CDF: Disrupting the Disruption
,----[ Quote ]
| It may be news to some -- not to the ODF Community, certainly -- that we at
| the OpenDocument Foundation have been displeased with the direction of ODF
| development this year. We find that ODF is not the open format with the open
| process we thought it was or originally intended it to be.

OOXML Payback Time as Global Standards Work in SC 34 "Grinds to a Halt"
,----[ Quote ]
| But unfortunately, the damage has not stopped there: since the OOXML ballot
| closed on September 2, not a single ballot has received enough votes to count
| in this important committee. Why? Because the last minute arrivals to SC 34
| are not bothering to vote.

Corrupt countries were more likely to support the OOXML document format

| Is this just a random coincidence? The median of the CPI index of the above
| mentioned 70 countries is 3.95. Of the most corrupted half (CPI index less
| than 3.95) 23 or 77% voted for approval (approval or approval with comments)
| and 7 or 23% for disapproval; 5 abstained. Of the least corrupted half (CPI
| index more than 3.95) 13 or 54% voted for approval and 11 or 46% voted for
| disapproval; 11 abstained - see the table below.

Microsoft accused of more OOXML standards fiddling
,----[ Quote ]
| However the 11 new countries are refusing to say how they will vote. These
| include Cote d'Ivoire, Cyprus, Ecuador, Jamaica, Lebanon, Malta, Pakistan,
| Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Uruguay and Venezuela. Most people seem to think
| that these have been put there by Vole to make sure the standard gets pushed
| through.

The OOXML Odyssey: Reader Outrage Edition

| What does it say about Microsoft and its current OOXML push that our

| so clearly opposed to the Redmond-sponsored technology?
