Here I am, writting this simple text, and there you are, reading it. There is something quasi-magical in the simplicity of this remote and asyncronous communication, how easy it is for someone, somehow, to write a toot that someone, somehow will be able to read. But for me the real magic is in those two keywords and the variety they represent: the someone, the somehow. You can read this, it does not matter where or how I wrote it. And you, the reader, can be anywere in the world, you can be reading this on a desktop computer, or a tablet, a phone, a wristwatch, via e-mail or RSS, on a fediverse client or maybe a twtxt one. It does not matter if you are my neighbor or across the world, rich or poor, no one needs to know your gender, your height, how many cookies you ate today.

All of this, this quasi-magical simplicity, is possile because we use Open Standards. And today I welcome you to join me in celebrating them, and with you a happy #DocumentFreedomDay !

📢 Today is Document Freedom Day! A day to celebrate Open Standards and open document formats that give us the freedom to create, share, and store data without restrictions.

At #CollaboraOnline, we embrace Open Standards to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to exchange knowledge freely—without worrying about vendor lock-ins or hidden fees.

1st Jan - #PublicDomainDay
last Wednesday of March - #DocumentFreedomDay #DFD
16 August - #DebianDay
October - #Hacktoberfest

I'm not sure we can say #IDAD is in December - it has been the last few years, but it wasn't so before. Maybe now it is decided to always be in #December but I haven't heard about that anywhere. Maybe @endDRM or @fsf can shed some light on this - I'd love to start knowing the date for the next #IDAD with more time in advance...

💡 The last Wednesday of March can only mean one thing...

#DocumentFreedomDay ✍️
