March 31st is Document Freedom Day (DFD), a day for document liberation marked around the world. It will be a day for us all to educate our friends and neighbours of the importance of open document formats. OpenOffice.org uses the OpenDocument Format (ODF), and that means at least one hundred million people around the world use it at home, at work, at school: everywhere. What is more, an impartial open standard like the ODF can be implemented by any application, free or not. It eliminates vendor lock-in and gives users real choice today and tomorrow. OpenOffice.org is proud of being a part of DFD, and joins many other groups, vendors, and projects in the global effort to educate the world of the freedoms given by open documents and standards. Document Freedom Day unites us all. Open standards, and especially the ODF opens the world to all. Details on the Document Freedom Day can be found in our wiki at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dfd and on the official campaign website at http://documentfreedom.org Join us, join the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: announce-unsubscribe@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: announce-help@openoffice.org

good timing
One day after SCO's beat-down, we also get to celebrate freedom of document formats. Life is good.
