Just read that Germany's new IT-Council
announced today that they will introduce ODF in the federal public
administration. All federal public administrations should be able to receive,
sent, read, and modify ODF documents until beginning of 2010. It is already
published on heise
and golem (both in
German).
FWIW, I think the reason was not the German Bundestag decision from 5. Juli
2007 to support Open Standards -- no -- he has seen the pictures with the tart Vice-President Steinmeier got from us at DFD
in Berlin ;-)
