What's up at the OpenDocument Foundation?

11/08/2007  
Relevance: 8.65
The OpenDocument Foundation, founded five years ago by Gary Edwards, Sam Hiser, and Paul"Buck" Martin (marbux) with the express purpose of representing the OpenDocument format in the"open standards process," has reversed course. It now supports the W3C's Compound Document Format instead of its namesake ODF. Yet why this change of course has occurred is something of a mystery.

ODF editor: ODF loses if OOXML does

03/26/2008  
Relevance: 7.97
The editor of the Open Document Format (ODF) standard has written a letter that strongly supports recognizing Microsoft's Open Office XML (OOXML) file format as a standard, arguing that if it fails, ODF will suffer. As the editor of OpenDocument, I want to promote OpenDocument, extol its features, urge the widest use of it as possible, none of which is accomplished by the anti-OpenXML position in ISO," Patrick Durusau wrote."The bottom line is that OpenDocument, among others, will lose if OpenXML loses. ... Passage of OpenXML in ISO is going to benefit OpenDocument as much as anyone else."[More FUD from Patrick. How did he become an ODF editor? - Sander]

Putting the OpenDocument Foundation to Bed (without its supper)

11/10/2007  
Relevance: 7.00
Earlier this week the tech press was abuzz with the news that the OpenDocument Foundation had abandoned ODF for CDF, a W3C specification-in-process that few had ever heard of, and no one seemed to know much about (Microsoft was understandably pleased). To find out the facts, I interviewed Chris Lilley, the W3C lead for the CDF project, and his answer couldn't have been more clear:"The one thing I'd really want your readers to know is that CDF was not created to be, and isn't suitable for use as, an office format."

Relevance: 7.00
Rob Weir of IBM has just posted a lengthy reply to concerns raised by Marbux and Gary Edwards (OpenDocument Foundation). There is so much to be said to not only complement but also correct Rob's assessment, but here we shall only refer to the parts which are associated with Novell and the other relationships Microsoft has formed in order to combat ODF adoption and make ODF a second-class citizen.

Why the ODF Shuttered its Doors

11/28/2007  
Relevance: 6.95
Did the OpenDocument Foundation recently shutter its doors for good because it was unable to convince Oasis to support its converter, known as Da Vinci? Or was it because OpenDocument Format was simply not designed for the conversion of Microsoft Office documents, applications, and processes? The debate on these issues continues two weeks after foundation members confirmed the organization had shut down.
