Fighting Fund for the Big WOBber
,----[ Quote ]
| I got a note from him yesterday telling me a new problem has come up. Despite
| the fact that the local authorities - like all in Europe - have a legal duty
| to provide the information, they have started sending Brenno big bills for
| the administrative work involved, in a kind of denial-of-service attack on
| his campaign.

Plans for a documentary about Free Knowledge
,----[ Quote ]
| The other day I met with two filmmakers in Spain. They are planning to make a
| documentary about Free Knowledge in general. They would like to show to the
| general public the aspects and culture within the various communities,
| ranging from Free Software projects to the editors of Wikipedia, from people
| protecting public knowledge and culture to people fighting for keeping the
| internet open. And place these movements in perspective to the intents of
| corporate interests in the privatisation of knowledge and enclosure of our
| culture.

How Open a Platform does "Open Government" Need?
,----[ Quote ]
| These documents, which were posted for public comment through September 22 of
| last year, represent but the latest deliverables of a carefully considered
| and practical process. The definition and requirements for open standards
| that the IDABC has developed are both sound in substance and founded on real
| and well articulated justifications.
|
| I believe that the EU is following a path that is leading towards the type of
| interoperability within governments, and between governments and citizens,
| that should serve as a model for governments everywhere. Hopefully
| governments around the world will so conclude as well. If they do decide to
| follow along on the carefully considered roadmap that the IDABC and the
| Member States of the EU have laid out, vendors as well as citizens will
| benefit, as achieving a global consensus on what constitutes an open standard
| for government procurement must inevitably serve to rationalize and expand
| the market for compliant products..
