Document Freedom Day

Today, four days earlier than the rest of the world, we have held a small event attended by about 20 people including a local TV crew to celebrate the first Document Freedom Day. Adi and I gave two short presentations on open standards and their benefits, document formats, ODF , OOXML and the latter's ongoing and embarrassing standardization process. Even if OOXML is labeled 'Open Standard' soon by ISO, we're determined to continue the campaign of raising awareness and trying to educate the Romanian public about the merits of opennes and true interoperability.

pont: de ce nu faci blogul in romana? strainii stiu de linux, romanii mai putin. ;)

lilith: da, probabil voi face un blog separat in romana. Am mai avut doua si le-am unit, dar continutul in en si ro are tinte atat de diferite incat e mai bine sa revin la doua.
