> Document Freedom Day celebrated around the world
>
> Today, activists in 37 cities around the world are raising awareness for Open
> Standards and open document formats. In workshops, talks and other events, they
> are explaining why Open Standards and Free Software are crucial to a free and
> competitive information society.
>
> "It's great to see the power of the community behind Document Freedom Day", says
> campaign coordinator Fernanda Weiden. "I am very proud of the effort that so
> many people are putting into showing the world that Open Standards and digital
> freedom are essential."
>
> The City of Munich, Germany, receives this year's European Document Freedom Day
> prize. "Munich shows in an exemplary manner what a large public body can achieve
> with Free Software and Open Standards. The LiMux project gives Munich a leading
> role in Europe. We hope that many others will come to share this progressive
> approach", says Karsten Gerloff, President of the Free Software Foundation Europe.
>
> Various events are taking place around the world. In Brazil, the Federal Data
> Processing Company - Serpro - is holding events in 10 cities. In the European
> Parliament, experts are discussing Open Standards as a means to guarantee access
> to cultural works in the long term. Groups in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil,
> Croatia, Greece, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Panama, Portugal, Spain
> and United Kingdom are participating in this year’s celebration.
>
> Open Standards are a common language, publicly documented, that computer
> programs can speak. They are central to interoperability and freedom of choice
> in technology. Open Standards allow Free Software developers to create programs
> that can interoperate with other solutions, so users can migrate away from
> proprietary solutions.
>
> There is still time to join this celebration! Check for a nearby event at
> http://documentfreedom.org/2011/events/events.en.html and participate!
>
> Document Freedom Day 2011 is facilitated by the Free Software Foundation Europe,
> and supported by campaign patrons Google and Oracle.
