Proprietary File Formats conflict with Equal Opportunities
,----[ Quote ]
| It is possible to get people to listen if you
| want to instil Free Software principles, but
| they have to have a "handle" against which
| they are forced to act, within the
| organisation that they work. Or, if they agree
| with you in principle, but are otherwise hog-
| tied, they need that "handle" with which to
| justify their actions to their superiors.
|
| Using the words "Discrimination" and "Equal
| Opportunities" in the same sentence seems to
| do the trick.

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.
