There is rumored to be turnover of key staff at the vendor currently being
petitioned for OpenDoccument support:
http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Key_executive_resigns_from_Microsoft/0,2000061733,39219076,00.htm
The last paragraph says:
"It's rumoured that a lead developer of Microsoft
Office, Don Gagne, plans to leave the company in
December, according to the Mini-Microsoft blog.
Microsoft representatives would not immediately confirm
Gagne's resignation, and Gagne did not respond to
inquiries about it."
His departure, if actual, would probably affect that company's ability to
go forward technically with his department's products. That would
indirectly affect both support for OpenDocument and the barganing position
in political activities like in Massachussetts, Peru, and other places.
