 Durban 2 conference in Geneva&lt;/a&gt; makes me think of a bizarre mashup of 
the first Durban conference and what I experienced at the OOXML BRM. On the one 
side you have outrageous antisemitic accusations going unpunished, dangerous 
sophistry enforcing the preeminence of religious fundamentalists over 
freethinkers, while on the other side, you have members of international 
organisations who claim everything is fine and is working out just fine. What 
would Alex Brown do?&lt;/li&gt;

        <description>&lt;p&gt;Les journées du libre s'avancent à grands 
pas&amp;nbsp;! Le vendredi 8 et le samedi 9 Mai seront dédiées pour moi à 
ces journées. C'est au même endroit que l'an passé à Saint Gilles, à la 
Maison des cultures. Le vendredi est une journée consacrée aux professionnels 
alors que le samedi est plus grand public. Il y a des stands, des conférences, 
des ateliers (inscription requise), une présentation du LPI et une très bonne 
ambiance assurée :-)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

-&lt;li&gt;IBM votes for OOXML at the ANSI (the U.S. standards body) and the 
Microsoft-sponsored mob &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://idippedut.dk/post/2009/04/16/IBM-Thumbs-up-for-OOXML!.aspx&quot;&gt;rejoices&lt;/a&gt;.
 The problem? Despite what it seems, the rules of the particular TC at the ANSI 
&lt;em&gt;did not allow members to go against a previous ISO vote on the 
standard. &lt;/em&gt;In short, Jesper &amp;amp; Co are dancing over the body of 
a dead horse, or rather, continue to behave like some analysts who claim that 
Bernie Madoff&amp;#8217;s business has a great future. Is OOXML a 
standardisation ponzi scheme? I think it is.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.oracle.com/sun/index.html&quot;&gt;Oracle buys 
Sun&lt;/a&gt;. That is going to shuffle the cards a lot, and maybe ruffle some 
feathers. In any case, the competitive landscape is going to be changed for 
ever. What does it mean for OpenOffice.org? I really don&amp;#8217;t know, and 
not much can be said &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10012613o-2000331761b,00.htm&quot;&gt;beyond
 the formal answer&lt;/a&gt;. Browsing through the different FAQs and press 
releases though makes me think that 1) ODF will be supported and carried 
forward 2) Although not a real open source player, Oracle takes open standards 
at heart. Stay tuned, it&amp;#8217;s going to be interesting.&lt;/li&gt;
