The advance of information technology and communication in the life of our society is unavoidable nowadays. Information technology is a means to ease the work of men so as to encourage the ability to communicate between individuals, groups and countries and to boost the economy. In adopting or using the technology it is advised that we follow the rules applied so as not to create problems that would interfere with the rights of others. Based on the data regarding an infringement of intellectual property rights, Indonesia is a country included in the list of the top 10 in the world and the highest among the countries in Southeast Asia. To protect the number of violations of intellectual property rights and encourage the independence of the nation, the Indonesian government issued a policy of Act No. 19 of 2002 and then through the Ministry of Research and Technology, together with four ministerial they follow-up to the declaration of Indonesia, Go Open Source !. In an effort to implement such a policy, the Ministry of Research and Technology did the implementation of open source software policy to several locations in local government, universities and small and medium businesses. In the implementation of the policy to multiple locations on the open source software, of course sometimes it worked and sometimes not. One of the most successful city in implementing the open source software policy is the government of pekalongan city, so they received an award from the government. Looking at this success, the researchers are working to do a research on the process of the policy implementation for the open source in the community. The theory that researchers used to measure the success and failure of the policy implementation performance in open source devices is by using indicators of Donald S. Van Meter and Carl E. Van Horn. The indicators include Standard and Policy Targets, Resources, Relationships between organizations, Disposition Implementer and social conditions, politics, and economics. So the results of this study could provide input to the implementation process in the future for local government and other locations so as to achieve true national independence in the field of information technology with open source based.
