The basic idea is to award certifications to organizations that contribute or lead FOSS projects. Several types of certification exist, but in this article I discuss the specifics of what is probably the first comprehensive FOSS certification to date for companies.</li> -<li>Some people do not seem to be happy with Microsoft Office&#8217;s implementation of ODF. Check out the <a href="http://www.odfalliance.org/blog/index.php/site/microsofts_odf_support_falls_short/">ODF Alliance blog</a>.

It&#8217;s actually quite interesting because what Jeremy is saying is that all this dispute seems to be based on the impression that Microsoft did the minimum to have ODF work inside MS Office. My take on this is we should first stop getting ballistic at each other, especially inside the ODF TC. What is needed in the interest of ODF and the users, is to have a careful examination not on the ODF conformance in MS Office, but on why, based on experience, the interoperability is severely hampered when using ODF with MS Office. Based on this analysis we should be able to go forward.
