Current OSS Support Activities
Produce reports on major OSS regarding delivering patterns of software and support to end users in order to reduce feelings of uncertainty.
• Demonstrate that support vendors (PF vendors, SIers, etc) usually provide commercial product level support for major OSS.
• Make clear that for major OSS, strong development communities exist, and development is carried out by organized activity.
• Point out different support choices (separation of development and support)
•Same level support as conventional proprietary products•Low cost self-support for users with sufficient knowledge and resources
• Define the standard support level based on collected data.

Information Availability Issues and Suggestions
(3)Case studyinformation
Create recommendation schemes for web sites with high quality information.
a) information is available on various media web sites, individual web sites. Sometimes as part of vendor product information.b) It’s hard for users to determine the quality and freshness of the information
(4)OSS technicalinformation
a) vendor information still will be the main source of information for users.b) but, it’s necessary to define the contents of information and guidelines on how the information shall be represented.
a) Information is published on web sites as vendor product information.b) Contents of information vary from vendor to vendor.c) It’s difficult for users to find the right information.
(2)Vendor technicalinformation
a) Support self conducted benchmarks by users.b) List items based on whether they can be budgeted.c) Analyze OSS advantages.
a) results depend on vendors and analysts who conduct the benchmark.
b) OSS advantages are not fully understood by users.

IP Related Issues
WG will discuss the possibility of providing guidance for development activities.
There are two kinds of developers, enterprise developers and individual developers.Enterprises may have different development procedures.
(3)Cooperation with development communities
Vendors, SIers and distributors may adopt different business models. They sometimes provide different interpretations regarding the same issue.
(2)Vendor, SIer, distributor formation
WG will discuss the methods of providing correct information to users regarding IP related issues.
There are vague anxieties among users from FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt).

“Towards OSS New Era from Asia”Four Agreements on November 14, 2003 Osaka
(among JISA、CSIA、and FKII)
4. The cooperation process among the three countries should be accelerated next year. It is suggested that “Japan-China-Korea OSS Promotion Partnership” activities will be held in Beijing, in March, 2004. Sapporo in July(tentative), 2004, and Seoul in November, 2004.
3. The industries from the three countries will strongly recommend the governments to procure OSS in order to guarantee and improve the quality of OSS.
2. The promotion bodies in the three countries are expected to make concrete action plans as soon as possible.
(1) Create a directory (“OSS know-who list”) by which every activity on OSS in each country is easily understood to accelerate the cooperation among the three countries.
(2) Establish appropriate Working Groups such as Standardization WG, Embedded WG, and Operation / Support /Business Model WG, Human Resource WG to accelerate the concrete cooperation.
1. IT service industries from Japan, China and Korea will take the lead to establish an OSS (Open Source Software) promotion body in each country and create “Japan-China-Korea OSS Promotion Partnership (a tentative name)” where the activities of the three bodies will be united.
