The document discusses the strategic implementation of open source software (OSS) in local government, particularly focusing on the City of Cape Town. It emphasizes the benefits of OSS for local governance, such as cost savings, local skill development, and reduced dependence on foreign software, while also exploring international case studies as examples. The document proposes the establishment of an OSS competency center to further develop OSS capabilities and invites collaboration from other municipalities to create a strategic plan for OSS adoption.
