Seems that quite a few countries has been quite a circus and among other an article at
Groklaw has some interesting reading about Germany.
I fully agree that it's of interest for OS2 users; just that when we posted last time about OOXML I got couple of e-mails where they thought that it was off topic.
I really hope that other countries that haven't voted takes interest of what has happened lately in German and now Sweden. I think that way that SIS has managed this question is totally absurd - but then again what can they do now - SIS where fast enough to send out a press release the same evening that Sweden would vote yes. SIS won't admit to that they have done anything wrong and have already today been forced to say in media that they have followed the protocol.
But what is really interesting about SIS own argument that everything has been done by the book; then my question to Olle Axenborg (Press Manager) at SIS really simple - Why do we need SIS and what good arethey if it's all about gathering the votes when the final vote take place? Why spend 3 month on preparing material for the final vote when this isn't used after all?
