OpenOffice.org 3.0 Promises New Life for Office Software

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenOffice.org is in an unenviable place. Office suites -- word processors, 
| spreadsheets, presentations and the ilk -- are utilitarian, complex bundles 
| of software. They are a necessity of modern life, used daily by individuals 
| and businesses all over the world.

Melaka City Council's OSS migration and savings

,----[ Quote ]
| In our ongoing series of Free and Open Source Software deployments in
| Malaysia, OpenMalaysiaBlog is proud to highlight the efforts of the City
| Council of Melaka. They were one of the first few departments to migrate
| completely to OpenOffice.org (98% of their 300 hundred seats. They need to
| retain a few copies of MS Office for some difficult proprietary files). Back
| in 8 December 2006, the Mayor of Melaka, Y.Bhg. Dato’ Haji Zaini bin Mohd
| Nor, presented "Successful Deployment Of OpenOffice In The Public Sector
| Seminar" and was very enthusiastic about OpenOffice.org.

The Pikom Meeting About Microsoft's OOXML ... No! (bangs the table) Ecma 376!

,----[ Quote ]
| Doug noted that the guys on the opposite side of the table from Microsoft
| (and (BANGS hand on table!) Ecma!) did not discuss any of the 23 comments
| made by Malaysia for the BRM ... and he's right, we didn't. Again, speaking
| for myself, prior to the meeting, I was sceptical that the "pro-OOXML" gang
| would actually just concentrate on that. This was mainly because I didn't
| know who would be attending on their side. I certainly did not expect that
| Microsoft would bring Doug Mahugh, Oliver Bell, Dave Welsh and (BANGS hand on
| table!) Jan van de Veld, former Sec-Gen of Ecma International. I fully
| expected Microsoft to apply the Chewbacca Defense strategy, and therefore
| figured that I must concentrate on my own Wookie-based defense.

Reports: Malaysia unmoved in OOXML vote

,----[ Quote ]
| Minister ignored objections
| According to Open Malaysia, the Malaysian Industrial Standards Committee for
| IT (ISC-G) took a vote on Mar. 27 to decide the country's stance on the
| OOXML-ISO vote, with 13 disapprovals, five abstentions and only three
| approvals.
|
| By eventually taking the decision to abstain in the OOXML ISO ballot, Maximus
| Ongkili, who is two weeks into the job as Minister of Science, Technology and
| Innovation--following the country's Mar. 8 general elections--appeared to
| have ignored the ISC-G's majority "disapprove" vote.

OpenOffice.org and ODF adoption in Malaysia - thumbs up!

,----[ Quote ]
| Now, you can hold them to their word, as they update a Wiki page, informing
| you about how many agencies are moving to OpenOffice.org. Big wins, once all
| of the Malaysian government related agencies are on OpenOffice.org (open
| source software in general). Again, read OpenOffice.org and ODF Adoption!
