Interoperability Conference: Adobe, Microsoft and the Italian OpenOffice.org community meet up again at OMAT
OMAT conference, a landmark in Italy in electronic document, content and corporate process management will be held in Rome this year, on the 12-13 of November.
On the second day will be held the “Standards and Interoperability“.
For the second time Adobe, Microsoft and members of the OpenOffice.org community will be sitting at the same round table to constructively talk about how to better satisfy users’ needs, bringing some ideas and hopefully future actions.
The conference is a follow up of the previous edition, held just when OpenXML was approved by ISO. I will talk about the importance of being called an open standard, putting it in perspective also with the evolution of standards.

It was shoved down its throat, it was not approved. It was a corrupt affair.

Maybe the OO community could ask Microsoft to list the patent numbers covering the ECMA376 specification? They were never forced to do it during the ISO scandal, so it would be good to have the list.
