OpenDocument Voted In By ISO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

cduffy writes "OpenDocument has been voted in as ISO/IEC 26300, with no dissenting votes and a small number of abstentions. There are still several formalities to take place before final issuance. Now the question: Will OpenXML get the same treatment, despite its technical weaknesses? There's also coverage on Groklaw."

    There is a lot of hype in the news about chaos theory, but as an applied mathematician I don't see many applications of it.

    Maybe mathematicians don't use it, but I use it daily, from the filing of my papers on my desk to the files in my $HOME, chaos is everywhere !
