Are you aware about ODF (and more in general Open Standards) government
initiatives around the world?

Do you know that the OpenOffice.org market share is growing and
growing up close to the 20% during last couple of years?

Did you ask to yourself why they are pushing OpenXML and why they are
lobbying it inside any national standards bodies?

I think this task is *very very* important because we are demostrating
we can break the monopoly in *favor of free software*!!!!
