Links for the Beginning of Spring

• I happen to write articles on email clients. And this time, my friend Tristan Nitot is not going to like it.
• Interesting description of one of the upcoming features in OpenOffice.org: Secured digital signatures. Guess what, we will soon be the only ones to have them!
• An excellent exemple on how native-language projects cooperate inside OpenOffice.org. Here, you can see the Chinese, Japanese and Korean communities working to tackle common problems.My thanks to the teams and especially to Hirano Kazunari!
• This time, Tristan will approve that one: command line comes to the Firefox bar, integrating completely Ubiquity to Firefox!
• Unfortunate but expected, the French Minister of the Record Labels Culture, strongly supported by the Government has forced the Parliament to vote the outrageous legislation on “illegal music downloading”, treating 14 million of her own citizens like pirates. Here’s someone who must have some clear picture on what “serving private interests in detriment of the public good” means.
• I have been asked this several times already this week, so let me clarify something: I do not work for Sun, nor for IBM and I do not know anything else about the buyout rumourthan what the press says.

Enjoy your week-end!
