estebandido | 11 April 2008Yesterday, Thursday April 10, 2008, the President of Ecuador Rafael Correa Delgado , 1014 signed a decree to which the Free Software becomes a state policy to be adopted by all entities.
This has been a big step for the Ecuadorian community of free software, because a year ago the President by a video declared a state policy on use. Today it is a reality.
Not only the citizens' revolution is underway, but also the technological revolution.
The decree can be downloaded from here .
Ahead free software, go ahead!

Marcelo Orlando | 12 April 2008Dear friends of Ecuador, I'm from Argentina and I can only congratulate you for what I consider a great step forward for the progress of his country (and why not, throughout Latin America).
On the other hand, let me say that I feel a healthy envy as a citizen of Argentina, to see how American brethren countries (Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela) progress in the achievement of technological independence and promotion of local technological development from free and open software, while here in Argentina seem to recede rapidly (steps backwards unfortunately):
http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-101874-2008-04-04.html (Scioli private meeting - Bill Gates)
It only remains for us, follow the example of you and other government agencies around the world (Munich, Extremadura, India, etc, etc, etc) that have been able to overcome the great economic interests and work for the good of the citizens of the country, which should always be the normal course any government decision.
Congratulations and congratulations Rafael Esteban, that you worked hard for Ecuador, on par with countries from the likes of India, Canada, China and New Zealand and 14 more countries express a categorical rejection of the devaluation of the standards (and I mean the infamous fast-track OOXML (Office Open XML)).
A greeting!
