19 FOSS Challenges -Oman-

20 Challenges Limited understanding of FOSS potential benefits at most sectors (Edu, Com, Gov, Private) specially with Decision Makers. IT managers in government have less confidence on FOSS technology due to limited FOSS skilled resources Due to less market demand, the IT commercial industry is not in favor to produce FOSS based products & supporting solutions. The Education system is not keen to diversify its IT curriculums.

21 FOSS Way Forward Directions -Oman-

22 FOSS Way Forward FOSS Framework ( ): CONTINUE jointing hands between ITA & SQU -still not enough to overcome the challenges-
