This week,
Google joined an
ODF Alliance organization promoting the
OpenDocument standard, which allows you to open documents no matter which application they are in.
“Google is an important player, and its entry will give the alliance a huge acceleration. This underlines the depth and growing support of ODF, ”said Marino Marcic, managing director of ODF, in an interview with
ZDNet .
The organization OpenDocument Format Alliance includes more than 150 companies, organizations and academic institutions. The Alliance was created to solve the problem of inaccessibility of files for users of applications other than those in which these documents were created.
