31 March 2010 is Document Freedom Day. As the site states, "Document Freedom Day (DFD) is a global day for document liberation. It will be a day of grassroots effort to educate the public about the importance of Open Document Formats and Open Standards in general." OpenOffice.org has proudly joined many others in celebrating and promoting this day, and this year is no exception.
Honor the day, spread the word, use OpenDocument Format (ODF). Already tens of millions around the world are, on a variety of implementations, and more every day are using it. It's an open standard: it can be implemented by proprietary or free applications like OpenOffice.org, and just about any suitable application can implement it. And if the one you use does not, and does not even support it, then find out why. For the vendor & maker is limiting your freedom and locking you into that vendor's product.
