[nylug-talk] NYS Electronic Documents Report

[Seth Johnson]

(It looks to me like a few very proficient folks in Open Office might
be well advised to contact them and offer assistance.  It appears they
really want to publish in ODF format, but apparently hit some sort of
hurdle.  -- Seth)

> Thank you again for having submitted comments in response to the
> "Request for Public Comments" which our office  published in December
> 2007.
>
> We are giving all RFPC commenters individual courtesy notice
> concerning publication of the e-records report itself.
>
> The report is entitled, "A Strategy for Openness:  Enhancing E-Records
> Access in New York State."
>
> There is a media release here:
> http://www.oft.state.ny.us/News/E-RecordsStudyAnnouncement.pdf
>
> The report has been published in multiple formats on our agency's
> website at:  http://www.oft.state.ny.us/policy/esra/erecords-study.htm
>
> (Please note this is the first time any of NYS government's agencies
> has ever published a document in ODF format.  We ran into problems
> this morning not caused by the format, but rather with some controls
> on our systems which were not prepared to encounter such documents.
> So the website links to ODF versions are not working at the moment,
> but will be repaired soon).
>
> We hope the report will contribute to your own deliberations about
> e-records openness issues.

> Cordially,
