I want to share this link from Jomar Silva from ODF Alliance who organized and participate on an ODF Workshop through CONSEGI http://homembit.com/2009/09/odf-workshop-and-consegi-2009.html
Very interesting points and debates including: "Nagarjuna, from Free Software Foundation India. Briefly, Nagarjuna argued that it’s necessary to consider the use of proprietary software and standards a crime, and also argued that we need a stronger reaction against proprietary technologies (strong, not aggressive, and used the example of civil disobedience from Gandhi) ." Second day: "was surprised by the number of CONSEGI’s attendants who also participated in the Workshop. Those who participated, had the opportunity to see a little more about what is being done about open standards, free software and ODF in three countries: Brazil, Ecuador and Cuba. They also watched the delivery of the ODF Award to Vitório Furusho." "In Brazil The current estimate is that we have over 1.5 million users of ODF only in governments in Brazil, and with the new signatures to the Brasilia Protocol, we will overcome the barrier of 2 million before the end of this year." To get an idea of the success of ODF Workshop among its participants, we have offers to host the workshops in 2010 and 2011 and I have no doubt that those will be great events! The presentations made at the ODF Workshop will be published here. http://odfworkshop.com/agenda_en.html -- Alexandro Colorado OpenOffice.org Español IM: j...@jabber.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
