| schestowitz | Subject: My comment on Glyn Moody's article | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | While I was never impressed with the OGC Public Policy Procurement Note with its get out of jail card "wherever possible" usage, the definition it contained was adequate, looking suspiciously as if had been copied from the FSFE website. | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | So why was it reduced to the status of a draft only three months later if, with your faintly logical positivist approach to the answer to the PQs, things are that rosy? | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Only last week at TransferSummit we heard one official announce that as part of YaCOOSP, involving many meetings and co-ordinations, that the definition was still being discussed and one might emerge at the year end. | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Until then we do not have an official definition of an open standard. | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | The second official, happy to liken open standards to pornography - he knows it when he sees it. Of course, we'd have to know that he'd seen real pornography not confusing it with fake pornography. I'm sure that analogy stretched to the ill-informed Cabinet Office survey on open standards, somewhat disingenuously linked to "other consultations" as it isn't a consultation, in a further answer to a PQ from the same MP. | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Then of course we need to recall that the Government ICT Strategy refers only yo using "common standards" what ever they are. | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | The effect of your article, unintended or not, is to ease the pressure on government to actually deliver. It's being retweeted as a done deal. | Sep 13 16:28 |
| schestowitz | BTW: The MP in question is quite transparent in his on-the-record interests which I interpret as benig pro-Royalties, probably pro software patents and based on the PQ answered the following day, pro proprietary software. | Sep 13 16:28 |

| schestowitz | These are the same trolls. Some of them roam COLA[dvocacy] in USENET as well, 24/7. They especially like to harass and defame prominent FOSS advocates. | Sep 13 23:55 |
