Frage an die Papier & Druck-Bubble:

für die Größe (Fläche) von Papier gibt es Standard-Formate (DIN), bzw sonst kann es in mm x mm angegeben werden.
für die dritte Dimension gibt es die Grammatur.
wie kann angegeben werden, wie glatt oder matt ein Papier sein? Es gibt verschiedene Beschichtungen, die dann vl immer gleich glatt sind, aber was gibts für mattes Papier?
und wie wird die Abrundung von Ecken angegeben? In mm (Radius)? Gibts da Standards?

Ich will gern wieder große Mengen an blanko Karten zuschneiden lassen und dann, wenn ich zufrieden bin, beim nächsten Mal Angaben machen können, um genau identische Karten nachbestellen zu können.

"There are several possible dates you might pick, but for me it will always be September 5th 2014 - when I committed the first sketch of a specification I called ActivityPump and pushed it to Github."

The obvious choice for ActivityPub’s birthday would be the 23rd of January 2018 - the day it was annointed as a W3C recommendation. That doesn’t seem quite right though - its not as if the spec cam...

Warum OOXML-basierte Office-Suiten ODF schlecht verarbeiten Diese Frage stellt sich jedem, der sich für das Standardformat anstelle eines proprietären Formats entscheidet: Warum verarbeiten Office-Suiten, die OOXML als natives Format verwenden, ODF so schlecht bis katastrophal? Die zwei naheliegendsten Antworten sind: Die Anbieter haben das Format vernachlässigt und es schlecht behandelt. https://de.blog.documentfoundation.org/2026/07/31/warum-auf-ooxml-basierende-suiten-schlecht-mit-odf-umgehen/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware #LibreOffice #OpenDocumentFormat #Standards #Technologie

What is Digital Sovereignty Digital sovereignty is not about owning everything, it is about ensuring that nothing essential can be taken away.

Sen. Jon Ossoff: "The price of admission to the president's service seems to be proof that you're willing to lie for him. Have you seen it? Maybe you saw Jay Clayton, the president's nominee to lead our intelligence services, refuse again and again while he was under oath to affirm Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, or Pete Hegseth before the Senate this week refusing to recant his lies about the war." #ethics #standards #politics #Trump #dishonesty

The @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu wants to hear "from cybersecurity professionals and SME stakeholders on how #standards can best support real‑world #compliance needs under the Cyber Resilience Act." Let's make sure they hear from plenty of people who understand #OpenSource and the #CRA.

cyberstand.eu

Cyberstand.eu public consultation | Cyberstand

Standards will play a central role in how companies demonstrate compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act, especially for cybersecurity products and services used across the single market. For many SMEs, these future product standards will be the most practical way to meet regulatory requirements in a clear, cost‑effective manner.

Thank you, on behalf of the Open Document Format: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/05/05/thank-you-on-behalf-of-odf/ #opensource #freesoftware #foss #standards

Thank you, on behalf of ODF - TDF Community Blog

Recently, The Document Foundation published an open letter to European citizens. We asked Euro-Office – the new coalition forming around a European alternative for productivity – whether ODF (the Open Document Format) would be its native document format. Unfortunately, we have not yet received a reply, and this confirms – at least in part – the suspicion that Euro-Office will join Microsoft’s allies in a strategy to lock in European citizens, who will see their content snatched away by a company
