Celebrating 20 Years of the OASIS Open Document Format

The Document
Foundation is celebrating
the 20th anniversary of the ratification of the Open Document Format
(ODF) as an OASIS
standard.

Two decades after its approval in 2005, ODF is the only open
standard for office documents, promoting digital independence,
interoperability and content transparency worldwide.

To celebrate this milestone, from today The Document Foundation
will be publishing a series of presentations and documents on its blog
that illustrate the unique features of ODF, tracing its history from
the development and standardisation process through the activities of
the Technical Committee for the submission of version 1.3 to ISO and
the standardisation of version 1.4.
