Oooh, the Romney administration is doing something I can agree with. It is requiring that state documents be saved in an open document format:

Massachusetts’ shift to the so-called OpenDocument format seeks to ensure the state’s electronic records can easily be read, exchanged and modified now and in the future, free of licensing restrictions and compatibility problems as software evolves.

This move is rather grandiosely being called the software equivalent of “the shot heard ’round the world.” (Never mind that many other places in Europe and in America have already moved to open source.)
