May I ask what is the ending time of the meet?Or is it when quorum is reduced to a sufficiently small number?
Regards, Easwar

Till the experiments and discussions go on. If short on time you can come for installation of ubuntu which should happen in short span of an hour or two. And if you're worried about your studies, get your books along :p

There is a canteen in HBCSE where lunch is available. If everything goes well we may finish by lunch time or else after that.

If Dr. Nagarjun is available tomorrow, could he enlighten us on the "OOXML vs ODF fight". Not the fight exactly but the implications..

I'm very eager to know about this.....What exctly going on. and what we can do to support it.
First, stop using closed data formats. Use Open Document fornats for Writer, Spreadsheet and Presentation. Send your files as pdf to those who use closed softwares.

the problem is that ISO now says that OOXML is an (open?) standard

links? you *are* on planet earth aren't you? Anyway, if you are just visiting, the International Standards Organisation on this planet has just blessed OOXML as *the* open standard.

So there must be some link to this information that OOXML is an 'open' format, somewhere on planet earth?
This is what the ISO site says.
http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1123 There is no mention of it being an open format.
Now this is the ISO page for ODF.
http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1004
This is what it says for the Open Document Format.
"Organizations and individuals that store their data in the open format avoid being locked in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendor_lock-in to a single software vendor, leaving them free to switch software if their current vendor goes out-of-business, raises its prices, changes its software, or alters its licensing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_license terms."
So just go on using the ODF formats. Forget OOXML.

not yet. ISO has approved setting up a commitiee for reconciling the differences between the various factions and resolving technical issues.
Further it will be on RAND terms which means that arbit conditions will be imposed on all.
Most of the standards organisations are nothing but menagerie of companies creating their own cesspools. You cant get the specs of many critical standards. If you do you will find it filled with patent bombs, reading it once will bar you for life from implementing that spec.
This balkanisation has been on for quite some time and is becoming visible only now as connectivity starts creeping into everything.
You would be paying a good 30% of the cost to patents. In the pc, $5 for bios $5 for ddr $? for vgabios (which u use on linux only to view the boot messages) $?? for 2d and 3d algos implemented in the graphics
and proly the same amount for all the gizmos in your life.

Dear List
This wikipedia article says that "OOXML" is an open standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML
Is that so?
