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.

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

good timing

Don't be too hasty to rejoice, here in Europe things don't seem so rosy anymore see this for exemple
