Abstract
According to extension of using open source software packages in recent years especially in developing countries, preparing a comprehensive roadmap for open source software development in Iran is essential. This research identifies and prioritizes factors important for preparing a precise roadmap in this field. So after investigating some of the most important researches for preparing open source software plans and roadmaps, 21 important factors were selected. After designing two questionaries and doing survey, 8 factors were elicited as the main necessities of preparing open source software roadmap in Iran and then were prioritized. At last, these necessities presented in three main aspects of technology roadmap including national strategies and market policies, aspect of product and technology and finally the aspect of sources and infrastructures. The necessities presented in this article because of considering capacities existence in Iran software industry can show factors essential for preparing open source software roadmap for Iran.
