The most enthusiastic "booth being" at the show was
OpenOffice.org's Louis Suarez-Potts. He was practically jumping
up and down as he talked to me about the importance of open
standards and how we should go about deciding what becomes a
standard. It takes time, he said, and it should take time because
standards absolutely must be vendor-neutral and
platform-agnostic. He said vendor consortiums will help
streamline open standards support, and he believes open source
licenses need to be streamlined and simplified if open source is
to dominate the playing field.
The open standards platform has a long way to go in terms of
overall industry awareness, if my informal survey was any
indicator. I queried booths in the .org pavilion and in the
"corporate sector" about the importance of open standards, and
with the exception of OpenOffice.org, I got blank stares and
stuttering.

can't help but take notice.
