[odf-discuss] Gnome, Ecma, and what governments (and FOSS?) should have done

[Pamela Jones]

Here's the discussion in Portugal, where Novell was used to demonstrate 
others use OOXML:

BACK FROM THE BREAK:

MSD: Speaking list is now: MJM, JM, JPM, SM

MJM: Is OOXML proposed by only one company, namely Microsoft?

SM: Refuses [denies], it's proposed by ECMA, with lots of companies,
