OpenDocument Format Alliance

As documents and services are increasingly transformed from paper to electronic form, there is a growing problem that governments and their constituents may not be able to access, retrieve and use critical records, information and documents in the future.

The alliance works globally to educate policymakers, IT administrators and the public on the benefits and opportunities of the OpenDocument Format, to help ensure that government information, records and documents are
accessible across platforms and applications, even as technologies change. Read more. (Thanks to Denise Nicholson)
