2007-09-04 13:55  Dumbing Down OpenXML Quandry
Unless you ve been under a rock you are aware of Microsoft s attempts to certify their Open XML implementation as an ISO standard. On the face of it, its hard to understand why this issue could raise so many conversations and threads over the web so allow me to dumb down the case for you and explain what all the acronyms stand for. Most people know what BBB in USA is and what it claims to be. BBB or Better Business Bureau claims to be an organization that rewards and punishes businesses based on …

2007-08-17 10:29  Ubuntu Chief: Microsoft Invests Big $ On OpenXML Standards Effort
Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth is on a personal mission to crush Microsoft s Open XML standards effort. On his blog Tuesday, the Canonical executive and Ubuntu developer encouraged members of the global open source community to reach out to their respective International Standards Organization (ANSI in the U.S.) and push for a single document format standard: OpenDocument Format (ODF). He said South Africa and the United States have stated that they will vote against a second standard, the dea …

2007-08-14 10:35  Emerging consensus in favour of a unified document format standard
It's too early to say for certain, but there are very encouraging signs that the world's standards bodies will vote in favour of a single unified ISO ("International Standards Organisation") document format standard. There is already one document format standard - ODF, and currently the ISO is considering a proposal to bless an alternative, Microsoft's OpenXML, as another standard. In the latest developments, standards committees in South Africa and the United States have both said they will vot …

2007-07-31 20:11  Strawman Central
As I was reading this morning Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation I was pointed to about Groklaw's latest attempt to defy gravity. As it is becoming common in some circles, some folks like to be purer than the virgin Mary. Groklaw has been for a while expanding into new levels of fundamentalism. The ends justify the means and all that: That, to me, wasn't the news, since a Microsoft license was submitted once before, although I gather not by the company. But what I'm …

2007-07-24 17:34  Much ado about nothing
Jason Matusow and I were sat next to each other at a meeting at the end of last week. I was laughing at some of the comments he was receiving on his blog in response to a post he made about the " Open XML - US V1 Committee Vote and IBM Motivations " - especially after he'd gone to the trouble of issuing guidance on how to insult him. Then someone called Harley McGrew sends a link to a croklaw post about a meeting in Portugal that I attended, and requests that I take a break from my "rabid pro-cl …

2007-07-13 02:21  Spreadsheet formula bugs
I saw this blog post from Rob Wier the other day, and I thought it would be worth drilling into a bit more. While Rob tends to have a flare for the dramatics he does point out a couple of good bugs in the formulas piece of the Open XML spec. Rob's actually been spending a ton of time lately pouring through the spec looking for issues and representing those issue on a number of different national standards bodies. I'd like to give Rob the benefit of the doubt and assume that he's doing this in or …

Here are a few interesting links I came across this week: Open XML in Science and Nature - Murray Sargent gives another update on the discussions we've been having with the folks from Science as well as Nature. They have some really cool publishing processes, and unfortunately we're only now talking to them about how to integrate the new file formats and the new math functionality into their existing process. In the end we should see some pretty cool functionality, but it's still a bit too early …

2007-06-08 02:11  IBM's antic carrying on
A couple of interesting items prompt me to write a quick post about IBM. Jack Schofield, the Guardian 's computer editor has written a story for ComputerWeekly.com titled " Open battle will boost compatibility " that discusses Microsoft's recent  vote to add ODF 1.0 to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) list, and contrasts that approach with IBM's negative behaviour regarding Ecma-376 OpenXML. Jack comments: "But you still have to wonder why IBM, which usually puts a lot of effort …
