The Linux Foundation on OOXML

The Linux Foundation has sent out a press release giving its position on the upcoming vote on the adoption of Microsoft's OOXML format as an ISO/IEC standard. "For all these reasons and more, the Linux Foundation calls upon those National Bodies that have not yet cast their votes to vote 'No, with comments.' Those comments should reflect their best, neutral, technical judgment, based upon OOXML in its current form. Only by doing so, we believe, can both the future availability of documents, but the integrity of the standard setting process be assured."
