Australian Symposium on ECMA-376 - December 14th

Submitted by carl on November 27, 2007 - 22:28.

Nice to see our Australian cousins getting up to speed on this one. The Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre is hosting a symposium to which Standards Australia and a number of other luminaries are invited to. I believe one of the invitees represented NZOSS in the New Zealand equivalent event a few months ago. Should be an interesting discussion even though the registration for the ISO BRM will have closed by then...

Pia Waugh is also asking for help to find some documents on her blog. Hopefully someone will be able to provide the information she needs.

And yes, I still choke on associating the word 'open' with this attempt to legitimise a proprietary vendor format as an International Standard that even the proposer won't commit to. The process being used to ram this through may be 'correct' within the ISO committee rules but that doesn't make it right.

We have an opportunity to get this mess sorted to the mutual benefit of everyone concerned. Let's make sure that it is.
