a to ze skupina zodpovedna aj za ISO26300 ma o 2-5.12.2006 stretnutie a pokial viem, tak standardy, ktore scchvali skupina (ODF schvalila 3.5.2006) idu na schvalenie vlanemu zhromazdeniu ISO a po schjvalen (faza 60.00) ju publikuje vybor na svojom najblizsom zasadeni

A ak teda bude o par dni zakazane konkurovat ODF je to prinos pre OSS komunitu

Nesmie to byt jazyk podobny C++ a s rovnakym postupom pri vytvarani spustatelneho suboru- java to ma inak a ak aj splnas toto, nesmies ho na trh presadzovat takym sposobom aby si narusil poziciu standardu a to hlavne definovanim neoficilaneho standardu

ak staci nepriamy dokaz tak je tu
he EU only recognises standards published by international bodies such as the ISO and the IEC.

Third, and most troubling of all, is that the Commission must remain neutral between competing international standards.

Ha, ha pěkný flame - viz Vámi citovaný článek...

To begin with, the legal definition of an open standard in the EU excludes those controlled by industry consortia; ODF is controlled by the OASIS consortium. The EU only recognises standards published by international bodies such as the ISO and the IEC. Whilst version 1.0 of the ODF was accepted as an ISO standard in May 2006, subsequent versions need to be resubmitted, and it is unlikely that this will happen again until the release of version 1.2 in 2008. The second problem is that the intellectual property models of European standardisation bodies and key players usually include RAND, which makes them incompatible with the stipulations of the EIF.

Third, and most troubling of all, is that the Commission must remain neutral between competing international standards. Whilst member states and EU bodies can certainly discriminate between such standards, the EU itself cannot embed such a decision in a European requirement to use, for example, ODF rather than Microsoft's OOXML. The background of this neutrality is fair competition, which is found in directive 98/34. This directive may be revised, since this is such a hot topic at the moment, so there is room to overcome this barrier to ODF becoming the official format of the EU.

To summarise the labyrinthine complexity of this, the EU is currently moving toward the standardisation of document formats, and internally many EU bodies and member states prefer ODF. But the EU is unable to require the use of ODF across the board.
