Abstract

The role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for the Indonesian development is very important, especially in the application of e-government to support good, clean, transparent governance, and public service's improvement as a whole. Free Open Source Software (FOSS), is also an interesting interoperable ICT system, to be used and developed for making the self-made and legal software, which will have the promising benefits in the country, not only for the government but also useful in the public sectors, industries, human resources, etc. Both issues were launched by our government, while some constraints or obstacles are found during their implementation. This paper will discuss about e-government and FOSS policies in Indonesia, based on the available supported data, and recent efforts in the issues that made by educational institutions like universities. This paper will be divided into three parts: part I about the ICT's role for Indonesian development; part 2 about e-government and FOSS policies; part 3 about the implementation with some discussions on specific condition and situation; and finally it will be closed by the conclusion.
