World Document Freedom Day

Tuesday March 25, 2008 22:42

by smudged papyrus head

March 26th sees the first "world document freedom day" celebrated in many states including Ireland to promote & raise awareness for Document Freedom and Open Standards.

Irish support comes from the Dundalk Institute of Technology. DkIT is a proposed site of OOoCon2008 as well. So, if you're into the idea of an open standard which allows you produce, open and alter documents using open source software across platforms then you should go to Dundalk & get a t-shirt. Apparantly they've been sent loads. They may even have umbrellas too. If you're against this, you can always boycott Dundalk and campaign against it hosting the OocCon2008 event. Either way you ought learn a bit more about the campaign.

"well if today is tuesday 52th tomorrow is & if today is thursday 27th then yesterday was"

Dundalk's Institute of Technnology input into marketing "open office"
http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2008/cfl/dundalk.html As things go less workers rights are abused in the production of Open Software than the production of the top five sportswear & equipment corporation lines. Likewise less peoples' lives are destroyed in the interest of marketing Opensoftware than in the maintainance of either Mc Donalds or Coca Cola which oddly enough don't sponsor Open software and that's why Tibetans love them.

stay on track.

Less advertising is sold on the disemination of open software ideology than is generated in the slim television time of mentally and physically handicapped special olympic athletes, which explains why you know how many Gold Medals Ireland won in China last summer but you've no idea how many formats of open software documents are out there.

Quite.

you get the point.

touch your toes.

stay off the bad cholesterol.

We'll need a new reporters without borders of course.
