John, can that be leveraged to bring to contact either the Sunlight Foundation or the Open Government Directive? http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/12/white-house-orders-agencies-to-open-up/ The large user base of OOo can be used to speed start the administrations plans, especially if ODF is the main format for publishing tables and databases. From the details "h. Each agency shall publish its annual Freedom of Information Act Report in an open format on its Open Government Webpage in addition to any other planned dissemination methods...." http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ogi-directive.pdf Adobe's been angling to try to force PDF there across the board, but it is a format for data only in the terminal stage of the lifecycle of data. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
