Happy Document Freedom Day!!

[lordshipmayhem]

I almost forgot - and the day is almost over. Today is Document Freedom Day, a day to raise awareness of the importance of Open Formats in saving documents. From the website:

In a world where records are increasingly kept in electronic form, Open Standards are crucial for valuable information to outlive the application in which it was initially generated. The question of Document Freedom has severe repercussions for freedom of choice, competition, markets and the sovereignty of countries and their governments.

Remember, when you use proprietary formats, the software company who made your word processor or spreadsheet owns your data.
