There is
some good news from Ecuador (in
English) and also
from Turkey:
ODF Turkey was officially established on April 10 during the annual Government IT Managers event in Antalya. I made the announcement during my presentation there together with Prof. Dr. Turhan MenteÃ
Ÿ, President of the Turkish Informatics Association (Türkiye BiliÃ
Ÿim Derneßi). Current members include Sun, Oracle, IBM, the Turkish Informatics Association, the Software Freedom Initiative, and the Pardus team (a national GNU/Linux distribution).
