OpenForum Europe or OFE is a European Open Source software advocacy group. ==About== Founded in 2002 it seeks to encourage the use of open source software and Open standards among businesses, consumers and governments. OFE's role has since evolved and its primary role now is to promote the use of open standards in ICT as a means of achieving full openness and interoperability of computer systems throughout Europe. It continues to promote open source software, as well as openness more generally as part of a vision to facilitate open, competitive choice for IT users. OFE is a registered interest group with the European Commission that devotes much of its time to explaining the merits of openness in computing to politicians and legislators across Europe. OFE works closely with the European Commission, European Parliament, national and local governments both directly and via its national partners. It fully supports the European Commission's Digital Agenda, which aims to create a flourishing digital economy in Europe by 2020. OFE maintains an ongoing dialogue with key decision makers. It participates actively in public consultations that concern the industry and often serves as an interlocutor between legislators and the wider open computing community. Once a year it hosts a Summit at which top European policymakers and thought leaders from the industry share their views about the importance of open computing. In 2010 Vice President Neelie Kroes, European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda provided the keynote. The organisation is actively involved in the discussion about the development of Open Document Format (ODF), an ISO standard for electronic documents. OFE cooperates with the Open Source Consortium, Free Software Foundation Europe, the Linux Professional Institute LPI as well as Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII) and the ODF Alliance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OpenForum Europe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
