I tend to focus on the issues rather than the opportunities.
Thank you.
Writing articles about OpenDocument and the OpenOffice.org features
is great idea! Don't get me wrong!
:-)
Just ignore my negative comments! How would we get the information
about what happens on the EU/EC level?
I can't suggest a general program, but I can speak of my experience. I
wrote a fairly complete article on the EU/EC and OpenDocument. I got the
information from Gary Edwards who is in the OASIS committee, which in
turn is was approached directly by EC reps.
On another level, the EC makes public announcements that just don't get
a lot of press. For example:
http://europa.eu.int/idabc/en/document/3439
That was also a major source of information for my article. Likewise,
you can find reports on the OASIS web page, XML cover pages, etc.
http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2004-06-17-a.html
Gary will surely have more information on this topic.
Likewise, when Gary and I talked to Eric Kriss, we got first-hand
information on what he was thinking. We got to learn about what the
state of Massachussets simply by talking to the guy in charge.
Some times you have to get a little creative. Some times you just have
to be daring (I didn't know Eric would want to talk to me).
Cheers,
Daniel.
