My Seminar on "OpenDocument, OpenXML and the others: how file formats can be used to favor (or hamper) innovation, active citizenship and really free markets" at the Laboratory of Economics and Management of the S. Anna School of Advanced Studies.

Here is some feedback and comments about this seminar:

"Historically a culture has been little more than nothing without its documents. The end of a civilization has been based usually in the destruction of its written knowledge. The speech of Mr. Fioretti shows how important for a culture is to warranty along the centuries the open interoperability of their documents and so the accurate preservation and transmission of the knowledge and customs of such civilization." - Alberto Barrionuevo, Socio Director of OPENTIA and former director of FFII
