Malaysian Government releases first Open Source software package – MyMeeting

Posted on 5/8/2008, 11:49 pm, by Colin Charles, under General.

Today marks a big day in the history of the Malaysian Government – they’ve released their first fully open source software package, MyMeeting.

Poking around their Trac installation, they use PHP and MySQL 5 (5.0.51a from Ubuntu, even!). Of course their install documentation suggests a lot of Windows usage, but this is a step in the right direction.

Give it a twirl. Report bugs. How many more governments out there are writing and releasing open source software packages? Or is this a first?

    Looks like it’s a first. It will be a while before the government of Philippines can do such stuff.
