OSI supports ODF and Document Freedom Day

March 26 is Document Freedom Day (DFD). On March 26th, events and activities across the world will be held to promote adoption of free document formats such as the Open Document Format (ODF).

For any individual or organization, anywhere in the world, the right to share data without “lock-in” from vendors is as fundamental as the right to knowledge. Open standards and free document formats are integral to protecting this right for everyone.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) supports ODF, the only ISO certified open standard for formatted editing and printing of documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The OSI joins many organizations – educational, businesses and governments – this March 26th to help make DFD as successful as possible.
