Government Of Norway:Open Standards In Public Sectorâs Websites With Effect From 1 January 2010

,----[ Quote ]
| Taking effect from 1 January 2010 the 
| content of public sector's websites will be 
| available in open formats. This new 
| regulation will contribute to enhancing 
| equal accessibility of users and suppliers 
| to the information available on the 
| websites of both central and local 
| government.
| 
| In the light of this initiative, the 
| Minister of Government Administration and 
| Reform, Ms. Rigmor Aasrud, assured that, 
| with this new regulation, users or 
| suppliers seeking for information in the 
| public sector's websites will not be 
| obliged to use a specific software anymore. 
| This will help users to have equal access 
| to public information, while establishing 
| fairer competition conditions among 
| software suppliers.

Denmark dumps Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| As of April next year, Danish state office 
| communication will be in the ODF format 
| rather than Microsoftâs office format 
| following a Parliamentary decision.
| 
| After four years of discussion, 
| Parliamentary parties have decided to use 
| the Open Document Format in all exchanges 
| of documents between official institutions.

| The Danish Parliament has decided to create 
| a list of allowed standards. The standards 
| MUST be implemented before end 2011.
| 
| The decision includes two important things:
| 
|    1. ODF is on the list - OOXML is NOT!
