A Tart For Germany's Vice-Chancellor

Giovedì, 27 Marzo 2008

about: Berlin , DFD , Document Freedom Day , Fellowship , Open Standards

Yesterday I celebrated the Document Freedom Day together with the other Berlin Fellows , people from FFII and Skolelinux. We had a lot of fun bringing a letter and a tart for Germany's Vice-Chancellor and Foreign Minister Steinmeier in the Foreign Office. We wanted to feature the Foreign Office's work for Open Standards.

Here are some links:

Linux Magazin: Document Freedom Day: Ehrung für Auswärtiges Amt.
Webseite des Auswärtigen Amts: AA für Engagement für Offene Dokumentenstandards ausgezeichnet (you can find our picture on the AA's frontpage). And our Letter to the minister (PDF).

What else is to say?? Hm, I heard the tart tasted very good ;) And I hope a lot of other public administration get jealous of it, so they start thinking and working on better Open Standard policies, to get a tart next year ;)

I am looking forward to DFD 2009!

about: cups , fun , hoodies , MS-OOXML , t-shirt

I just heard that a Fellow made cool MS-OOXML shirts, hoodies, and cups. Finally you can show your opinion on MS-OOXML to your friends and colleagues the whole day while you are wearing one of the shirts ;)
Now let's wait for "MS-OOXML the movie" ;)
