| 2 | TomW's Thoughts on Open 2020 | Later this week I am to take part in "Foundations of Open: Technology and Digital Knowledge Local 2020 Summit". This is a local summit, hosted by Senator Lundy. Ideas from it will be fed into the Australian Government's 2020 Summit in Canberra on 19 and 20 April 2008. I have been so busy helping organise the event, I have not given much thought as to exactly what I should say on the day and contribute to the main event. So here are some thoughts. I am typing this on one of the public access terminals in the main reading room of the National Library of Australia in Canberra, while waiting for some friends to visit their tour of the Turner to Monet at the National Gallery of Australia. This seems a particularlyappropriate place to think about the role of open source and open access as part of the long term strategy for the nation. But where to start? ... |

| Presentation on Taking Advantage of FOSS by Andrew Tridgell (ODP) | Open 2020 Taking Advantage of FOSS Andrew Tridgell Samba Team Why Open Matters Flexibility is the key The IT industry is simultaneously the industry most capable of being open, and most susceptible to being closed Corporate Choice If given the opportunity companies will choose proprietary solutions, as proprietary solutions enable monopolies, and monopolies lead to easy profits Direction of society The benefits of open computing to society as a whole are obvious The challenge is to find ways to encourage the elements of that society to make the open choice FOSS is Established Free software is here to stay Already a major force in embedded computing An increasingly significant player in computing infrastructure Still small in desktop computing, but growing The future of FOSS Free software is here to stay Already a major force in many markets An increasingly significant player in computing infrastructure Still small in mainstream desktop use, but growing Benefitting from free software To gain maximum benefit we must Eliminate structural impediments to the use of free software Reduce the ability of companies to use anti-competitive means against free software Maximise the portability of information between vendors What needs to be done? Government role is key Governments must strive to maximise the benefit to society of the increasing use of free software in the IT industry Proprietary companies are likely to become increasingly desperate in their attempts to hold back the tides of change Australian governments should lead by example, by following best practices in interfacing with society, using open document formats and software that can be used on all platforms Australian governments should ensure that taxpayer funded software development should result in open software Immediate Concerns Patent reform Software patents are still a major threat to the IT industry, and free software in particular Copyright reform Years of poor copyright legislation have left us with a huge mess. We need a serious cleanup effort. Use of FOSS in schools We need to enable the use of FOSS throughout the school system Open document formats Governments need to wholeheartedly embrace open document formats and open interfaces | |
| Submission to Australia 2020: Dr Andrew Tridgell | Over the last decade FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) has progressed from being something that only hobbyists are interested in to now being a major part of the IT industry. Free software now powers many of the worlds largest computing systems, is essential for much of the core infrastructure of the Internet and is at the heart of a huge number of consumer devices. | |

| Abstract: Demonstrations by Tom Worthington | Tom Worthington will demonstrate carbon neutral and open source hardware, software and open access educational systems developed and used in Canberra, including a carbon neutral, energy efficient desktop computer, an open source software laptop and open hardware hand held computer as well as the first public demonstration of a new global open access research e-publishing system being developed in Canberra. | |
| Submission to the Australia 2020 Summit by Tom Worthington | TOPIC 1: The future of the Australian economy The future of the Australian economy will depend on having an educated workforce. The skills needed for this digital economy will be vital to our future. Computers and networks will be essential to the future, as is access to information. The principles developed by computer professionals for the creation of "Open Source" software have now been expanded to "Open Access" licenses for publications and other information. This can aid government, industry, education and individuals, encouraging the transfer of ideas and promoting Australia worldwide. Also by making for more efficient computer systems and networks, this can reduce carbon emissions. | |

| 12 | A National Spatial Data Policy Agenda | A National Spatial Data Policy Agenda19 March 2008Foundations of Open: Technology and Digital KnowledgeLocal 2020 SummitDavid Hocking, Chief Executive OfficerFoundations of Open: Technology and Digital KnowledgeLocal 2020 SummitThe implementation of a National Spatial Data Policy Agenda will: 1. Establish a national mechanism for discoverability of spatial data. Discoverability is necessary to effectively deliver spatial data when and where it is needed, especially in emergencies but increasingly for general use, and would unlock enormous opportunities for innovation and creativity with the use of these data. 2. Open up to the wider community public sector data, which will provide transparency in decisionmaking, and free up a valuable resource for scientific, creative and commercial purposes. 3. Reduce the incidence and cost of duplication across agencies by clearly articulating a policy for creating spatial databases and identify the point of truth responsibilities (that is the agency or individual who is responsible for authorising the data to the desired level of quality). 4. Develop a national pricing model that minimises or eliminates the practice of pricing data at more than the cost of access, a practice which represents a considerable barrier to most users. Cost free access is the most user-friendly option. But government custodians do need funding to manage their data. Policy directives supported by adequate funding are needed. 5. Improve the quality of spatial data at the point of truth to improve accuracy and value of spatial data. Currently, we have cumbersome methods of passing corrections back to custodians. This can take months or may not be possible at all. Frequent users then have the problem of storing yet another version of the data. This is very inefficient for the nation. 6. Enhance the opportunities for innovation within the wider community, research, academic and private sectors. Low cost and ease of access will dramatically increase use and creative endeavour. 7. Allow for growth of the private sector of the spatial information industry by reducing data costs that can serve to inhibit investment in innovation and the development of products and services for export. 8. Position Australian companies to export services and products. Key aspects of a world class spatial policy framework include the establishment of:1. an Australian Spatial Data Infrastructure2. a National Digital Elevation Framework, 3. a Fully Integrated Positioning Framework 4. and a mechanism that will deliver a coordinated approach to policy. This mechanism should include all stakeholder groups to ensure that a national policy framework reflects the widest use of publically held spatial data. The Australian Government should institute a National Spatial Advisory Committee similar to that envisaged for infrastructure, to advise on: 1. Spatial data standards 2. Fundamental data sets 3. Quality auditing 4. Point of truth agencies 5. Creative Commons licensing arrangements 6. Access and pricing arrangements 7. Copyright and privacy arrangements and policy 8. National consistency and interoperability standards and arrangements 9. A framework for a fully integrated global navigation satellite systems infrastructure and infrastructure for utilizing the other emerging forms of positioning systems The US Department of the Interior recently established an advisory committee that includes representation from varied interests including the private sector, non-profit sector, academia and government. The body reports to the Federal Geographic Data Committee, which is chaired by the Secretary of the Interior.1 1 US Department of the Interior, Media Release, 29 January 2008 Similarly, the New Zealand Geospatial Office is responsible for co-coordinating the New Zealand Geospatial Strategy, evaluating its implementation, and providing administrative and programme support to the Geospatial Executives Group (GEG). This body is tasked with a national leadership role and works closely with and in support of the private sector. National LeadershipPricing arrangements for spatial data have been the subject of a detailed study by the Productivity Commission in 2001, which found that cost recovery should be implemented for economic efficiency reasons, not merely to raise revenue. A Circular by the Department of Finance2 stated that cost recovery should not be applied where it is not cost effective, where it is inconsistent with government policy objectives orwhere it would unduly stifle competition or industry innovation. Problems persist because the pricing policies of some jurisdictions are not consistent with cost recovery principles established by the Productivity Commission, particularly in relation to the treatment of fundamental data and in relation to competitive neutrality principles. Where a pricing policy would see fundamental spatial information – that is a public good –charged for on the basis of full cost recovery, it is inefficient and will lead to sub-optimal outcomes for the economy as a whole.3 As Australia is developing an increasing reliance on becoming a modern, spatially enabled economy, the policies applied to access and pricing need to be revisited and made relevant for the needs of the 21st century. The development of new products and services and the availability of information to serve the community is fundamental to a sound spatial data policy framework. It is paramount that the development of key aspects of a national spatial data policy framework recognizes and includes the private sector as a significant stakeholder. 2 Department of Finance and Administration, Circular 2005/09 3 ACIL Tasman study for ASIBA, Spatially Enabling Australia, 2007 Recommendations1. That the Australian Government secures the agreement of COAG to implement a nationally consistent policy on spatial data access, pricing, and standards.2. That the Australian Government secures the agreement of COAG to fund the development of an Australian Spatial Data Infrastructure4 , a nationally consistent Digital Elevation Model and a Fully Integrated Positioning Framework. 3. That a comprehensive spatial policy be developed by a National Spatial Advisory Committee. 4. That a study be undertaken to quantify the benefit to Australia in terms of increased innovation and capacity building through the implementing of the next generation of spatial policies. The study should also quantify the contribution of these policies to creating a far more sustainable and internationally competitive industry. 4 GeoConnections, Canada, Building the Business Case for Investments in Geospatial Information Technology, www.geoconnections.org, INSPIRE, Infrastructure for Spatial Information In Europe |
