<description><![CDATA[Una giornata veramente ricca quella proposta da “Libere Culture Digitali” e FSUG Italia in collabora]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Una giornata veramente ricca quella proposta da <strong>“Libere Culture Digitali” e FSUG Italia</strong> in collaborazione con una fitta rete di soggetti che vanno dall&#8217;ARCI alla Provincia di Milano, dalle associazioni di promozione del free software alle scuole della periferia sud di Milano, dalle band copyleft al progetto Databand.it e che si è conclusa con una <strong>chiacchierata con Samuel dei Subsonica</strong> che si è interessato all&#8217;evento.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-114" title="conferenze" src="http://liberamente08.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/conferenze.jpg" alt="conferenze" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p>La mattinata, aperta dal locale assessore all&#8217;innovazione tecnologica e che ha visto la partecipazione di alcune classi del <strong>Liceo Ponti e insegnanti delle scuole medie di Opera</strong>, è servita a mettere in contatto il mondo della scuola e delle pubbliche amministrazioni con il software libero e i formati aperti. E&#8217; risultata evidente la semplicità d&#8217;uso di una suite libera come Open Office, una valida alternativa al più diffuso, e caro, Microsoft Office.</p>
<p>E non sono mancati gli <strong>esempi concreti:</strong> la scuola elementare di Opera racconta la migrazione ad un sistema operativo libero (Edubuntu) che ha permesso di recuperare i vecchi computer di genitori e segreteria della scuola già pronti per la discarica (infatti linux è meno avido di risorse di windows) e installare tutto il software necessario a studenti e insegnanti senza spendere un euro e mettendo in piedi un&#8217;aula informatica di tutto rispetto.</p>
<p>La giornata prosegue con diversi interventi, mentre i ragazzi si informano se linux supporta l&#8217;Ipod (si, lo fa) l&#8217;assessore del Comune discute con i responsabili del Progetto Linguistico Italiano OpenOffice.org su quali siano gli strumenti tecnici e organizzativi per migrare alla suite libera per l&#8217;ufficio.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-115" title="pubblico" src="http://liberamente08.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/pubblico.jpg" alt="pubblico" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p>Nel pomeriggio l&#8217;atmosfera si fa più informale, la tavola rotonda organizzata dal progetto della provincia di Milano Databand dedicata alla musica copyleft che coinvolge esperti di comunicazione, musicisti, un avvocato e ARCI, è infatti proposta nel bar del centro polifunzionale di Opera, un internet cafè che offre linux sulle macchine che i suoi giovani frequentatori usano per navigare e chattare.<br />
“Distribuire musica liberamente nell&#8217;era di facebook e myspace” recita l&#8217;invito all&#8217;evento, in effetti i numerosi interventi provano prima a spiegare e raccontare il fenomeno della <strong>condivisione di contenuti on-line</strong> e di come sia necessario trovare delle forme, anche giuridiche, per tutelare l&#8217;autore ma lasciare il giusto grado di libertà all&#8217;utente che fruisce del contenuto. ARCI Milano ricorda che la produzione e distribuzione di musica copyleft renda più sostenibile l&#8217;evento live anche per soggetti promotori di eventi culturali anche se  bisogna fare i conti con una legislazione sul copyright complessa. Per fortuna esistono diverse pubblicazioni che danno gli strumenti necessari a sperimentarsi con le licenze creative commons, a proposito delle quali si trova anche molto materiale in rete.</p>
<p>L&#8217;esperienza diretta della Band emiliana Yue e della compilation hip hop prodotta in occasione di un evento promosso a Gratosoglio sono la dimostrazione che quella del copyleft non solo è una strada percorribile ma che offre delle interessanti alternative alla distribuzione tramite grandi etichette che mettono a rischio l&#8217;indipendenza delle scelte artistiche delle band.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-118" title="samuel" src="http://liberamente08.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/samuel.jpg?w=300" alt="samuel" width="300" height="164" /></p>
<p>“<strong>La libera divulgazione della cultura è sacrosanta, credo sia una ricchezza. </strong>Credo sia giusto poter agevolare l’incredibile potenza divulgativa della rete modernizzando le leggi che la regolano, le leggi attuali sul copyright sono ormai obsolete.” <strong>risponde Samuel, leader dei Subsonica durante una chiacchierata ai margini dell&#8217;evento</strong>, “Il copyright non credo c’entri molto con la libertà di un musicista, credo invece che la questione sia legata allo scopo che l’artista vede per se e per la propria opera. Generalmente chi ama la musica e le attribuisce un ruolo importante, cerca di renderla più libera possibile, appoggiandosi a persone e realtà che gliene diano la possibilità. Chi invece ricerca l’esaltazione dei proprio io tramite fama e successo, accetta compromessi che lo imbrigliano come artista ma che gli danno sicuramente un tornaconto di altro tipo. È comunque una scelta libera anche quella&#8230;”</p>

<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Document Freedom Day&#8221; is an event, promoted by the Free Software Foundation, whose aim ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.documentfreedom.org/">Document Freedom Day</a>&#8221; is an event, promoted by the Free Software Foundation, whose aim is to spread free documents formats and the Free Software culture. Last Wednesday I attended the Italian DFD 2009 in Opera (near to Milan, where in 2008 was organized &#8220;<a href="http://blog.foppiano.org/2008/04/22/liberamente-two-days-after/">Liberamente</a>&#8220;).</p>
<p>Me and <a href="www.techtemple.org">Gianluca Varisco</a> proposed a talk about the core values of the <a href="http://www.fedoraproject.org">Fedora</a> project, whose aim is to spread the meaning of the <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations">4 foundations</a> in general, and Fedora&#8217;s policies around codecs and firmwares in particular &#8211; thus covering a wider subject matter, not only documents.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3426/3395985635_bc960da5bd_d.jpg" alt="Fedora gadgets" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fedora gadgets</p></div>
<p>However, I couldn&#8217;t stay there all the time because it was a workday. I came during my lunch break and brought an OLPC (the byte-code one), some Fedora stickers and gadgets with me. <a href="http://stweee.wordpress.com/">Stefano Frontori</a>, my colleague at <a href="http://www.byte-code.com">byte-code</a>, accompanied me and he was the official photographer (you will find some photos attached to this post). He&#8217;s a very good photographer but he has only one defect: he&#8217;s a Canonist (yep, this is a neologism &#8220;A person who uses a Canon&#8221; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3396630178_6fce3ab759_d.jpg" alt="Fedora attenders" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fedora attenders</p></div>
<p>The initial plan was to do a two-people speech, but unfortunately Gianluca was unable to attend, due to last-minute-problems. I want to thank him: he took care all boring pre-event tasks: put together an abstract, contact the event owners and so on. There weren&#8217;t many people, but some interested students (better than 100 bored and inattentive people). I had only 30 minutes for my speech so I tried to do it in a more interactive way, people could interrupt me, ask questions and so on. At the end there was an important question about Fedora hardware support, about the community, and Fedora/Ubuntu comparison.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3472/3396615968_6fcb3a3e58_d.jpg" alt="Me and my talk" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Me and my talk</p></div>
<p>I want also to point out the spirit of the FSF, in this case FSF Italy. Where the hell were they? FSF choose the most ugly day to organize this event (it was a workday, how can you expect a wide audience?), and didn&#8217;t send any FSF person.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3608/3396662384_b81edfecbe_d.jpg" alt="Fedora ambassadors" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fedora ambassadors</p></div>
<p>Last but not least, many thanks to <a href="http://www.fsugitalia.org/wp/2009/02/document-freedom-day-09/">every voluntary people who organized this event</a>. Special thanks to Alexjian Carraturo who allowed Fedora presence to this event.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As indicated earlier we did our thing on March 26th because we cooperated with the <a href="http://k34.gaarden.net">K34 art gallery</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiel">Kiel</a>. We opened at 5.30 pm and prepared cookies and coffee. It was a very rainy day and that seemed not to have encouraged people to come.  There were some random guests who were interested in the topic. I was told that the quick info folder that I had printed out contained some errors. Thats whats happening if you try to do things in a few minutes before an event starts. I had been sick for some days and did not work on that before. Additionally to the document freedom infos I also had some flyers about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_data_retention">data retention</a> (&#8220;Vorratsdatenspeicherung&#8221;). At 8pm I started my talk in the rear building:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpfennig/3388888776/"><img class="alignleft" title="Before starting the presentation" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3538/3388888776_b2eb770554_d.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>About 8 people listened. In the talk I was trying to combine these the three topics: 1) Free Software, 2) Open Standards and 3) Free Content.</p>
<p>On Free Software  I talked about Bill Gates <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists">Open Letter to Hobbyists</a> (1976) and the reaction of Richard Stallman (1985) and the BSD (1989). All three topics have in common that they were created as a reaction to what the industry tried to establish as a new standard. In the Free Software part I showed the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/fry/happy-birthday-to-gnu.html">video </a>of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry">Stephen Fry</a> to the 25th anniversary of GNU.  I had edited the german subtitles with <a href="http://www.aegisub.net/">Aegisub</a> (which works mostly great) and saved them as .ASS file but strangely in the middle of the video some sentences disappeared. I had tried to fix this before, but was unable to find any error.</p>
<p>Next on where open standards where I focused more on MP3 licensing and patent freedom to get my points accross. I think ODF is a very complex issue and maybe thats the reason why I did not find one movie that was getting the topic accross in a nice way. Most talks about ODF are highly technical or theoretically. I wish we would have something like some short 2-3 minute scenes where it is shown why MS Office is bad and OO.org and ODF is good. Also many material about the topic focuses on OO.org too much. So I did feel more comfortable with the patent issues. I was not trying to sell ODF as a better format itself &#8211; my goal was to show why open standards are always better.</p>
<p>The next point was about &#8220;Free Content&#8221; &#8211; I explained how the copyright protection was extended since the 18th century, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Bono_Act">Sonny Bono Act</a> and how and why Lawrence Lessig started the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>. I showed as success the 140 Million free works, Wikipedia, the free <a href="http://www.nin.com/">Nine Inch Nails</a> album <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosts_I%E2%80%93IV">Ghost I-IV</a>, the development of a culture of sharing and also the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_(publishing)">Open Access</a> movement.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpfennig/3388888622/in/photostream/"><img class="alignleft" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3427/3388888622_751e2af0e1_d.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>At the end I showed <a href="http://www.elektrischer-reporter.de/elr/video/88/">this episode</a> of the Elektrischer Reporter for more insight on free content.</p>
<p>Was this event successful? Given how few people found the way to the talk I would say definitely not. But ont the other hand the topic was on the Agenda in Kiel today. I had to organize this whole thing alone and only had some helping hands on this day. I would do it again. We only  had less than half of the visitors of 2008 SFD. But as you look at SFD vs. DFD the DFD is a lot smaller in all respects. And Kiel is also not a large town (about 1/8 of the size of Hamburg). I could have focused on my talk more. We have waited quite some time for no real visitors &#8211; and then had them all on the talk.</p>
<p>I like to work on the material I have started so quickly a bit more, to make it better for future events. It is very important to talk about those topics. It does not matter terribly much if you get the whole points perfect. If people talk they start to think. And as well if they listen to you. The most things will happen inside them. If what you say is true, the arguments will travel with their own energy. I am confident that the DFD will gain mcuh more importance. But I think it is also important to extend its meaning. We need much more good material. I do not like the FAQs etc. and also I dont just want to promote OO.org.  People should understand why those things are important. If they just use OO.org they might not even think any different.</p>
<p>Thats it for this year.</p>

<p>El <a href="http://www.documentfreedom.org/">Día de la Libertad de los Documentos</a> es un evento que tiene por objetivo promover los <em>formatos libres</em> para documentos y los <em>estándares libres</em> en general. Se celebra cada año en distintas partes del mundo, el último día miércoles del mes de marzo.</p>
<p>Los <em>estándares libres</em> son esenciales para la interoperabilidad, es decir, para que diferentes programas de software puedan intercambiar datos. Los estándares libres evitan que los usuarios estén «amarrados» a ciertos formatos de documentos y a ciertas empresas de software. Esto hace que los estándares libres sean esenciales para los gobiernos, empresas, organizaciones y usuarios individuales.</p>
<p><strong>Ventajas de los estándares libres</strong></p>
<p>Las ventajas visibles de los estándares libres es que le permiten a Usted:</p>

<li>Escoger cualquier sistema operativo o aplicación y aun así poder leer y editar todos sus documentos</li>
<li>Colaborar con otros sin importar qué software estén utilizando</li>
<li>Utilizar el software que desee para interactuar con su gobierno</li>
</ul>
<p>Las ventajas menos visibles de los estándares libres son:</p>
<ul>
<li>Permiten una mayor competencia en el software, lo cual se traduce en menores costos y mejor servicio</li>
<li>Incrementan la competencia de hardware, lo que implica una mayor cantidad de soluciones eficientes</li>
<li>Permiten una reducción de los impuestos, pues conllevan a soluciones informáticas gubernamentales más efectivas, que evitan el costo del «amarre»
</ul>
<p><strong>Estándar Libre para Documentos</strong></p>
<p>El Día de la Libertad de los Documentos se enfoca en el <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opendocument">Open Document Format</a> (ODF) porque es el único Estándar Libre que abarca todos los usos comunes de un documento de oficina, tales como edición de texto con formato, planillas de cálculo y presentaciones. Está certificado por la ISO (International Standarization Organization) como estándar internacional.</p>
<p><strong>Aplicaciones</strong></p>
<p>Open Document Format (ODF) es soportado por muchas aplicaciones, algunas de ellas son Software Libre y otras no. Las siguientes aplicaciones soportan ODF y son <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.es.html">Software Libre</a>, por lo que pueden pueden ser descargadas y utilizadas sin limitaciones:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://es.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice.org</a> (Windows, GNU/Linux y MacOS)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.abisource.com/">AbiWord</a> (Windows, GNU/Linux y MacOS)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.koffice.org/">KOffice</a> (GNU/Linux)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.neooffice.org/">NeoOffice</a> (MacOS X)</li>
</ul>
<p>Podemos dar un paso hacia la libertad e independencia digital utilizando <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opendocument">OpenDocument</a> y otros estándares libres. Si a esto le agregamos el uso de <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.es.html">Software Libre</a>, estaremos manteniendo el control de nuestros datos y computadores, en vez de cederlo a empresas que solamente cuidan sus propios intereses y no los de los usuarios.</p>

<p>El próximo 25 de Marzo, se celebra el Document Freedom Day, un día global por la liberación de la documentación en el cual se registran distintos equipos que unirán esfuerzos para transmitir al público la importancia acerca de Formatos de Documentación Libres y los Estándares Abiertos.</p>
<p>Desde Indalitux hemos registrado un evento con el objetivo de participar en la medida de lo posible, aunque habrá que buscar la manera de compaginarlos con las SLCENT ya que nos coinciden las fechas&#8230;</p>

distribuire musica liberamente nell&#8217;era di facebook e myspace<br />
mercoledì 25 marzo dalle 16.30<br />
centro polifunzionale Opera (MI) &#8211; via gramsci 21</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">La possibilità  nell&#8217;era del web 2.0 di <strong>distribuire la propria opera ad un grande pubblico</strong> facilmente raggiungibile utilizzando internet è una risorsa enorme per le band emergenti ed offre l&#8217;opportunità  di emanciparsi da etichette carnivore e fenomeni di marketing spesso incomprensibili. D&#8217;altra parte si pone il problema della <strong>difesa dei diritti d&#8217;autore</strong> e il riconoscimento della paternità dell&#8217;opera.</p>
<p>Le licenze <strong>creative commons</strong> offrono in questo senso una valida alternativa al copyright e alla registrazione SIAE permettendo la <strong>libera circolazione dei saperi</strong> e lasciando molta più flessibilità  e potere di gestione dei processi creativi e distributivi direttamente alla band o al dj.</p>
<p><strong>Il 25 marzo</strong> (dalle 16.30 alle 24, presso il Centro Polifunzionale di Opera di Via Gramsci 21), <strong>in occasione del document freedom da</strong>y, il progetto della provincia di Milano di promozione della musica emergente <strong>Databand</strong> in collaborazione con <strong>ARCI e GNUFun</strong>k <strong>promuovono una tavola rotonda sulle licenze creative commons e una serie di concerti live di band copyleft. </strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Am Donnerstag den 26. März wird in der K34 der <a href="http://k34.gaarden.net/dfd09">zweite Kieler Document Freedom Day</a> (DFD) statt. Der globale DFD findet eigentlich einen Tag  vorher an vielen Orten statt. Aus organisatorischen Erwägung verlegen wir diesen aber in Kiel einen Tag nach hinten.</p>
<p>Befreiung hat dabei mehrere Aspekte. Zum einen die Verwendung Freier Dokumentenstandards wie das Open Document Format und die Veröffentlichung von Dokumenten unter einer Freien Lizenz (wie <a href="http://de.creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>).</p>
<p>Als weitere wichtige Komponente möchten wir die Verwendung von Freier Software anregen, wie z.B. dem bekannten <a href="http://de.openoffice.org">OpenOffice.org</a>-Paket oder den Umstieg auf Linux. Neben Informationen zu den oben genannten Themen soll es die Möglichkeit geben mitgebrachter Dokumente in das Open Document Format wandeln zu lassen.</p>
<p>Um 17.30 Uhr ist Beginn der Veranstaltung. Es gibt Kaffee und Kekse bis 20.30 Uhr umsonst.</p>
<ul>
<li>19.30 Uhr Vortrag &#8220;Wie Freie Standards &#38; Lizenzen die Welt verändern&#8221;</li>
<li> Im Anschluss ggf. noch ein paar Filme zum Thema</li>
</ul>
<p><a title="K34, Kiel-Gaarden von tpfennig bei Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpfennig/2996080928/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3287/2996080928_f582976325_m.jpg" alt="K34, Kiel-Gaarden" width="240" height="160" /></a><br />
Im Anschluss, ab 20 Uhr ist die K34-Bar geöffnet. Vor, zwischen und nach den Vorträgen soll es viel Zeit geben Fragen zu stellen und miteinander über die Themen ins Gespräch zu kommen. Wer möchte bringt seinen Laptop mit und lässt sich helfen Linux zu installieren.</p>
<p>Veranstalter ist die LUG Kiel (<a href="http://www.lug-kiel.de/">http://www.lug-kiel.de</a>) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Künstlergemeinschaft K34 (<a href="http://k34.gaarden.net/">http://k34.gaarden.net/)</a>. S.a. <a href="http://documentfreedom.org">http://documentfreedom.org</a></p>
<hr />
User können Laptops mitbringen, um sich OpenOffice.org für Linux, Windows oder MacOS X installieren zu lassen, oder sich eine kostenlose Kopie einer Installations-CD mitgeben lassen. Wer lieber gleich ganz auf Linux umstellen möchte, kann hier auch Hilfe erhalten.</p>

<p>Il DFD è l’evento in cui si cerca di far conoscere al grande pubblico i vantaggi, le potenzialità e i valori che caratterizzano gli standard aperti, con particolare attenzione per i formati aperti per i documenti ( ODF, Open Document Format), ma non solo.</p>
<p>E’ anche un&#8217;ottima occasione per diffondere e promuovere programmi in grado di operare con gli standard aperti, tra cui anche OpenOffice, la “office suite” libera, veloce ed efficiente, in grado di soppiantare a pieno la sua alternativa proprietaria.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Il <a href="http://www.dfdmilano09.tk" target="_blank">DFD</a> è l’evento in cui si cerca di far conoscere al grande pubblico i vantaggi, le potenzialità e i valori che caratterizzano gli standard aperti, con particolare attenzione per i formati aperti per i documenti ( ODF, Open Document Format), ma non solo. E’ anche una ottima occasione per diffondere e promuovere programmi in grado di operare con gli standard aperti di cui sopra, tra cui anche OpenOffice, la “office suite” libera, veloce ed efficiente, in grado di soppiantare a pieno la sua alternativa proprietaria Microsoft.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.dfdmilano09.tk"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-106" title="dfd09-web1" src="http://liberamente08.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/dfd09-web1.png" alt="dfd09-web1" width="350" height="495" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Il programma è incredibilmente ricco, grazie alla fitta rete di collaborazioni nate intorno all&#8217;evento: dall&#8217;<a href="http://www.arcimilano.it" target="_blank">ARCI Milano</a> al <a href="http://www.plio.it" target="_blank">PLIO</a>, da <a href="http://www.jamendo.com" target="_blank">Jamendo</a> al progetto <a href="http://www.databand.it">databand</a>&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Un ringraziamento speciale va ad <a href="http://www.abacocomputers.com" target="_blank">abaco computers</a> e <a href="http://www.yteck.it" target="_blank">yteck</a> che aiuteranno economicamente il progetto, altrimenti completamente autofinanziato.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Non due aziende a caso, tra l&#8217;altro&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="abaco" src="http://www.abacocomputers.com/images/stories/mc_1.jpg" alt="" width="459" height="85" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Il progetto Abaco nasce da un&#8217;esigenza diffusa, che emerge da 			quella che ormai è una necessità oggettiva ma che in molti tendono 			purtroppo a confondere ancora con una sorta di semplice, quanto 			sostanzialmente vana, speranza: la possibilità d&#8217;individuare un modo 			semplice e finalmente efficace per stimolare la crescita e la 			diffusione non solo di Linux e della filosofia che ne è a fondamento, 			ma anche e soprattutto d&#8217;una modalità di consumo piu&#8217; attenta alle 			tematiche etiche e alle discussioni legate alla sostenibilità 			economica. &#8220;Persino&#8221; in ambito informatico!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="yteck" src="http://www.yteck.it/yteckwp/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/logosymbol.gif" alt="" width="252" height="102" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Yteck nasce dall&#8217;esigenza e il desiderio di creare una econima &#8220;locale&#8221; e di aiutare sia chi vuole iniziare una propria attività con il supporto di chi ha gia fatto una parte importante di esperienze e chi ha gia una sua attività in campo informatico e vuole aderire al progetto<br />
Lavorando nel posto dove uno vive raggiungiamo alcuni scopi importanti: riduzione pendolarismo, riduzione inquinamento e usura automobile, riduzione costi,  &#8220;vivere&#8221; il posto dove si abita (e non solo andarci a dormire), stimolare la collaborazione e creare nuove occasioni per i ragazzi,  seguire o creare progetti di volontariato basati sull&#8217;informatica<br />
Obbiettivo del progetto è  fornire servizi in ambito informatico &#8211; Assistenza, riparazione ma anche servizi aggiunti. la logica vuole essere realmente quella di un punto di consulenza e non essere &#8220;imprigionati&#8221; in meccanismi di vendita di scorte di magazzino o investimenti sbagliati. Fornendo solo il servizio siamo piu sereni nel poter dare al cliente un consiglio davvero disinteressato e trovare insieme a lui e per lui la soluzione adatta.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Un ulteriore ringraziamento va ai nostri compagni di viaggio in questa avventura, da novembre infatti lavoriamo a stretto contatto con <a href="http://www.fsugitalia.org" target="_blank">FSUG Italia</a> che ha condiviso con noi la fatica organizzativa e logistica dell&#8217;evento e con cui condivideremo la gestione dell&#8217;iniziativa.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Che dire&#8230; Vi aspettiamo al document freedom day, al centro polifunzionale di Opera il 25 marzo da mattina a sera&#8230; Maggiori informazioni e il programma completo dell&#8217;evento sono disponibili sul sito <a href="http://www.dfdmilano09.tk" target="_blank">www.dfdmilano09.tk</a></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;" lang="it-IT">Il DFD è l’evento in cui si cerca di far conoscere al grande pubblico i vantaggi, le potenzialità e i valori che caratterizzano gli standard aperti, con particolare attenzione per i formati aperti per i documenti ( ODF, Open Document Format), ma non solo.

<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;" lang="it-IT">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;" lang="it-IT">L’evento è coordinato a livello internazionale dalla Free Software Foundation Europe, sezione europea della più celebre FSF. Per quest’anno l’evento prevede uno storico cambio di posizione, si passerà infatti dalla storica sede di FSUGitalia, Perugia, a Milano, più precisamente ad Opera (MI), al centro polifunzionale di via Gramsci 21. Ciò è stato possibile grazie alla preziosissima collaborazione ed ospitilatà offerta del neonato gruppo “Libere Culture Digitali” ( <a href="http://www.ellecidi.tk/">http://www.ellecidi.tk</a> ), che è già noto alla comunità FOSS, per il riuscitissimo evento “Liberamente08”.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;" lang="it-IT">Anche il programma verrà cambiato, con un ricco programma di interventi mattutini, alcuni talk tecnici durante il primo pomeriggio ed il Creative Commons Contest che si protrarrà sino alla sera, con un piccolo concerto. In oltre ci saranno numerosi ospiti relatoti come Davide Dozza, del PLIO ( Progetto Linguistico Italiano OpenOffice, <a href="http://www.plio.it/">http://www.plio.it</a> ), i due Fedora Ambassador Gianluca Varisco e Luca Foppiano, Michele Marzulli, autore del libro “OpenOffice che funziona”. Senza dimenticare i numerosi ospiti della sera, tra persone legate al mondo della musica e delle libertà digitali.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;" lang="it-IT">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;" lang="it-IT">La partecipazione all’evento è ovviamente aperta a tutti, con diversi livelli di coinvolgimento, e con numerosi argomenti presentati. Possono partecipare tutti, indipendentemente dal livello di preparazione posseduto, che si sia dei super esperti che dei neofiti completi, senza alcun tipo di prerequisito, se non la voglia di conoscere e di imparare.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;" lang="it-IT">Sarà un’occasione per incontrare esperti del settore, rivolgere domande e confrontare le proprie opinioni, il tutto liberamente.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><b>Document freedom &#8212; what&#8217;s that? It&#8217;s all about being able to read something you wrote a few years ago, and being able to read something that someone else has written &#8212; whether now or hundreds of years ago. </b><b>Or even just knowing that you&#8217;ll be able to read what someone writes tomorrow. It&#8217;s all about freedom from the bounds that may be imposed by a proprietary document format.</b></p>
<p>On Wednesday this week, a group of us got together at the <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#38;hl=en&#38;q=201+Sussex+Street,+Sydney+%28Google+Australia,+Level+18,+Tower+1+Darling+Park%29+@-33.8715691,151.2036216&#38;ie=UTF8&#38;om=1&#38;z=17&#38;ll=-33.8715691,151.2036216&#38;spn=0.006975,0.020353&#38;t=h" target="_blank" title="Google office">Google offices in Sydney</a> to swap stories and ideas and to kick off the Sydney team for the <a href="http://documentfreedom.org/" target="_blank" title="Document Freedom Day">Document Freedom Day</a> initiative. The immediate aim is to raise awareness of the problems and to promote the idea of <a href="http://www.documentfreedom.org/Open_Standards" target="_blank" title="Open standards for document formats">open standards</a> for document formats.</p>
<p>We carefully, almost, didn&#8217;t mention Microsoft’s Open Office XML (OOXML) document format and its <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1300" target="_blank" title="OOXML bid for ISO standard">bid to get it declared an ISO standard</a>.</p>
<p><font color="#800080"><b>The problem </b></font></p>
<p>If your writing is encased in a proprietary format, then to a certain extent you are at the mercy of the owners of that format. If they abandon backwards compatibility, the world will move on without really taking note of that event. A few years later, no-one will be able to read your work. Even worse, you may be unable to find some essential information that you <b>know </b>is out there, but is hidden from you because you&#8217;re using a different technology.</p>
<p><font color="#800080"><b>The meeting </b></font></p>
<p>The Sydney meeting was one of 200 similar events happening in 60 countries on the same day.</p>
<p>We started with a short introduction from each of the three sponsors:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.nobletech.com/alan.html" target="_blank" title="Alan Noble">Alan Noble</a>, chief of engineering at <a href="http://www.google.com.au/" target="_blank" title="Google Australia">Google Australia</a>, was a debonair and skilled MC. His introduction was accompanied by a fair bit of wry humour, mentioning &#8216;notorious formatting incompatibilities, without naming specific software suites or operating systems&#8217;. He raised the simple question: Who owns the data? And he issued
<ul>
<li>a challenge to software engineers to come up with a format that will be readable for the next 1000 years.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.isoc-au.org.au/Organisation/Dirs.html#hr" target="_blank" title="Holly Raiche">Holly Raiche</a> from <a href="http://www.isoc-au.org.au" target="_blank" title="ISOC-AU">Internet Society of Australia</a> pointed out that part of the need is to educate and assist people who are concerned about interoperability. Many people are worried, but feel that they don&#8217;t know enough and are worried about seeming foolish.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.dhanapalan.com/blog/2008/03/15/what-if-windows-went-open-source/" target="_blank" title="Sridhar Dhanapalan">Sridhar Dhanapalan</a> from the <a href="http://slug.org.au/" target="_blank" title="SLUG">Sydney Linux Users Group</a> said that open formats tie in with open source. He looked at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta" target="_blank" title="Magna Carta">Magna Carta</a> and the <a href="http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/" target="_blank" title="Domesday Book">Domesday Book</a> &#8212; low tech, but we can still read them centuries later &#8212; and compared them to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Domesday_Project" target="_blank" title="BBC Domesday Project">BBC Domesday Project</a>, putting the book onto laser disks which were unreadable 16 years later.</li>
</ul>
<p>The two main speakers of the evening were Kate Lundy and David Vaile. Both so different, and both so interesting.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.katelundy.com.au/Aboutkate.htm" target="_blank" title="Kate Lundy">Kate Lundy</a> &#8212; Wow, what a dynamo! She is Senator for the Australian Capital Territory, and has a strong interest in information technology, the National Archives, open technology and the laws governing freedom of information. Her talk was short and pithy. One of the main points I got out of it is this (my synopsis, not a direct quote):</p>
<blockquote><p>With the recent change in the Australian Federal Government comes a unique opportunity for creative change. We should seize this opportunity to promote a drive towards open standards &#8212; particularly within the government services themselves. The National Archives, for example, have a range of rules governing standards for document formats, such as metadata.</p></blockquote>
<p>Kate drew a parallel between the government&#8217;s &#8216;New Federalism&#8217; (breaking down boundaries and sharing responsibilities) and the drive for open standards. I&#8217;m not so sure I get the comparison, but it was great to hear her enthusiasm, commitment and ideas.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bakercyberlawcentre.org/About_the_Centre.htm" target="_blank" title="David Vaile">David Vaile</a> &#8212; The enthusiastic self-professed devil&#8217;s advocate. He was determined not to mention <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1300" target="_blank" title="OOXML bid for ISO standard">the war</a>, and mostly succeeded. David is executive director of the <a href="http://www.bakercyberlawcentre.org/About_the_Centre.htm" target="_blank" title="Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre">Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre</a> at the University of New South Wales. His talk covered a wide range of information. He divided the topic into three areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open content (public domain; creative commons and free for education licences; Google&#8217;s friendly acquisition and acquiescence; crown copyright etc; and hybrids of the above)</li>
<li>Open source and free/libre software</li>
<li>Open standards and formats</li>
</ul>
<p>There are some disquieting ins and outs to all this. Here are just some of the things David raised, in his role as devil&#8217;s advocate. Should we consider standards as &#8216;legislation lite&#8217;? Look at the wars going on within big companies. Even the Microsoft-versus-the-world standards wars are not black and white. Yes, we did mention the war after all <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Look at the process of defining the standards &#8212; does it work? Does the buzzword &#8216;open&#8217; mask other interests? What does &#8216;free&#8217; actually mean &#8212; does it include the rider &#8216;but within the boundaries laid down by me&#8217;? Are we in danger of moving towards extremism?</p>
<p>David urged us always to take a step back (actually, it was more like being gently shoved back) and be sceptical. He challenged us to think in terms of 500 years &#8212; especially for archives and such.</p>
<p>After the speeches, we held a short question time. I thought these two were the most interesting:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>How can we participate in the Document Freedom initiative</b>, moving on from this meeting? Kate Lundy answered that the online facilities were being set up.</li>
<li><b>How does cloud computing affect the openness of documents?</b> There was quite a discussion around this point. Does the <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2007/tc20071116_379585.htm" target="_blank" title="cloud computing">cloud</a> get around the problem of obsolescence? Who owns the data? Bandwidth is costly, especially in some areas of the world. Governments, including the Australian government, have a risk aversion to technology &#8212; but this may not be a bad thing. We should look at a dual model, i.e. cloud plus local presences. The concepts of &#8216;control of data&#8217; and &#8216;location of data&#8217; should be separated because they actually have nothing to do with each other. (You may think you control your data if it&#8217;s on your own hard disk. But what happens when your disk crashes, or becomes obsolete?)</li>
</ul>
<p><font color="#800080"><b>My conclusions</b></font></p>
<p>This was really interesting. I&#8217;m staying tuned.</p>
<p>One thing I&#8217;d like to get deeper into, is the open formats themselves. At the meeting, we concentrated a fair bit on the <b>content </b>of documents (ownership and security) rather than the actual format. We did mention <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office" target="_blank" title="Open Document Format">ODF</a> and HTML. What about XML formats like <a href="http://dita.xml.org/" target="_blank" title="DITA">DITA</a> and <a href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank" title="DocBook">DocBook</a>? Are they mature enough for mainstream use? If not, what can we do to promote them? And why do WYSIWYG editing tools always seem to lag behind? Why is transformation between formats so difficult (e.g. XSLT) &#8212; is this stuff just for geeks <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><i><b>Update on 1 April:</b> Check out this excellent <a href="http://www.livetechdocs.com/blog/db/single-source-documentation-docbook-versus-dita/" title="DocBook versus DITA" target="_blank">comparison of DocBook and DITA</a> by Teresa Mulvihill. </i></p>
<p>After the formal meeting, most people went on to dinner and informal networking. I had been awake since 01:30 that morning (yes, that&#8217;s just after midnight &#8212; and don&#8217;t ask why, because it&#8217;s nothing exciting) so I left. I guess I probably missed out on some really cool stuff. If anyone who was there reads this blog, please let me know what happened.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today marks the first observation of <a href="http://www.documentfreedom.org/">Document Freedom Day</a>, from here on out an annual celebration held on the last Wednesday of March.</p>
<p>From the official website:</p>
<blockquote><p>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 <a title="Open Standards" href="http://documentfreedom.org/Open_Standards">Open Standards</a> in general.</p>
<p>Complementary to <a class="external text" title="http://softwarefreedomday.org" rel="nofollow" href="http://softwarefreedomday.org/">Software Freedom Day</a>, we aim to have local teams all over the world organise events on the last Wednesday of March. 2008 is the first year that Document Freedom Day is being called for, and we are looking for people around the world who are willing to join the effort.</p>
<p>DFD&#8217;s main goals are:</p>
<ul>
<li> promotion and adoption of free document formats</li>
<li> forming a global network</li>
<li> coordination of activities that happen on 26th of March, Document Freedom Day</li>
</ul>
<p>Once a year, we will celebrate Document Freedom Day as a global community. Between those days, DFD will be focused on facilitating community action and building awareness for issues of Document Freedom and <a title="Open Standards" href="http://documentfreedom.org/Open_Standards">Open Standards</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Given the work on open data standards, structured data, and open repositories being done by <a href="http://blog.openwetware.org/scienceintheopen">Cameron</a>, <a href="http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/blogs/murrayrust">Peter MR</a>, and others in the open science community, this is definitely cause for celebration! Unfortunately, the United States seems to be <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080326-happy-document-freedom-day-a-day-of-document-liberation.html">lagging behind other countries</a> in its observance of this holiday (but maybe we&#8217;ll give it another year).</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://helix-web.stanford.edu/people/alain/">Alain Laederach</a> for the tip!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://thewheat.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/dfd08-banner-120x60.png?w=120&#038;h=60" alt="Document Freedom Day banner" align="bottom" height="60" width="120" /> The world&#8217;s <a href="http://documentfreedom.org/News/20080326">FIRST Document Freedom Day</a> has come.</p>
<p>It came to me as a surprised as I was checking my RSS feeds today and found in on Ubuntu Tutorials &#8211; <a href="http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/03/22/what-are-you-doing-for-document-freedom-day/">What Are You Doing For Document Freedom Day?</a>. Go spread the word. For freedom!!!<br />
<blockquote>In a world where records are increasingly kept in electronic form, Open Standards are crucial for valuable information to outlive the application in which it was initially generated. The question of Document Freedom has severe repercussions for freedom of choice, competition, markets and the sovereignty of countries and their governments.</p></blockquote>
<p>
<blockquote>The Document Freedom Day (DFD) is a global day for Document Liberation with roughly 200 active teams worldwide. It is a day of grassroots effort around the world to promote and build awareness for the relevance of Free Document Formats in particular and Open Standards in general.</p></blockquote>
