Thanks, but finally I've already posted your picture at [1] and is
used at [2]. I shouldn't have done this in practice, but as soon you
got the authorization, could you confirm the license I specified is
correct?

What is great is that the wiki used by the Document Foundation is
using the InstantCommons Wiki feature, so that I don't need to
reupload images from Wikipedia Commons and I can use them directly.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Kerala Legislative Assembly has moved to Free Software and Libreoffice

2014-07-23 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
The Users Support mailing list had this post sometime yesterday from Tim
Lloyd;

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/open-document-formats-selected-to-meet-user-needs
the link says it all. Let's hope this trend continues


Later in the thread Jim Seymour said


Two governments in less than a week's time.  Very good news! :)
Regards,
Jim


William that looks like a good way of handling it.  For online stuff it's
quite easy to adapt or change if someone does object and in this case it's
difficult to imagine they would object anyway.  Printed Documentation that
gets widely distributed might need to be a bit more careful when uncertain
but that is a different bottle of crisps altogether.

Thanks Tim, Jim and William!
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Kerala Legislative Assembly has moved to Free Software and Libreoffice

2014-07-17 Thread Anivar Aravind
The Kerala Legislative Assembly[1] (Kerala state , India) as of July 17,
2014 produces all its documentation, both printed and digital, on a Free
Software platform using Libreoffice .  Hon. Speaker announced  in
Legislative assembly yesterday . The point which makes this undertaking
unique is the fact that the complete documentation at the Niyamasabha is
done in Malayalam, a complex text indic scipt

The migration process is implimented with the support of  Zyxware
Technologies[2] in association with ICFOSS[3], a govt centre to promote
foss  and Swathanthra Malayalam Computing(SMC)[4] , a FOSS developer
community working on Indian Language support and localizations

See below poster .

https://www.facebook.com/SMC.Project/posts/751600641550557

Some media reports about the same is published in vernacular language press
and it is available here

http://www.madhyamam.com/news/298250/140716
http://www.eastcoastdaily.com/2014/07/16/free-software/

The migration was in the light of Government of Kerala's recent order
announced its intention to transition computers in the Departments,
institutions and PSUs under it to Free and Open Source platforms, in the
opportunity caused due to expiry of support period to Windows XP.  [5]

International centre for free and open source software(ICFOSS) has brought
out a Handbook last month to support the process of migration [6]
