Uruguay’s AGESIC (Agency for the Development of Government Electronic Management and Information and Knowledge Society), which is responsible for proposing IT standards for the federal government, has officially recommended the use of ODF for editable documents and PDF for documents in final, published form. ODF has now firmly taken root in South America, with Uruguay joining Brazil and several regional governments, including Parana (Brazil) and Misiones (Argentina), as ODF adopters. Congratulations, Uruguay!
