Sharing the Spirit – ICT Software For Everyone in 2007

Greetings and Happy New Year to everyone! I would like to share my personal goals and dedications for iFOSSF [0] in 2007, these goals can only be achieved through the help of my team and the community, I welcome your thoughts and actions.

Evolving the iFOSSF web site as a resourceful Knowledge Base for stakeholders searching for relevant guidance, trends and opportunities for FOSS [0] adoptions. We will achieve this by encouraging community self-help whereby thought leadership will be identified to sharing experiences, creating useful ideas and strategies, open for all to learn and benefit from.
Identification of relevant critical programs with both short and long-term partner-lead projects that will revolutionize the FOSS Ecosystem anticipated within the next 2-4 years; this will be achieved through

FOSS Education & Research Initiative to devise a set of FOSS Qualification and Certification Programs
Collective Intelligence Initiative evolving and developing an ICT [0]/FOSS "Community of Experts" to strengthen and lead iFOSSF outreach
iFOSSF Leadership Initiative to develop a global "FOSS Partners and Leaders in Service Network" to develop and lead iFOSSF programs globally

Cultivating and showcasing success stories including work-in-progress as means for Social and Economic empowerment through FOSS.
In management, we will build a strong volunteer workforce that is driven by individual excellence, mutual respect, cooperation and a passion for technology promoting global sharing.
Last but not least, the above dedications will help us build a concrete trusted brand to receive the resources and sponsorships required to achieve our mission by promoting an open and inclusive process.

iFOSSF was envisaged as a result of our strong sense of responsibility towards humanity. Our existence as means to fulfill it, but our existence is not a few individuals. It is to be cultivated because of an Ecosystem that needs YOU and YOUR support as well as contributions in any form you deem helps return what this world has shared with and given to us.
