  • Soured Relationships



    "What's happened is that there's just not a lot of interest in their approach, and that has resulted in a lot of souring of relationships on the part of the OpenDocument Foundation folks," Douglas Johnson, standards manager at Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: JAVA) Latest News about Sun Microsystems, told LinuxInsider.


    The about-face in support should not have a significant effect on the move toward open standards, Johnson added.


    The OpenDocument Foundation's decision to support CDF, however, is puzzling, Johnson said.

    "It doesn't seem like a good fit," he explained. "It's not designed for this, so I'm perplexed at their desire to go in that direction."
