Innovation at Robert Pogson

There is news that Office 2007 has been updated with new

support for PDF
support for ODF

OOPS! We had PDF about 2003 in OpenOffice.org version 1.1. We had ODF in 2005. That seems like lack of innovation for that other OS. You would think that one of the richest corprations in the software business could keep up but they only have about 10000 coders. The rest are salespeople. Salespeople don’t innovate. FLOSS has 300000 coders and counting. They innovate.

Go with the innovators. Go with FLOSS.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
