- ♺ @equitas: Denmark gov chooses ODF over OOXML. http://is.gd/7htVS (danish) http://is.gd/7htYI (eng trans).<- Are you watching #ukgov #
- @andyc @fabsh I still have all of my 8 Fedoras
# - The one good thing about the #iPay AKA #iPad: No Flash support. More chances for open standards on the web. #
- Wow. Just a few minutes after publishing, my blog entry on denmark and odf is #1 in google search http://is.gd/7hY6M #
- OK. So it seems today was debate in DK, decision on tuesday. #
- Who speaks danish and give me a translation of http://is.gd/7ia6n #odf #denmark #
- Please all congrat #denmark for going #odf. It is a brave decision and deserves our support! #
- Spread the word and sign this support pledge for Denmark going ODF! http://is.gd/7ibFH #
- We need 50 people to sign my pledge at http://is.gd/7ibFH. Denmark going ODF needs your support! Retweet, sign, help! NOW! #

Please all, spread the word and sign my pledge!
Let us show Denmark how much we support their brave decision to use ODF as the onyl document format.
Sign here:
http://www.pledgebank.com/DenmarkODF
Spread the word!
Breaking news. If your danish is good enough, read here, here, here, here.
The Konlusionspapiret has all the details.
So from April 2011 all intergovernmental documents will be in ODF. If this will also mean a change to OpenOffice remains to be seen however.
OOXML however is out. It is considered to not be good enough to be treated as an open standard. And trust me, Microsoft really tried to convince the danish politicians. But as it seems their arguments in support of OOXML (and also their numerous attempts to discredit ODF) have failed.
Will other countries learn? Tell them. Ask them. This is a good day for open standards.
- @sandersch I am also not a fanboy of the iPay #
- Is Apple losing its magic? The iPay is disappointing AFAICS. Not enough bling and woohoo. #
- @karsten that URL didn’t work. #
- Touring Berlin on my way to the local RHT office. #
- @glynmoody canonical did ask beforehand and Mozilla agreed. #
- @fabsh indirectly. #
- No multitasking on the #iPad? OMG. #apple #fail #
- The #iPay cannot do multitasking. Serious. #apple #ipad #fail. #
- testing. #

- #iPay story reminds of the discussions around Nokias launch of the maemo based N770, N800 etc. #
- @glynmoody how many people actually do listen to Dana? #
- Identi.ca back again. Feels so good. #
- @charlesschulz search youtube for the iRack. #
- Back to the USSR. Chap next to me in the train perfectly fits that description. Waiting for wodka. #
- Decided a refreshing coke fits beter so I am now in bistro of ICE to MUC. #
- Not being able to share. That’s what iPod, iPad et al keep on telling you. I cannot give what I have and like. #
- @einfeldt try limux AT muenchen DOT de #
- Governments claiming democracy should secure net neutrality, use open standards and sponsor Free Software. #
- Governments NOT using open standards are limiting the freedom of their citizens. #
- Back in MUC. #needsleep. #
- @lxoliva I don’t get the point why a single change to yahoo justifies Canonical to make $ from FF community. #
- @gbraad Red Hat is honest to their upstream provider Fedora. #
- @lxoliva it is disrespect for upstream FF – even if I don’t like their deal with Google. #
- @lxoliva Canonical using FF abuse to generate $ for their devs just feels wrong. #
- @lxoliva they have so cool stuff like DRM music via ubuntoOne – why do they need to abuse FF? I don’t get it. #
- @floschi please do ask Mitchell on the canonical deal. @jonobacon tells me its all OK and agreed. #
- @floschi I am not so sure, though. #
- @floschi will be in the night train to Berlin
# - @harishpillay Container datacenters? Again? SUN tried, Google and now MSFT? #
- @fabsh “am Ast saegen auf dem man sitzt” wrt Yahoo/Canonical #
- @fabsh will try to ask Mitchell Baker for clarification fromMozilla side. #
- @jamie_love @karsten Please read: http://i5.be/aoK page 4 – EPC to be change sto allow swpat. Very strange. (via @ruiseabra) #
- @carlopiana Please read: http://i5.be/aoK page 4 – EPC to be change sto allow swpat. Very strange. (via @ruiseabra) #
- @ruiseabra @karsten @jamie_love @carlopiana ignore. It is a document from 2003. #
- @ruiseabra whats the context of that PDF? It is an article from 2000, pdf is created 2003. Why is it important now? #
- @ruiseabra the 2000 thing on changing the EPC has died a long time ago. #
- @zoobab correct. EPLA however is not about changing the EPC, correct? #
- Nice. I said http://is.gd/79INM 4 days ago and now @rcweir shows us http://is.gd/79ISU. #olpc for Haiti – makes SO much sense. #
- @schestowitz is Canonical pulling a Novell in your opinion? #
- On the night train from Munich to Berlin. I love it. So old school. Beats flying. #
- @fabsh we really need the iRack next. Should be made by IKEA. We need to rename them iKEA first, ofcourse. #
- The crowds that have never asked why anyway will ofcourse buy the #iPad. Heck, they would even buy an iCondom. #
- The #iPad can iron your shirts supposedly. Wireless! Its called flatrate! Rejoice! #
- @fabsh will I get a refund for MacOS? #
- @sdp yes, the lackrack and its enterprise version. Alos look for the helmer cluster #
- The #iPad is the most expensive make-up mirror ever built. Someone please write a compliment App “you look so good” #
- @alphakamp two ipads complimenting eachother! Killer App! #
- Rumour has it that german company will soon introduce the iSausage – the iWurst. It will feature iCheese. #
- @glynmoody the correct name is either iPay or iConsume #
- The real name of the #iPad: iPay, iPayTooMuch, iSuck #
- @evan in germany quite some already. #
- @evan recently I read a market overview on that topic in a german unix magazine. #
- @x1101 for me FS is enough. Want some freedom fries, BTW? #
- @x1101 I think its too complicated to put in an acronym anyway. #
- @x1101 would you say YMCA captures the multiple sides of christianity? #
- @x1101 we all waste too much energy on such stuff instead of promoting what we feel to the rest of the world. #
- @x1101 it scares newbies. They want to help and we bombard them with this. Reminds me of life of brian sometimes. #
- It is the iPay. 800 dollars for a toy that only plays when you throw in the virtual dimes? No thanks. #
- @evan I would love to share some thoughts and beers. #
- Why is #Ubuntu not in the #FOSDEM Distributions room? http://is.gd/73IXy #
- So MSFT effectively waited 4 months before fixing a known issue? http://is.gd/73Lru #

- Will ponytail resign soonish? http://is.gd/74pUJ #
- Wow. El Reg is positive about opensource.com. http://is.gd/754ej #
- @glynmoody “disposable income” sounds like banker commissions #
- Snow. Traffic jam. Stressed. Not a good combo. #
- Arrived in STG. Now looking for the Basta. #
- Oh #canonical. Revenue sharing with MSFT via Yahoo? Pulling a Novell? http://bit.ly/caKvrt #
- Can canonical still use Firefox as a name when they change the default search engine? We should ask Mozilla. € #
- @jonobacon how desperate is canonical to make money? Pulling a Novell? Why is Ubuntu not in a FOSDEM dev room? #
- @jonobacon rule #1 don’t mess with upstream. Switchinf search to MSFT/Yahoo is messing around. #
- @jonobacon so why is Ubunto not participating at #FOSDEM? Will you be at Fosdem? #
- @jonobacon hope we can meet at FOSDEM, I will pay the beer #
- @jonobacon whenever you are near Munich, let’s meet. I love Ubuntu most of the time, don’t get me wrong. #
- @jonobacon FOSDEM should be a MUST in your schedule though. #
- @jonobacon we have lots in common but differ on other parts. Which is fine. I lke good discussions. #
- @evan BTW care for a beer at FOSDEM? Lots of stuff to share and discuss wrt identi.ca #
- @jonobacon care to share your thoughts on opensource.com in a blog entry? #
- @jonobacon opensource.com is really open. If you or one of your peers wants to publish, no prob. #
- @evan irony++ #
- @robmyers I hope that Canonical is open enough to share how much they get. #
- @fabsh tell me where you wanna submit, done. #
- I like community. So I will be at #FOSDEM. #
- Dear #Mozilla, I would love to know why you fully agree to Canonical modifying FF. #
- @lxoliva I don’t know, but would love to learn. #
- Why do non-profits use closed source software? Open Source should be the natural choice. #
- If non-profits would create and use more open source and open knowledge, data, it would be good for all. #

- @bugabundo Mozilla is right. Remember GIF. Only Royalty Free codecs are open. #

- @lxoliva @opensourceway is also on identi.ca … #
- @lxoliva biting the hand that feeds you? #
- @lxoliva you did scroll down? Identi.ca before twitter. #
- @lxoliva yoe are member of the internal pilot group? I am. We discussed a lot. Strange you want to run a full attack per your comment. #
- @lxoliva in your comment you should have added that you work for rht. You didnt. Why? #
- @lxoliva because we spend months on preparation? And your crusade could have been solved before? #
- @lxoliva yep. And as it goes beyond software and looks at open in non-sw spaces I deem it important. #
- @lxoliva does fsf.org run on free hard and softeare? #
- @lxoliva and it is opensource.com, not freesoftware.com. which is a difference. #
Finally. A place to discuss, learn, promote everything open. With 5 channels:
We started thois community to allow people from all across the world, regardless of job and skills, to communicate and foster more Open. Let’s look (far) beyond software. Lets talk about the Open Everything that this world so desperately needs.
Talk to you at opensource.com!
