David Coursey's Massachusetts FUD (Groklaw) [LWN.net]

Groklaw looks at the resignation of Peter Quinn, the man who spearheaded the adoption of Open Document Format in Massachusetts. "[E]verything I am hearing is that Massachusetts is firm in its decision to go with OpenDocument Format. If Microsoft can meet the Commonwealth's definition of openness, ha ha, they can qualify too, but that has always been the case. It was only Microsoft's intransigence that had them out in the cold, their refusal to support ODF, for reasons that make no sense to anyone, that shut them out. Now they're trying a workaround, and we'll see how that works out for them, but the ODF decision is firm."
