Standards Australia defends Jelliffe he has never developed Microsoft products
,----[ Quote ]
| Look at this press release from Standards Australia, it is really funny how
| they carefully weight their words:
|
| The article also incorrectly describes Rick Jelliffe as a ‘Microsoft
| developer’. While Mr Jelliffe consults widely to industry and government
| including Microsoft, he has never developed Microsoft products.
|
| Let's rewrite it like this to see if it changes something:
|
| Rick Jelliffe is not a ‘Microsoft developer’ as such. While Mr Jelliffe
| is being paid for consultancy work by Microsoft, he is not developing
| Microsoft products.
|
| Where is the money?

Where is the money, COLA trolls? Does any of you do consulting for the Vole?
Hot stuffin' in Greece?

| After the voting of the Greek HoD you may ask why the votes were 14 in total,
| when the organisations appointed to the committee are just 12. That's only
| the latest of the magical wonders around OpenXML.
|
| [...]
|
| New voting members are joining the committee at the last minute:
|
| However, during the discussion, the representative of the Information
| Society showed the fax he had received, to which was attached the
| decision 19103/08 of the ELOT administration, dated 1 February 2008,
| which modifies the composition of the Committee by adding four new
| organisations: the Ministry of Education, two departments of the Ministry
| of Economics, and Information Society S.A. The representatives of NTUA
| had not been informed of this decision.

Surely, only open source FANATICS joined at the very last minute for no
apparent reason, right? No?
Did Microsoft make phonecalls to Hungarian and the US diplomats (among others)
to flip over some crucial votes? This is well documented.
