The Norwegian Minister of Government administration and reform has
established a committee for forming IT-standards for public
sectors. One of
the goals is to be more independent of Microsoft, and the standards
are
meant to be obligatory.
Microsoft might be a dominating software producer also in the
future, but
then the company has to fulfil the demands for open standards, says
the
minister Heidi Grand Røys. The minister wants more competition and
to make
it more convenient to use other operating systems than Windows.
I think, btw, it would be useful to start a section of our newsletter
focused on ODF news. This will accomplish a couple of things:
* make it apparent to the 30K or so who subscribe that ODF is gaining
and often with it OOo
* make it easier to identify areas that should be approached to
consider OOo as a finished work and work in progress whose shape they
can affect.
best,
Louis
