Brazil Endorses ODF As Recommended Standard
With the publication of version 2.0 of its e-Ping Interoperability
Framework, Brazil becomes the first country in South America to
officially recommend ODF. The framework states that all .xls, .doc
and .ppt files are in transition, meaning they do not comply anymore
with its technical policies, and that ODF is now the Brazilian
Government's officially recommended format.

Italy To Adopt ODF As A National Standard
Italy is now joining countries such as Malaysia that intend to recognize
ODF as a national standard. Italian standards bodies voted unanimously
to recognize ODF when the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) formally publishes ISOIEC 26300, which occurred on 30 November
2006 (see below).

French Parliament To Go Linux-OpenOffice-ODF
By June 2007, French deputies and their staff in the Assemblee Nationale
will complete a move of 1,154 desktops to a Linux operating system,
OpenOffice, Firefox, and what is likely to be an open source e-mail
program. The move was propelled by the so-called Carayon Report, which
recommended, among other things, that documents be saved in ODF and that
ODF be used by governments throughout the EU. The migration was also the
subject of a study by Atos Origen that pointed to considerable cost
savings.

Conference Considers Use of Open Standards, ODF In Poland
On 8 November 2006, the Polish Parliament (Sejm) held a conference
"Informatics Revolution – Open Standards of Information Exchange" under
the auspices of Sejm Speaker Marek Jurek, at which participants
discussed how an ICT strategy that uses open standards as a key enabling
technology could help position Poland as a technology leader. Speakers
included Sejm deputies Roman Czepe and Edward Siarka, and
representatives from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and OASIS, which
highlighted the steady emergence of ODF as the document exchange format
of choice for governments.
