On Monday, Jul 2nd 2007 at 15:26 -0400, quoth Andy Oram:

=>Massachusetts has just backpedaled on its support for open standards, 
=>and announced it will accept documents in Microsoft's OOXML:
=>
=>http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/07/how_a_standard_can_kill_a_stan.html
=>
=>I hope this posting will be seen as relevant to the Perl Mongers list, a 
=>group committed to a particular open source system.
=>
=>The state needs to hear from constituents by July 20.
=>
=>A good summary of the non-open status of OOXML is here:
=>
=>http://fussnotes.typepad.com/plexnex/2007/06/achieving_openn.html
=>
=>I'm sure Microsoft has a rebuttal, but I don't believe they've responded 
=>to this particular document.

Ok. I give up. How do we send a message to the Committee?
