Clarification about ASF and OOXML
In case anybody misunderstood my blog entry “Let’s be clear: The Apache Software Foundation does NOT support OOXML“, I did not mean to imply that the ASF has any official position one way or another regarding OOXML.
My point was simply that Microsoft is misleading people in claiming OOXML support from basic XML tools and their parent organizations.
I don’t think anybody who actually read my entry could read it otherwise but I respect the sensitivity of some ASF people on the matter.

About
I am responsible for overseeing the coordination of IBM global open standards program and leading IBM open source and standards program in the emerging markets.
I have been working on open standards for over 10 years, both as a staff member of standards development organizations (SDO) such as W3C and as a representative for IBM. I have been involved in every aspect of the standards development process. This includes the technical, strategic, political, and legal aspects, both internal and external to an SDO and to a company like IBM. I was involved in the development of standards such as HTML and XML.
I have also been involved in open source projects, such as Xerces, the XML parser developed by the Apache Software Foundation for which I was one of the lead architects.
