Massachusetts dumps Microsoft Office
Massachusetts dumps Microsoft Office
It's the Boston Tea Party again
By Nick Farrell: Thursday 01 September 2005, 07:58
THE STATE of Massachusetts, the people who brought you the Boston tea party, have joined in another revolution against good King Billy’s Office software.
The state government has decided that all electronic documents saved and created by state employees have to use open formats from the beginning of 2007.
From then every state document must be in PDF or using Open Office formats. The big idea is to make sure that every citizen one can open and read electronic documents, something that it is convinced that VoleWare cannot do.
Microsoft is clearly worried. A lot of people live in Massachusetts and that is a big thumbs up for open sauce. However Vole is hoping to get around the problem by applying recognition from a technology industry standards body for recognition of its own formats as open standards.
However, since the new formats, soon to be seen in the next version of Office, will still include some proprietary elements, and are specifically excluded under the Massachusetts proposal."

Outshine: phpBB Blog
Outshine: phpBB Blog
Overview
This is phpBB Blog, version 2.2.2, released July 30, 2005. Copyright ? 2005 by Tony Boyd.
This is a blog tool for phpBB. The basic idea is this: you have a phpBB installation already running, you've set up a forum for your posts, and now you want to have a blog-ish page and RSS file to show off each post.
There are 3 major ways to use this product. You'll have to decide which one you want to pursue. First, there is the default setup, which uses the provided index.php file to display the blog. If you wish to use that, see the Installation heading, below. Second, there is the option to bypass the provided index.php file, and simply embed the blog display into your pre-existing home page. To do that, see the Howto section, below. The third option is to embed a mini-blog into your pre-existing home page. All this displays is the title of recent posts. If you're interested in that, see the Howto section, below.
