ODF as National Standard
,----[ Quote ]
| Last year, i wrote about When Will Indonesia Use ODF? Up to now, we still
| don't have any standard for document format. Do you think .doc or .docx is a
| standard? Well, think again, as it's not an official standard in Indonesia as
| it hasn't been approved by the National Standarization Agency of Indonesia.
| As a de factor standard yes, not not by de jure.

Google Wave Crashes Over Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Gary Edwards, a Web developer and former president of the OpenDocument
| Foundation, told me Wave means “the greater web of designers can be designing
| a new type of document — one that’s multidimensional, highly graphical,
| highly interactive, and not OS-specific or device specific.”
|
| The implication, Edwards told me, is that Wave is the thin edge of the wedge
| — or the thin edge of the Web — that could crack Microsoft’s dominance on the
| desktop. “Once they lose the document model, they might have lost it all,” he
| said.

[Indonesia:] Govt pledges to pursue open-source software
,----[ Quote ]
| In spite of a deal with the U.S.-based software giant Microsoft,
| the government pledged Wednesday that it would continue promoting
| the use of open-source software.
|
| [...]
|
| Kusmayanto said -- without mentioning Microsoft by name -- that
| dependence on one operating system would curtail the country's
| freedom to choose software most consistent with its own needs.
|
|
| [...]
|
| The deal has, however, come under fire, including from the House
| of Representatives, with critics arguing that it will create a
| monopoly for Microsoft, and undermine the government's own IGOS
| program, which encourages the use of free open-source software
| for the public sector.

Open source, closed mind

| It recently launched the Indonesia Goes Open-Source Nusantara 2006
| package, which provides desktop software based on Linux Fedora Core 5
| and with the ability to operate applications such as Open Office for
| text documents, Firefox for Internet browsing, Thunderbird for email
| and Gaim for chatting.
|
| The ministry's website also lists a range of open-source software
| material, domestic and foreign, from which material can be downloaded
| for free.
|
| Furthermore, the use of open-source software cuts down on piracy,
| which is as prevalent in this country as the use of computers.
