Security Expert Dan Geer's Letter to MA Senator Pacheco Re ODF (Groklaw)
Groklaw looks
at security reasons to use OpenDocument format. "Here is a
letter that security professional Dan Geer has just sent to Massachusetts
Senator Marc Pacheco, and he tells me he sent similar letters to Secretary
of the Commonwealth Francis Galvin and Senate President Robert
Travaligni. He warns them that the Commonwealth needs to mitigate its risk
by avoiding a computing monoculture. If a private company received such a
letter, I assure you that their lawyers would take it very seriously, as it
would put them on notice, actual notice. Dr. Geer strongly supports
OpenDocument Format, as you will see, and his reasons include concern about
security issues."
