Obstacles for the adoption of OOo
FUD> A change is scary if it can't be calculated completely
> Go with the market leader! 1980: "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM hardware."
V2.0: Nobody will get fired for buying Microsoft software.
> Best to fight with positive examples http://www.metamorphosis.org.mk/content/view/1279/4/lang,en/
Costs of change which are real?> New user interface and new work flows can require user training
> Users will need more training for MS Office 2007 than for OpenOffice.org
> Quality of change management is important

Freedom of documents
You should have the right to own your owninformation. It's your intellectual capital and you
worked hard to produce it for your citizens. Sundoesn't own it, Microsoft doesn't own it, you own it,and that means it should be living in a nice, long-lived, non-proprietary data format that isn'tanyone's competitive weapon.

Perspectives
Modern information technology has turned the world into a village with amazingspeed. It links people and builds bridges in a way which even quite recently we wouldhave believed impossible.
An open, unhindered exchange of information in all areas of life is of fundamentalimportance for today's knowledge-based society. It is an important foundation for our
shared objective: a peaceful, democratic, pluralistic society. The Open DocumentFormat, as a completely open and ISO-standardized format, is an excellent vehiclefor the free exchange of knowledge and information in the globalized age.
