I always loved learning by counter-example.
-
"From September 2008 onwards, Belgium's federal services must use ODF when exchanging documents, though other formats will still be allowed for internal use"
-
Chandershekhar, secretary, Ministry of Information & Technology, Government of India said, "We are glad to note that with formation of a National ODF alliance, India too would be playing a pivotal role in spearheading the ODF revolution."
Global Zen
Yesterday was something of a peak-activity day for me, with my "Zen of Free" keynote at The Server Side Symposium in Barcelona in the morning and then a talk at the British Computer Society Hampshire Branch AGM in the evening. The slides for the Hampshire event are online so that attendees can get them (the slides for TSS are essentially the same). For the first time I put together a reading list for that event, which is as follows:
- Coase's Penguin - Yochai Benkler
- The Wealth of Networks - Yochai Benkler [UK | US]
- Innovation Happens Elsewhere - Richard Gabriel & Ron Goldman [UK | US]
- Licensing White Paper - Sun's Open Source Group
- Software Freedom Essays
Next week is busy too - I'll be speaking at OSBC in London and at GUADEC in Barcelona (again). If you are either, be sure to say hello.
