The CBC reports that the City of Vancouver has passed a resolution endorsing the principles of making its data open and accessible to everyone where possible, adopting open standards for that data and considering open source software when replacing existing applications.

  1. The nice thing about standards…
    is that there are so many to choose from. Don’t take this comment as I am disagreeing with the resolution; in fact I support it. However, there are at least two competing “open” office data standards, ODF (OpenDocument format, ISO/IEC 26300:2006) and OOXML (Office Open XML, ECMA-376, ISO/IEC 29500:2008, Microsoft owned).

    Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definately be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment.
