The Swedish FFII have an article about it: http://ffii.se/pr/2007-08-27-se-ooxml-vote.html (Swedish) http://ffii.se/pr/2007-08-27-se-ooxml-vote-en.html (English, partial translation) | In meeting at SIS yesterday on the standardisation of Microsoft's OOXML file | format (i.e. in principle the file format used in Office 2007) 23 new | companies suddenly appeared that had not previously participated in the | working group, a majority of these companies are Microsoft partners (see | enclosed). | From a clear NO-majority among the members, the result in the course of just | one day became a YES. The final result was 25 in favour, 6 against; 4 | members left the meeting." There's a lot more information on the blog linked from those pages. -- Matt Blissett
