> OpenDocument by July 20
>
> Massachusetts is considering making Microsoft's attempted answer to
> OpenDocument, Microsoft Office Open XML, an acceptable format for its
> documents. Such a decision would force Massachusetts citizens and
> government
> officials to be dependent on Microsoft, because MS-OOXML cannot be
> freely
> implemented by anyone else.
>
> Massachusetts is accepting comments on this decision until Friday,
> July 20th.
> Please join us in letting them know that as a government, we expect
> them to use
> a format for their documents that is independent of any proprietary
> vendor and
> fully implementable in free software. OpenDocument meets that
> requirement;
> MS-OOXML does not.
>
> Read the details at http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/ooxml-is-not-
> open, and
> then send your comments to standards at state.ma.us.
