2. OSEPA ConsortiumThe OSEPA project is being implemented by a
consortiumof twelve partners across European local and
regionalPublic Administrations which are mainly
nationalassociations of municipalities and communities,
regions,municipalities and knowledge organizations 3. OSEPA
Consortium 4. OSEPA ObjectivesFOSS represents a potential of
significant competitivenessgains of its adopters, both for public
administrations as wellas citizens and companies.Public
administrations can play a unique role as a catalystforce in
demonstrating the value of FOSS and in removinglegal and
organizational obstacles and inhibitors by actingas early adopters.
5. OSEPA ObjectivesOSEPA aims to explore this potential through
interregionalcooperation and to cultivate a debate among
publicadministrations in this direction with a view to: Analyze,
promote knowledge and foster awareness on the main benefits and
disadvantages, cost evidence and effectiveness resulting from FOSS
adoption and use Explore, identify, build consensus on the
framework conditions enabling FOSS 6. OSEPA ObjectivesPromote
awareness, exchange and disseminateknowledge, good practice and
case studies regardingtechnical, financial and legal aspects of
FOSS adoptionby European public administrations in order to
reduceuncertainty, inertia and resistance-to-change that
limitexperimentation and adoption of FOSS software.Discuss and
promote the adoption of internal policies,mission statements,
methodologies and action plansfacilitating European public
administrations toexperiment, exploit and benefit from FOSS
solutions. 7. OSEPAs Main ResultsGood Practice Guide on FOSS use
among EuropeanPublic AdministrationsSurvey of current FOSS usage in
20 EU countries.A requirements analysis and guidelines on
softwareprocurement policies of European
PublicAdministrations.Analysis and recommendations on European
andNational Policies and practices on FOSS. 8. OSEPAs Main
ResultsTwo European conferences to explore the strategicimpact of
FOSS adoption and relate it to the existingEuropean Public
Administrations technology andservice environments.Interregional
events (9 Workshops, 6 Study Visits & 6Site Visits) aiming to
facilitate exchange of experiences. 9. OSEPAs Main ResultsTwo

OSEPA EU Survey1088 responses 12. FOSS awareness and experienceThe
great majority of survey participants (85,1%) are awareof FOSS. IT
staff and managers have a higher FOSSawareness level (95%-97%) than
administrative staff (67-69%). Central government bodies have a
more positiveexperience with FOSS than local or regional
authorities.Larger organisations are also more likely to have
extendedexperience with FOSS compared to small-size
publicadministrations. The majority of survey participants
(62%)reported some FOSS migration experience. Mostrespondents state
that their organisations either do notmodify FOSS programs at all
(51%) or only carry out minorcode development (8%). Central
government departmentsand organisation and regions seem to be more
experiencedwith source code modifications compared to
localadministrations (cities, towns, provinces). 13. FOSS attitudes
and policiesSurvey results show IT staff is considered to havea
more active and supportive attitude towardsFOSS, compared to
administrative, non-IT staffthat is largely regarded as either
reluctant orindifferent (up to 57%) to FOSS usage.The majority of
public administrations (65%)has not adopted any official,
FOSS-specificpolicy or strategy. The highest rate of FOSSpolicy
adoption is to be found among centralgovernment organisations,
followed by regions orterritorial associations and cities,
municipalitiesand provinces. 14. FOSS benefits and barriersFactors
most frequently identified as FOSSbenefits based on overall level
of agreement withpredefined statements are:lower procurement cost
(86%) and strategicindependence from vendors (83%)community sharing
(83%), code access andcustomisation (79%)performance (53%),
security (55%) and supportof public infrastructures ( 59%) 15. FOSS
use and integrationAs also shown in previous surveys the OSEPA
surveyconfirms that although proprietary applications have
thelargest usage share in both servers and clients,
FOSSapplications maintain a fair amount of use (more than 10%)in
servers. FOSS usage is higher in web servers (reachingalmost 50%),
content management (up to 45%), socialsoftware (25%) and intranet
tools and applications (32%).It is also fairly used in server
operating systems (25%),testing environments (27%), databases (20%)
and bugreporting tools (18.5%) . Exclusive use of FOSS isreported
in content management tools (31%), intranetapplications (23.5%) and
web servers (19.7%). 16. Grazie
