Subject: Re: [tdf-discuss] Help vendor-lock-in awareness

I generally advise people to send me PDFs rather than editable documents
unless there's a real need for me to edit them. That way there's no risk
anyone will get locked-in to anything :-)

If I *do* need to be able to edit I request Hybrid PDF files, which are
PDFs with the original ODF source embedded. They are easy to make with
LibreOffice and I've created a tutorial here:

Friends,

Every email I send has the footer as in this one.

The purpose is to achieve;

   1. Vendor-lock-in awarness
   2. Hook in on the society learning curve status.

The message is:
ODT in place of DOC/DOCX,
ODS in place of XLS/XLSX,
ODP in place of PPT/PPTX.

ODF is one bridge to far. People think in DOC, XLS and PPT. To get them
away from that we should start from there. Not with a high level ODF
concept!
