"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always." Mohandas Gandhi

Mais apoio ao ODF por parte da Alemanha, India e Brasil

O primeiro workshop do sector público para o ODF teve lugar em Berlin nos dias 29-30 de Outubro e teve como anfitriões o ministério dos estrangeiros Alemão.
Parece que este ministério já está a usar nos seus portáteis o GNU/Linux e o OpenOffice.org, esta utilização vai se estender às workstations diplomáticas em meados de 2008.

Também a cidade de Bristol, no Reino Unido está a migrar para StarOffice e apoia a utilização do ODF.

India e Brasil são também países onde se aposta fortemente na utilização de standards abertos.


The Foreign Office has already linked its foreign missions in a network using open-source programs and shifted to OpenOffice and Linux operation systems on their laptops and has in view to extend this program to all diplomatic workstations by the middle of 2008.


Brazil and India are also leaders in the use of open standards in the office area. Deivi Kuhn of Serpro, a company coordinating the use of open source in
Brazil, declared that ODF standard adopted by the International Organization for Standardization, a good tool providing both access to knowledge
and ensuring user freedoms, was mandatory for e-government state interoperability standards. In India, in the federal state of Assam, PCs with Linux and OpenOffice were given to students and the migration to open source software was in progress in government offices.
