[CS-FSLUG] The Microsoft-Stacked SC 34 Committee Makes a Move

[Fred A. Miller]

I gather the hope is, if the takeover were to succeed, that SC 34 would
get to maintain ODF as well as Microsoft's competing parody "standard,"
OOXML. How totally smooth and shark-like. Under the guise of
"synchronised maintenance", without which they claim SC 34 can't fulfill
its responsibilities, they get control of everything. So utterly
Microsoft. Microsoft yearns for interoperability, it seems. More like
yearning for ODF's air supply to be ... well, you know. Microsoft never
seems to change, does it? Yoo hoo! EU Commission! Are you watching? You
can read all the public resolutions of the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 Plenary
Meeting, 2008-10-01, held in Jeju, Republic of Korea. It will either
make you laugh or throw up. I did both. Sequentially.
