You can now petition the European Union to 'fix my document' (Opensource.com) Opensource.com covers
an effort, initiated by Open Forum Europe (OFE), to help the European Union (EU) institutions live up to their commitments to support open document formats when communicating with the public. " Inspired by the pothole identification and alert site and app, fixmystreet.com, OFE, through its fixmydocument.eu, is giving a crowd-sourced voice to public frustration with software interoperability limitations that stand in the way of citizens who are seeking to communicate and interact with government.
It should be noted, however, this is more than a vehicle through which to vent. Many parts of the EU are legitimately working hard to implement ODF, the open document format for office applications. Fixmydocument.eu will help them better identify software and documents that are presenting the most pressing and immediate problems. As an added benefit, it should not go unnoticed that more fully deploying ODF and other open standards will help the EU avoid vendor lock-in." | | 10:34p |
[$] FreeNAS — network-attached storage with ZFS Thus far, this series has looked at Linux distributions that are optimized for network-attached storage (NAS) deployments. This installment will take a slightly different turn: the system under review ( FreeNAS) is indeed a free distribution for NAS applications, but it is based on FreeBSD rather than Linux. In many ways it looks like the Linux-based systems reviewed previously, but there are some interesting differences. |
