Hungary Backs Open Standards But Lags On Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| In September, open source groups reacted
| angrily to the news that a Swiss government
| contract was given to Microsoft without any
| public bidding. Vendors including Red Hat and
| other open source players called on a Swiss
| federal court to overturn a three-year
| contract issued to Microsoft by the Swiss
| Federal Bureau for Building and Logistics, to
| provide Windows desktops and applications,
| with support and maintenance, for 14 million
| Swiss Francs (Â8m) each year.

ODF support in eZ Components
,----[ Quote ]
| With the new stable version 2009.2 of the eZ
| Components, the Document component get
| support for the OpenDocument format. You can
| convert OpenDocumentText (ODT) to the
| internally used Docbook XML and from there to
| any of the other formats supported by the
| component (like RST, Wiki markup or ezxml).
| The other way around works in addition, read
| any format supported by Document and convert
| it to ODT. You can nicely style the generated
| document using a CSS sub-set and even
| generate a PDF with the very same style
| settings.

Google Races to Speed up the Web
,----[ Quote ]
| At first pass, it's hard to argue with this
| reasoning, particularly when many of the
| Google efforts are free and available as open-
| source software, which anyone can adopt,
| modify and use.
|
| Plus, Web latency remains a chronic, thorny
| problem with many improvement opportunities,
| and Google has the financial and talent
| resources needed to lead the way and tackle
| the bottlenecks.

Mandatory Use of Open Standards In Hungary
,----[ Quote ]
| "Hungarian Parliament has made the use of
| open standards mandatory by law in the
| intercommunication between public
| administration offices, public utility
| companies, citizens and voluntarily joining
| private companies, conducted via the central
| governmental system. The Open Standards
| Alliance initiating the amendment aims to
| promote the spread of monopoly-free markets
| that foster the development of
| interchangeable and interoperable products
| generated by open standards, and,
| consequently, broad competition markets,
| regardless of whether the IT systems of
| interconnecting organizations and
| individuals use open or closed source
| software. In the near future, in spite of EU
| tendencies the Alliance seeks to make its
| approach â interoperability based on
| publicly defined open standards â the EU
| norm under the Hungarian presidency of the
| European Union in 2011. To that end, it will
| promote public collaboration â possibly
| between every interested party, civil and
| political organization in the European
| Union. What do you think: what would be the
| best way to cooperate?"
