"Productive" Open Document Plugfest
,----[ Quote ]
| The first ODF Plugfest has brought together both corporate and independent
| developers to test the interoperability of Open Document Format (ODF)
| documents. As Microsoft showed earlier this year, it is possible to comply
| with the ODF specification but not offer useful interoperability with other
| software that reads ODF. The Plugfest, held in the Hague, Netherlands, was
| initiated by the Dutch government which is promoting the "Three Os", Open
| Standards, Open Content and Open Source, and is pushing for the adoption of
| ODF as an open document format. The Plugfest opened with a speech from Frank
| Heemskerk, the Netherlands' Minister of Foreign Trade, who asked the
| attendees "to go beyond compliance and help achieve broad-based open
| standards".

Why Microsoft Hates - No, *Really* Hates - ODF
,----[ Quote ]
| What this means is that Microsoft is only making big money on its Office
| suite, for whose luxurious margins it must therefore fight tooth and nail.
| Which, judging by its behaviour at the ISO, and some more recent stories, is
| exactly what it is doing in the face of growing pressure from open ODF-based
| alternatives like OpenOffice.org.
