V vednost. Za SIST.SI bom glede glasovanja o OOXML sestavil en kratek dopis z nekaj dejstvi. Ve kdo, koga točno je treba glede tega kontaktirati na SIST-u? Na spletni strani http://www.sist.si/slo/g1/g122.htm se mi zdi primerna oseba Drago Majcen. Lepo pa bi bilo, če bi tako pismo podpisalo več 'subjektov' (društev, organizacij, podjetij ...). *Če lahko kdo pomaga pri kontaktih glede tega, se priporočam.* Za LUGOS in Kiberpipo bom jaz vprašal, če bi bila 'podpisnik' tega. Lp

During this period the public authorities should be able to receive both ODF and OOXML, and new purchases should be able to handle at least one. The trial period will be evaluated in the first six months of 2009 by a third party, with a view towards a new evaluation by the parliament.
