Un llamado a la comunidad muy interesante, el gobierno de Francia esta
proponiendo y vistando la idea de establecerse en estandares abiertos para
la productividad OpenDocuments. Y Louis pide una generacion de contenido
en (blogs, cartas, articulos) exposicion a OpenDocuments.
Es importante que la administracion francesa pueda tener tambien una
exposicion en el mundo y una retroalimentacion de la misma. En concreto
creo que la exposcion de este proceso ante los medios puede refortalecer
la causa y acelerar el proceso de implementacion de estandares abiertos en
los gobiernos y empresas del mundo.

Subject: [newsletter] Speak Out: ODF in France
Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 16:41:16 -0500
This is important and you can help.
There is at present a public call in France for comments on a
proposed reference set that would guarantee interoperability for
documents throughout the government. [0] The idea here as elsewhere
is to promote open standards and stop the waste proprietary formats
impose. The OpenDocument format (ODF), which is now slated to be an
ISO standard and is already an OASIS standard, has been proposed as
the document standard by the French body. [1] But it is by *no means*
a sure thing.
How can you help?
By commenting in the public space provided and by writing about it in
blogs, articles, letters--anywhere that is public.
We need people who are involved in promoting the ODF, which
OpenOffice.org and many other applications use, to help publicize the
importance of the French administrations using an already-approved
open standard like ODF. Massachusetts' decision to use ODF has
galvanized the US and much of the world but in many ways this is just
as important--and the consequences could be even greater.
Why is it important? It is important because an open standard for
documents such as ODF not only guarantees interoperability and a
stable document environment both now and in the future but also
removes vendor lock in and thus gives the user real freedom of choice.
And it is further important to consider that because the ODF is
natively supported by at least one open-source productivity suite,
OpenOffice.org, cost is no barrier to its use.
Speak out.
