Spy der Mann's Journal: OpenDocument Format NOT in danger after all

Rob Weir did Slashdot a great favor by exposing the cracks in the OpenDocument Foundation. The Foundation's statement to abandon ODF sounded like a tragedy for the ODF Format, but in the end it turned out to be just FUD - why? Because the Foundation just happens to be completely isolated from the ODF community. From Rob's blog:

The "OpenDocument Foundation" sounds so official. Although it has no official role in the ODF standard, this name opens doors. The ODF Alliance , the ODF Fellowship, the OASIS ODF TC, ODF Adoption TC (and many other groups without "ODF" in their name) have done far more to promote and improve ODF, yet the OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. seems to score the panel invites. Not bad for two guys without a garage.

In other words, this means that no matter what Gary Edwards or anyone from the "OpenDocument Foundation" says, ODF will NOT be abandoned by either the industry or the community. ODF is NOT in danger. Just relax, take a deep breath, it was just a bad Halloween scare.

Yet another "Open-CE" ....

What does "Open" mean? Absolutely nothing say-it-again, "Open-Caveat Emptor" (Open-CE).

[Caveat Emptor, Buyer Beware]

Open Obfuscation Source (OOS) fraud, regretfully it is no more criminal than televangelists, POTUS, Limbaugh, Stewart ... Plutocracy Hypocrisy Dogma (PHD) (like creationism, draco-economics ...). All the Piled High and Deep (PHD) bullshit sounds good to dogma-literates, and makes for sound profitable global exploitation politics. Politics, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing say-it-again .
