The year 2008 was a great year for ODF. The ODF Alliance has published their 2008 Annual Report<\/a> [PDF] which is well-worth reading, especially for its coverage of ODF adoption.

It was a good year in OASIS as well, for ODF. The ODF TC<\/a>, which I co-chair, created a new Subcommittee to investigate ODF-Next requirements<\/a>, and we created a new OASIS TC, to join with the existing ODF TC and ODF Adoption TC<\/a>, to work on “Interoperability and Conformance<\/a>“.
