OpenOffice.org and ODF adoption in Malaysia - thumbs up!
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 21:16.
In an interesting twist (interesting for Microsoft and their OOXML apologists), about a month ago, MAMPU, the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit, decided that they were going to go OpenOffice.org and go ODF, and dump Microsoft Office by year-end 2008. This made its round around news sites, and everyone was naturally talking about it.
Now, you can hold them to their word, as they update a Wiki page, informing you about how many agencies are moving to OpenOffice.org. Big wins.

Formats the door to Linux adoption
This is actually pretty major. Microsoft has abused and corrupted the country like nobody's business over the past year. The Open Malaysia blog has a lot of the fine details and stories.
