In a previous post I mentioned that Google were hosting a local (Sydney) event to celebrate this day.  Unfortunately I don’t live in Sydney so attending was not possible. However, Sarah Maddox, who was able to attend has posted a great article on her blog covering the event.  It is great to see the concentration on the broader challenges ‘document freedom’ presents rather than simply focussing on disputes over format specifications.  I encourage anyone interested in finding out more about document freedom to read Sarah’s article.
