ISO/IEC 29500 (Office Open Xml) standard officially published

The ISO has announced the publication of the ISO/IEC 29500 (Office Open Xml) standard. This is great!!! I've been working with this standard for a while and I'm really excited about the opportunities that both, software developer and software consumers companies, have by using this standard for our document automation and document management purposes. Read the official note from ISO here. You can also check this post from Eric White and this one from Dough Mahug for more information.
