More US States Mull OpenDocument Move

Minnesota and Texas may become the next US states to adopt the OpenDocument Format as the required standard for their agencies, thanks to two state bills currently up for vote. The Minnesota Preservation of State Documents Act, if passed, would require that all documents ‘including text, spreadsheets and presentations’ of the state be created in ODF. The XML-based document format is a rival to Microsoft’s Office technology.
