Re: GNOME Foundation Statement on ECMA TC45-M Participation

Hi,

Funny then, that even after nothing being done by GNOME on TC45 since
July (previous to OOXML vote on September 2) ECMA is still claiming
GNOME participates in the disposition of comments:

http://www.ecma-international.org/news/TC45_current_work/First%20group%20of%20662%20proposed%20dispositions%20of%20comments%20posted.htm

Yes, the language is deceptive. Careful readers will notice they don't
plainly say it, rather they insinuate it. It's one of the main tactics
of lying with the truth.

Since the Foundation clearly wouldn't lie about not doing anything since
July, here's more evidence of people abusing the role of GNOME Foundation
on ECMA's TC45.

The more you guys keep playing the neutral game, the more you'll get
abused like this. Don't cry about people who criticize the Foundation's
"unconditional support" for OOXML, you're pointing guns at your own feet
(and in fact just took another shot).
