> Že nekaj časa pa sledim blogu komisarke Neelie Kroes in se mi je zdel to

> Mogoče bi bil to primeren trenutek, da pošljemo nekaj podobnega tudi našim

> Dear Mrs. Kroes,
>
> I have been following your work and blog for quite some time now and am
> very
> happy that you are so courageously fighting vendor lock-in, protecting net
> neutrality, competition, open standards and improving IT in the EU, not
> least
> with your Digital Agenda and EIF[1].
>
> I would also like to praise you for your grasp of modern technology and the
> insight to ask for feedback from the younger generation — very few have
> such
> courage!
>
> Also it is great to see you and other Commissioners and now even MEPs are
> now
> with blogging, microblogging etc. closer to the citizens they represent as
> ever!
>
> With that being said, I would like to suggest that you not let yourself be
> locked in by proprietary centralised services of Web 2.0 and move forward
> and
> use FOSS[3] solutions. Here are some examples:
>
> * instead of the centralised Twitter, you could use the distributed
> Status.Net[4].
>
> * instead of the centralised FaceBook, you could use a distributed social
> network — some of the many notable projects are Elgg[5], GnuSocial[6],
> Diaspora[7].
>
> * for instant messaging you could use XMPP[8] (sometimes referred to as
> Jabber) and for voice the SIP standard.
>
> * instead of Adobe Flash for video and audio streaming, you should use the
> W3C
> standard HTML5 and embed media in an open format (e.g. Ogg/Speex and Celt
> are
> optimised for voice recordings, Ogg/Vorbis for other audio, Ogg/Theora and
> WebM are great video codecs) directly into your website. Most modern
> browsers
> already support this feature directly and the citizens do not need to
> install
> a (proprietary) plug-in.
>
> In short some reasons why those would be a wise choice:
>
> * it is FOSS and based on open stadards — you and all EU citizens can use,
> study, share and improve it; but I am sure you are already aware of those
> and
> other benefits FOSS brings.
>
> * because of its distributed design, the EC (or EU) can run their own
> Status.net server and people on other servers can follow and reach you
> flawlessly (similar like e-mail).
>
> * all of the above mentioned solutions are very extensible and the EU,
> perhaps
> by using its OSOR and EUPL, could not only follow its normal user, but
> innovate on top of them.
>
> * since these are either using or are themselves open standards, anyone can
> use them.
>
> * you retain the full control of your content and can chose any license you
> want. This also means such content can be conserved for future generations.
>
> For a better overview I recommend W3C's[9] recently published report on the
> state of the Social Web[10].
>
> Thank you for your time reading this and thank you for all the efforts.
