Very quietly, and without much fanfare, the South African Bureau of Standards has aligned itself with open standards, rather than with proprietary software as the norm among South Africans.
Paul Jacobson and Andrew Rens were there when it all went down, and spoke to Rebecca Kahn.
This is an important issue to get involved in for an international community like iCommons. If you want to find out what the situation is in your country, have a look at the NoOOXML site, which provides a lot of background information. The site also has extensive coverage of the efforts by MSFT to influence the voting process - and what you can do to make sure your Government fully understands the relevance of the issue and can make an informed decision. There are also a number of mailing lists where people can get further support and help. What happened in South Africa is fantastic, but it needs to spread to other countries! philipp (South Africa) · Aug 02nd, 2007 5:23 pm
