    Subject: Essay explaining why OpenDocument really is open - comments appreciated.


    At today's TC, Gary Edwards noted that there have been
    some claims that the OpenDocument TC is essentially completely
    controlled by a single vendor.  I've looked at the evidence, and
    had the opportunity to see the TC's working first-hand, and I
    think this charge is bunk.  But others might take it seriously.
    
    Thus, I've created a short essay explaining why I believe
    the OpenDocument TC is NOT controlled by any one vendor:

    If you get a chance, please let me know of mistakes or issues.
    I intend to submit this somewhere like Groklaw very soon.
