OpenOffice at the crossroads 

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenOffice.org is a flagship for free and 
| open source software, released under free 
| software licenses and achieving downloads 
| in the hundreds of millions. OO.o is a 
| success by most measurements, but there 
| have long been murmurings of discontent 
| among developers resulting in complaints of 
| "non-responsiveness and lack of leadership" 
| on the project. The argument is not that 
| the project is a failure, but that 
| OpenOffice.org could be so much more, given 
| a less top down approach to project 
| management and a looser rein on developers' 
| ability to get involved.

Digital Agenda in the EU means open standards after all

,----[ Quote ]
| The EU Digital Agenda (I gave it an 85/100 
| score), while laudable, stops short of 
| using the term. The speech is a nice 
| interpretation of her own document. I am 
| told all other relevant Commissioners saw 
| and accepted the speech in a brief 
| interservice consultation. What that means 
| is another thing. Are they blind? Have they 
| changed their mind? Or, do they simply let 
| her have her own opinions, but were not 
| prepared to go as far as this in the 
| Digital Agenda? Whatever lies behind what 
| happened and what was said today, it is 
| progress.
| 
| The next step for the European Commission 
| is defining the term open standards. If 
| they do that, and do it right, Vice 
| President Kroes will go into history as 
| having made a significant contribution 
| towards global progress in e-government by 
| possibly eradicating lock-in forever. 
| Moreover, she will put Europe's SMEs in a 
| better position to succeed in a global IT 
| market filled with barriers to entry from 
| players not fully understanding, using, or 
| unpacking standards.
