ODF Spreadsheet Interoperability: Theory and Practice
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a follow up to some work we did at the ODF Interoperability Workshop
| in Beijing last November. We had good participation there: IBM, Sun, Google,
| Novell and Redflag from the big vendor side, as well as a good number of
| users. It was a full-day workshop and we covered a number of topics. One of
| them was spreadsheet formulas. I gave a short presentation on spreadsheet
| interoperability, specifically on the work we've done on OpenFormula for ODF
| 1.2. We also did a short exercise to look for spreadsheet formula bugs.

| proprietary software vendors as source of software and technology. Many IT
| projects had to “integrate” and create workarounds for bugs in proprietary
| components, because no feedback on status was available. Mary Jo Foley writes
| on the lack of feedback to beta testers from Microsoft...

Microsoft hijacking ODF: the freedom to embrace and extend
,----[ Quote ]
| Doug Mahugh of Microsoft is pushing inside the ODF Technical Committee for
| proprietary extensions, by which the monopolist vendor could embrace and
| extend the format to "innovate". The extensions possibility is the door open
| to proprietary closed source parts, that renders the ODF customer a Microsoft
| slave once again like in the good old times of the .DOC.
