CO test with TestInternet
by Shane Martin Coughlan 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Dear all I invented a product called TestInternet. It was created under the new account 'shanemcoughlan' for the company Opendawn. When I logged into my account for the first time I saw this page: http://www.certifiedopen.com/co_logged_in This could do with a little cleaning and reduction of size. I think that the text should also link to the documents etc that it refers to. When I completed adding my new product I submitted it and I was taken back to this page: http://www.certifiedopen.com/co_logged_in I had to navigate to this page to see my score: http://www.certifiedopen.com/co_list_my_products I think this is a bug. People should be taken directly to their listing of products: http://www.certifiedopen.com/co_list_my_products Also, the listing of the products should contain details of the score as well as the certification level. I was a little surprised that my product got a gold. It was a 100% all the way through until the business section, but I only gave it one level of top-tier support etc. I'd like to have seen the detailed scores. Another note. I clicked around the site a little and then decided to go back into the database. I went into Product Database: http://www.certifiedopen.com/product-database Then I went to Existing Account Holders: http://www.certifiedopen.com/co_login Because I was already logged in the screen didn't contain a form. However, it was pretty blank. I would have expected to be directed to: http://www.certifiedopen.com/co_logged_in Regards Shane -- Shane Coughlan FTF Coordinator Free Software Foundation Europe Office: +41435000366 ext 408 / Mobile: +41792633406 coughlan(a)fsfeurope.org Support Free Software > http://fsfe.org

Focus will be how the current global standardization system does, or does not, support digital inclusion needs and requirements of developing economies, how governments view the issue of "openness" in ICT standards as they develop and deploy government e-services to their citizens, and what tools are available to developing economies to engage in international collaboration to improve or leverage ICT standardization to their benefit.

This year's workshop will continue the discussion and focus on tangible policy efforts, such as recent developments in WIPO, continuing discussions in the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade committee, policy efforts by various countries in Europe and Brazil, etc. Our highlighted presenters are: * Richard Owens, Director of the Copyright E-Commerce Division, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) * Laura de Nardis, Visiting Fellow, Information Society Project, Yale Law School * Georg Greve, Free Software Foundation Europe * Robin Gross, Executive Director, IP Justice * Rishab Ghosh, Professor and Senior Researcher at the UNU-MERIT * Carlos Afonso, Director of Planning, Information Network for the Third Sector (RITS) and Academic Coordinator, ITS Centre for Research, Study and Education (NUPEF) * Thomas Vinje, Partner, Clifford Chance * Cynthia D.

31 Oct '07

Adriaan de Groot (vice-president) is willing to represent KDE e.V. on the Certified Open governing council. I need to confirm where and how this new member will be added to the council. As Georg said in his email of 30/10/07 12:49, how do we proceed?

Alan Cox accepted to be part of governance council
by Georg C. F. Greve 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi all, for your information, Alan Cox has agreed to be part of CO's governing council as long as we keep it politically neutral (see discussion below). His favorite address to use for CO is alan(a)lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk as he wishes to keep Red Hat out of this. So how do we proceed? Do we simply subscribe people who agreed to the list? Do you want me to do that for Alan? Best regards, Georg -- Georg C. F.

www.certifiedopen.com status
by Shane Martin Coughlan 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

It would appear that www.certifiedopen.com is getting quite close to a release state. I think it would be quite a good time for members of the board to visit the site and to attempt to create products in the Product Database to test usability.

Flier

Attached is 'final' copy in both odf and pdf. I've gone with the title of Freedom from Lock-In, not because I think its great but because I need to finalise now and print both for Berlin and Stephen needs for LPI on Tuesday. For some reason when I convert to pdf it loses it a little - margins etc, so actually it prints better in odf. Rod don't know if you can have a look at this but whatever it should go up on site as pdf under downloads. Do we want to recreate this on the site itself as a summary? Rgds G
