In many nations teams gathered to celebrate the document freedom day. Roughly 200 teams from more than 60 countries worldwide were organising local activities to raise awareness for Document Freedom and Open Standards. In Berlin the FFII teamed up with the FSFE and donated a cake to the Foreign Office for their commitment towards standard openess.

Mr Schuster from the Foreign Office indicated that he also participates in DIN discussions on OOXML and seeks improvements.
