The document summarizes Malaysia's MyGIFOSS program which provides guidelines for adoption of open source software (OSS) in the public sector. It outlines objectives like promoting interoperability and reducing costs. Recommendations include using OSS and open standards, particularly those recognized internationally. Examples are given of recommended OSS for areas like desktop applications, server applications, and vertical applications. The document is intended to guide public sector agencies and allow MyGIFOSS to be improved based on feedback.
