Tackling the following two issues and working on making proposalOSS Support System

Support FrameworkEstablish common Service Level system by various investigations

Support Technology BaseEstablish and prioritize requirements for support technology by surveying the status of problem analysis tools and problem knowledge-base

Long-term Support for OSSLong-term Development Process Support

OSS community survey, OSS usage survey (including project assistance)Backward compatibility

Organize and Improve information concerning versionup/compatibility issues


OSS SupportOSS SupportOSS Support

OSS Usage in enterprise and social infrastructure system=> Long Term (Over 10years) support is highly required

OSS is developed in community by volunteers=> Uncertainty in support infrastructure and project schedule compared to commercial software

Support is provided by third parties such as SIers, Platform Vendors, Distributors=> Not always sufficient for users due to above OSS characteristics

=> Cannot always balance Costs with Profits


Advanced Case : OSS Middleware Support Service

System integration service using OSS MiddlewareSupport service for OSS Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL)System integration service using OSS MiddlewareSupport service for OSS Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL)

Advanced Case : OSS Middleware Support ServiceAdvanced Case : OSS Middleware Support Service(NEC)

Services targeted at popular OSS’s　　sendmail, Qpopper, Apache, Tomcat, Samba, WU-FTPD, Bind, OpenSSH,

OpenSSL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Squid, Namazu, UCD-SNMP

Features of Integration Service

Services ranging from consultation on design to on-site support for integration/evaluation by OSS experts

Menu items varying in the skill of OSS experts

Investigation on source code, if required

Collaboration with developers’ community

4. Expectation and Issues



Enterprise LinuxEnterprise LinuxEnterprise LinuxOSS increases business opportunities and promotes fair

competitionCreate new competitive market such as Support Business

“Proper compensation” stimulates IT industry

Proper compensation

Users need to acknowledge importance of support (usage) fee for OSS/Linux. Governmental leadership and guidance are desirable.

Clarification of Long Term Support and Development Roadmap

For the user’s peace of mind for future investment.

Clarifications of IP issues

Need environment where each customer does not have to worry


Emedded LinuxEmeddedEmedded LinuxLinuxNew Software market in embedded market

Software will circulate when Linux becomes common platform=> Possibility of the creation of a new software market

Common Technology – more broader base

Common technical team handles various projects based onsame Linux source code=> Reduction of Total costOS support and AP development expertise and technology developed for PC/server Linux can be utilized

Technical development and it’s standardization is needed

Still immature for real-time applications and ongoing development and standardization is necessary
