Congratulations to TC members for reaching the next (and penultimate) milestone for OASIS ODF 1.2 ! From the new metadata framework, to accessibility improvements, to OpenFormula to the massive editorial task of making the spec ISO-comformant, this much-awaited revision of Open Document Format already has high adoption rate today. I hope this presages even greater success once it is finally approved and published. Everyone, enjoy the weekend, then back to ODF 1.3 proposals! -Rob ----- Forwarded by Robert Weir/Cambridge/IBM on 06/24/2011 11:10 AM ----- Robin Cover <
