Living in Massachusetts, I strongly support the state's move to migrate their publications and documents to a truely open format (i.e. OASIS Open Document).
Now I recently ran across a public petition to the German Parliament to enact a similar regulation for the German authorities.
Now: if you are German and feel like this is a good idea, please go here: http://itc.napier.ac.uk/e-Petition/bundestag/view_petition.asp?PetitionID=11
