Default European IT authorities want better OOXML in Libre/OpenOffice

From http://h-online.com/-1395595

IT authorities from Germany and Switzerland have announced that they are working together, under the auspices of the Open Source Business Alliance, to improve the way that LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org display and process OOXML-formatted documents. The authorities involved include the IT groups from the cities of Munich, Jena and Freiburg im Breisgau, the Swiss canton of Waadt, the Swiss Federal Court and the Schweizer Informatikstrategie Bund (Swiss IT Federation) whose representatives met at a workshop in Zurich in October to launch the "Precise reproduction of OOXML documents in Open Source Office applications" project.

OOXML is the ISO standard for office documents that is predominantly supported by Microsoft; OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice's main document format is the ISO-standardised ODF.
