Hello everyone.
I couldn't find anything on these with a search of the openoffice.org
domain. So, hopefully, no-one will have already posted on this... Also,
I hope this is the right place to post this sort of thing? Apologies if not.
The UK parliament has set up an e-petition site. It is currently in beta
testing phase. On it are two e-petitions which I think might interest
this discussion group and members might want to "sign" said petitions -
check your eligibility to do so first though please! The links are below:
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ODFinNA/ (Petition to: Adopt Open Document
Format in National Archives)
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/opendoc/ (Petition to: Mandate the use of
open formats (ODF, PDF) for all electronically stored/transmitted
government data)
Both petitions say it all really and I would urge you to "sign" them.
You will be bringing pressure to bear on the UK Government to recognise
that ODF is an ISO mandated open document format (ISO 26300) that should
be adopted by public and private bodies to ensure past, present and
future data/document portability and accessibility.
Regards,
Dave Gair
