    Greetings!
    
    Hopefully not too much "off topic" but I thought TC members might like 
    to know that ODF has been chosen as the target preservation format by 
    the National Archives of Australia for documents.
    
    They have an open source project that has produced software for others 
    to use in converting files.
    
    See: http://xena.sourceforge.net
    
    I took that to be a bright spot of news.
    
    Hope everyone is having a great day!
    
    Patrick
    
    PS: The project addresses the preservation of a number of other formats 
    as well.
