If this Open Government directive is applicable to OOo, then a great
opportunity could be to do our own news release (as immediately as
possible), something like: "OOo Community Ready to Meet Obama's Open
Government' Directive -- The OOo Community announced today that its
Information Communication Technology (ICT) suite of professional
productivity software applications are in compliance with the Obama
Administration's stipulation for 'open format' technology in its Open
Government push..... (etc.)" ~Christine

John, can that be leveraged to bring to contact either the Sunlight

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...."

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.
