free software in dutch government

Friday, 21 September 2007

Software Libre in La Laguna

Friday, 21 September 2007
This week I've been at the Jornadas de Software Libre conference in Tenerife. One thing that struck me was that the Spanish don't have a word for 'Open Source', which would be something like 'Codigo abierto'; they always use the term 'Software Libre'.

To docbook or not to docbook?

Wednesday, 19 September 2007
Recently I work on updating polish translation of QCad manual before its release in OpenOffice Polska. Andrew Mustun, QCad author, has switched to xparrot documenting tool, i.e. an online and offline toolkit, containing markup which is simplified compared to docbook. When using xparrot I sometimes think how faster my work is when I just use simple set of tags (that's why having this in KDE would make me motivated to update docs more frequently, and possibly - online). Yet I have not seen to many templates that take advantage of such semantics used in Docbook (which is great -but for machines)... <--!break--> Read More
