Italian entrepreneur fights proprietary file formats in Public Administrations
,----[ Quote ]
| Open file formats are essential, the
| Italian State has been promoting them for
| years and doesn't consider open the
| formats of Microsoft Office, all the
| political parties who will participate to
| the March 2010 regional elections approved
| in 2008 a law that "considering the
| positive effects on free and transparent
| markets... promotes and stimulates the
| adoption of open digital formats" (art.
| 1). In spite of all this, fourteen months
| after the arrival of that law, in a moment
| when half the small businesses of North
| Eastern Italy ask for public action to
| fight the economical crisis, an
| institution like the Chamber of Commerce,
| that represents the meeting point between
| the State and businesses", doesn't just
| seems like it never heard of that law. The
| answers that Ezio got look like they
| didn't even bother to read and understand
| all he actually wrote: "compatible format"
| does not mean at all "open format", and
| "compatible" isn't enough at all! We'll
| post here at Stop!/Zona-M any news about
| this case. In the meantime,
| congratulations to Ezio for demanding open
| formats, as every citizen is entitled to
| do: please follow his example, is the only
| way to start solving this problem.

Diving into WebKit
,----[ Quote ]
| First of all, I want to thank Haiku, Inc.
| for giving me the opportunity to
| concentrate fully for a while on the
| WebKit port and browser! This is an
| awesome chance that I intend to make full
| use of.
|
| At the moment, I have mixed feelings. Not
| about writing blogs. Not about working on
| WebKit. But about using the new WebKit
| browser to write the blog entry, haha!
| I've seen it crash, although in the last
| days, it has become pretty stable. After
| we upgraded to a newer WebKit version as
| the basis for the port, the frequent
| random crashes have almost disappeared and
| I saw only one crash in three days.
| Compared to one every few minutes before.
