thought it would be wise to have the dust settle a bit before writing about 
them.&lt;br /&gt;
+What was announced last week? The OpenOffice.org project had opened a project 
called the ODF Toolkit. What this project was all about, really, was to design 
a toolkit for ODF Documents. It included, obviously, the capacity the create 
applications producing ODF. But the goal was much broader than that; the ODF 
Toolkit was and is a piece of the essential &amp;#8220;plumbing&amp;#8221; for 
processing ODF documents.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In this regard, Sun (as the main copyright holder and steward of the 
OOo project) decided to have it &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org&quot;&gt;hosted elsewhere than on 
OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt; and emphasize the open aspect of this project. As 
such, IBM joined the announcement and the project. This is to show that ODF is 
not &amp;#8220;an OpenOffice-thing&amp;#8221; as we heard too much in the 
past.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;All in all, this is a very good move. The license of the toolkit has 
been changed to the Apache License 2.0, which opens the project to the whole 
Apache ecosystem (and to IBM as well) but still keeps the compatibility with 
the OpenOffice.org project (OpenOffice.org 3.0 uses the LGPL v3 license).  On 
a strategic point of view, the toolkit aims to be the  center for 
contributions related to ODF applications and ODF platforms. On the 
OpenOffice.org level, this allows some indirect contributions, as the ODF 
Toolkit will have obvious influence in the future of OpenOffice.org. Meanwhile, 
you can learn more and contribute to the future of OpenOffice.org through &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ODF%40WWW&quot;&gt;the ODF 
@ WWW project&lt;/a&gt;, which aims to explore new ways to edit ODF documents 
and new use cases for OpenOffice.org.&lt;/p&gt;

+What was announced last week? The OpenOffice.org project had opened a project 
called the ODF Toolkit. What this project was all about, really, was to design 
a toolkit for ODF Documents. It included, obviously, the capacity the create 
applications producing ODF. But the goal was much broader than that; the ODF 
Toolkit was and is a piece of the essential &amp;#8220;plumbing&amp;#8221; for 
processing ODF documents.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In this regard, Sun (as the main copyright holder and steward of the 
OOo project) decided to have it &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org&quot;&gt;hosted elsewhere than on 
OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt; and emphasize the open aspect of this project. As 
such, IBM joined the announcement and the project. This is to show that ODF is 
not &amp;#8220;an OpenOffice-thing&amp;#8221; as we heard too much in the 
past.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;All in all, this is a very good move. The license of the toolkit has 
been changed to the Apache License 2.0, which opens the project to the whole 
Apache ecosystem (and to IBM as well) but still keeps the compatibility with 
the OpenOffice.org project (OpenOffice.org 3.0 uses the LGPL v3 license).  On 
a strategic point of view, the toolkit aims to be the  center for 
contributions related to ODF applications and ODF platforms. On the 
OpenOffice.org level, this allows some indirect contributions, as the ODF 
Toolkit will have obvious influence in the future of OpenOffice.org. Meanwhile, 
you can learn more and contribute to the future of OpenOffice.org through &lt;a

 &lt;p&gt;Most of Moody&amp;#8217;s links lead to articles in Russian, so I 
cannot glean anything from them. However, when he runs them through software 
translation, Moody discovers that Russia plans to have one million computers in 
schools by 2010, and their default software platform will be locally-customized 
open source applications (presumably including Linux, OpenOffice, etc). After a 
three-year period, schools will be permitted to switch back to proprietary 
programs, but they&amp;#8217;ll have to pay the licensing fees on their own. I 
do not expect many will be interested by that
