- 開源軟體應用評估、使用效益與風險評估，並說明導入機關之治理制度與模式。
- 說明開源軟體導入，在需求、設計、開發、測試、上線、驗收等階段的注意事項，並將開發成果釋出，營造開源生態系。

The Ministry of Digital Affairs, in order to convey open source concepts to public sector agencies nationwide and to promote the deep adoption and widespread understanding of open source knowledge within government institutions—thereby enabling flexible use of open source software for system planning, development, and implementation—plans to launch the Sector Open Source Software Playbook in 2026. The contents of the playbook are outlined as follows:
- An introduction to open source software, including its development background, international trends and applications, as well as basic concepts and types of licensing terms.
- Evaluation of open source software adoption, including usage benefits and risk assessment, along with an explanation of governance frameworks and models for adopting agencies.
- Guidance on the adoption of open source software, covering key considerations across stages such as requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, and acceptance, as well as the release of development results to foster an open source ecosystem.
- Sustainable operation and management of open source software.
