The GNOME Foundation on OOXML

Rather belatedly, the GNOME Foundation has sent out a statement regarding its participation in the OOXML standardization process. "We are deeply concerned that abuse of the standards process is eroding public trust in the value and independence of international standards. Both ODF and OOXML are very heavily influenced by their implementation heritage, neither are likely to deliver the 'one true office format', and both communities have - in their own way - played a role in this erosion of trust."
