The rest of this page, instead, explains how even a job offer from one of the greatest enemies of Document Freedom, Microsoft, proves the same point: http://stop.zona-m.net/node/138 Marco -- Cash for software clunkers?

Remember 2005? We set up the Fellowship then! It certainly doesn't seem that long ago to me. We should have a celebration, along with other ODF enthusiasts. Does anyone know if anyone (or any group) is organising something? At minimum, we should put something on the front page of the Fellowship's website. If someone would write something suitable, I'm happy to post it there if for some reason you can't.

Rob's post has a good leading question about what has gone well. ODF has come far and there are now many packages and at least one toolkit supporting it. On the non-technical side of things, there is now reaching towards unanimous support in EU governments and a good showing here and there in the rest of the world. We should also bring up some of the questions or expectations from 5 years ago. The one that seemed to spark a lot of action was the discussion showing what happened with the start of the Web. It took off like wildfire when any desktop or workstation could render a web page. /Lars
