"As of April next year, Danish state office communication will be in the ODF format rather
than Microsoft’s office format following a Parliamentary decision.
After four years of discussion, Parliamentary parties have decided to use the Open Document
Format in all exchanges of documents between official institutions.
“My ambition is that in the future we will only communicate using open standards,” Science
Minister Helge Sander told Parliament, according to version2.dk.
And for once, the Unity List agrees with the government.
“We believe that open source is the way forward and should replace the patent attitudes that
we currently have,” says the Unity List’s Per Clausen.
Initially, the decision to move over to ODF will only affect national institutions. Councils
and regions are expected to come later"
