[Irtalk] Document Freedom Day 30 March 2011

Document Freedom Day 30 March 2011
http://documentfreedom.org/2011/

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<http://documentfreedom.org/2011/odf.en.html> and Open Standards<http://documentfreedom.org/2011/os.en.html> in general.

Complementary to Software Freedom Day, we aim to have local teams all over the world organise events on the last Wednesday of March. This is the forth year that Document Freedom Day is happening, and we are again looking for people around the world who are willing to join the effort.

DFD's main goals are:

 *   promotion and adoption of free document formats
 *   forming a global network
 *   coordination of activities that happen on last Wednesday of March, Document Freedom Day
Kind regards
Ina
