Dear friends of Ecuador, I'm from Argentina and I can not
Orlando Marcelo | 12 April 2008Dear friends of Ecuador, I'm from Argentina and I can only congratulate you on what I consider a very great step forward for the progress of his country (and why not, in any mix).
On the other hand, let me say that I feel a healthy envy as a citizen of Argentina, to see how Latin American brothers countries (Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela) progress in achieving technological independence and promotion of local technological development from free and open software, while here in Argentina seem to recede at a rapid pace (steps backwards, unfortunately):
http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-101874-2008-04-04.html (private meeting Scioli - Bill Gates)
Only remains for us, follow the example of you and other government entities worldwide (Munich, Extremadura, India, etc, etc, etc) have been able to overcome major economic interests and work toward the good of citizens of the country, which should always be the normal course of any government decision.
Congratulations and congratulations Rafael Esteban, who you worked hard for Ecuador, the two countries 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)).
Greetings!
