Celebrate Document Freedom Day! From the DFD website:
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 Free Document Formats and Open Standards in general.
DFD’s main goals are:
- promotion and adoption of free document formats
- forming a global network
- coordination of activities that happen on 26th of March, Document Freedom Day
I support open data formats. There are tradeoffs we accept when we use closed formats (convenience vs. access). Make sure you understand those tradeoffs — especially if you’re looking at long term data storage. Open formats give you the freedom to ensure that your data remains free and accessable.
