Free and Open Source Software Society Malaysia
Today (17th of August 2006) I have the honour to be invited to speak for the Malaysian Free Software community, As I commented in my last post about the Malaysian Government preliminary decision to accept ODF they are working on many good things. Check their website: http://foss.org.my/
See below my presentation about the SELF project at their monthly Meetup. It was received with many interested questions.
You know what they say about Free Software in Malaysia? "Free as in Freedom, think free speech, not free Teh Tarik." (tea is more common in Malaysia than beer :-) ).
Malaysian Government preliminary decision to accept ODF
Malaysia's standards body SIRIM voted to propose ODF as a country standard, following the recognition in May by ISO of ODF as an international standard. After a public comment period that ends in October, Malaysia's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation is expected to formally endorse ODF by year's end, recommending the format for use by the public sector.

I have the pleasure to be in Malaysia this month and have met the core people that are behind the Malaysian Government's move towards ODF acceptation. More news is soon to follow on this part.
