"Obama Voices Support for ODF"
Interesting how open standards and open file formats become more and more of a political topic. Check out the following eWeek article: "Obama Voices Support for ODF". In this context, the statement by the German Federal Foreign Minister Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier also fits in:
"Modern information technology has turned the world into a village with amazing speed. It links people and builds bridges in a way which even quite recently we would have believed impossible.
An open, unhindered exchange of information in all areas of life is of fundamental importance for today's knowledge-based society. It is an important foundation for our shared objective: a peaceful, democratic, pluralistic society. The Open Document Format, as a completely open and ISO-standardized format, is an excellent vehicle for the free exchange of knowledge and information in the globalized age."
The full quote can be found here.
