The Future Is Open: What OpenDocument Is And Why You Should Care ~ by

Groklaw looks at
the OpenDocument format. "I asked Daniel Carrera, an
OpenOffice.org volunteer, if he'd please explain to us the OpenDocument
format. How does a format get chosen? And is OpenDocument on the list
when governments like the State of Massachusetts make up such lists of
acceptable formats for governmental use? If not, what can be done to
change that? He graciously agreed. Because we are all concerned about
proprietary formats and standards, and more and more governments are
adopting policies requiring open standards, it's a very important
subject."
