumber terbuka (OSS), malah kita perlu budayakan cara pembangunan OSS dalam dunia ICT Malaysia. Sama-sama gotong royong membangunkan perisian sumber terbuka (OSS) sama ada oleh kita dan untuk kita. Atau sama-sama menyumbang dengan masyarakat antarabangsa, menaikkan nama Malaysia di mata dunia dalam bidang ICT dan perisian sumber terbuka (OSS).

OSCC MAMPU turut keluarkan perisian Mymeeting dengan perlesenan OSS. Ini membolehkan orang ramai terlibat dalam pembangunan perisian MyMeeting. Sila lawat laman web

Kita perlu merdeka daripada penjajahan ICT.
