			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Não é que eu não gosto exatamente do Windows. Acho ele até bem arquitetado, visualmente bonito e tem uma ótima estrutura para drivers, extensibilidade e plugins. Até uso ele bem.</p>
<p>Meu problema com o Windows é o que ele faz com a cabeça dos desenvolvedores de sistemas e por conseqüência dos usuários. O Vista, por exemplo, está sendo odiado pelos usuários primeiro porque — é normal — ainda não atingiu a maturidade e estabilidade familiares do XP. Segundo, porque introduziu uma ênfase em segurança que nós pingüins gostamos e achamos necessária, mas que os velhos XPs e W9#s não fazem a menor idéia do que se trata. Acham estranho o sistema pedir permissão para tudo.</p>
<p>O Windows parece afastar a mente dos desenvolvedores e usuários de boas práticas de uso de sistemas.</p>
<p>Exemplo: estamos avaliando um sistema de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signage" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">Digital Signage</a> (o uso de PCs e TVs ao invés de placas de sinalização) e toda comunicação entre clientes e servidores é por IP. <strong>DNS não é usado</strong>. E engraçado que o sistema tem uns diálogos para cadastro desses IPs e nomes de máquinas, mas que não é seu hostname. Reinvenção da roda, prática ruim.</p>
<p>Quando um desenvolvedor Linux iria abrir mão de DNS ?!</p>
<p>Outro excelente exemplo é quando dizem que Windows é menos seguro. Balela. O que na verdade acontece é que sysadmins Windows tem menos noção de segurança porque aprenderam as coisas apertando botões, enquanto um sysadmin Linux precisou desenvolver um aprendizado mais teórico e profundo. <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2005/12/quer-seguranca-organize-se.html" >Problemas de segurança são sempre de responsabilidade das pessoas e nunca de sistemas</a>.</p>
<p>Um grande abraço para os bons sysadmins do mundo a fora. De Windows e de Linux.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aqui na IBM um funcionário troca de laptop mais ou menos a cada 4 anos. <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/11/new-laptop.html" >Minha última troca foi em novembro e recebi um ThinkPad T61 com CPU dual core, 2GB RAM e 120GB em disco. Uma maravilha de máquina.</a></p>
<p>Em termos de software, o computador já veio com Windows XP Pro, Lotus Notes, MS Word+Excel+PowerPoint 2002 e outros softwares que funcionários usam no dia-a-dia. O funcionário pode optar por instalar Linux, reparticionando ou não, com suporte interno. Pode também instalar aplicativos pré-homologados e pré-customizados de um repositório interno que chamamos de ISSI.</p>
<p><img style="float: right" title="Symphony logo" src="http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/theme/images/PE_icon.gif" alt="Symphony logo" width="96" height="107" align="right" />O <a href="http://www-306.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/notes/?OpenDocument&amp;cwesite=notes" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www-306.ibm.com');">Lotus Notes</a> que usamos agora é a 8.0.1, que inclui o Symphony, suite de escritório baseado no OpenOffice.org e que nativamente lê e grava documentos no formato ODF (textos, planilhas e apresentações).</p>
<p>Semana passada recebemos um comunicado interno dizendo que novos computadores não terão mais o MS Office instalado. Caso o funcionário precise, terá que justificar e disparar um pedido de compra.</p>
<p>O Symphony é agora a suite de escritório oficial interna na IBM, globalmente. Significa também que o formato padrão de documentos é o ODF e formatos antigos como DOC, XLS são suportados como legado.</p>
<p>Por enquanto acredito que muitas pessoas vão justificar a compra do MS Office mas sempre serão a exceção. Como ODF é o porto seguro de formato que todo funcionário consegue abrir, o MSO será usado somente em casos especiais.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Agências de Publicidade ou de Marketing são 100% digitais hoje em dia. Geram conteúdo digital em forma de videos, animações, documentos, imagens etc. Às vezes preciso interagir com essas agências e é importante que todo seu potencial criativo esteja materializado em formatos abertos para que seus clientes (nós) tenham máxima flexibilidade ao usar seus serviços.</p>
<p>Este é um guia que envio para Agências de Publicidade, a fim de entregarem produtos em bons formatos. Cor <span style="color: #339966;">verde</span> indica os bons formatos, e <span style="color: #ff0000;">vermelho</span> os banidos.</p>
<h4>Fomatos para Audio, Video e Filmes</h4>
<ul>
<li style="color: #339966;">Arquivos no formato MKV (Matroska) ou MP4 (MOV).</li>
<li style="color: #339966;">Compressão de video H.264 ou MPEG-4 AVC. MPEG-4 ASP (DivX ou Xvid) também são aceitos.</li>
<li style="color: #339966;">Compressão de audio AAC (M4A, MPEG-4) ou MP3.</li>
<li style="color: #339966;">No caso de legendas, que estejam em trilhas independentes nos arquivos MKV ou MP4. Ou como arquivos SRT separados. <span style="color: #ff0000;">Nunca sobrescritos no video.</span></li>
<li style="color: #339966;">No caso de filmes a serem embutidos em Flash Players, favor usar arquivos MP4 otimizados para streaming, contendo video comprimido em H.264 e AAC para audio. <span style="color: #ff0000;">O formato FLV é proprietário, ineficiente e considerado obsoleto hoje em dia.</span></li>
<li style="color: #ff0000;">Formatos proprietarios como WMA, WMV, ASF, AVI não serão aceitos por permitirem pouca flexibilidade.</li>
<li style="color: #ff0000;">Formatos como MPEG (.mpg) são considerados obsoletos em favor do <span style="color: #339966;">conjunto MPEG-4</span>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Imagens e Arte Gráfica Estática</h4>
<ul>
<li style="color: #339966;">PNG para imagens geradas por computador.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dia chato o de hoje. Desceram aqui com um <a href="http://www.apple.com/br/macmini/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.apple.com');">Mac Mini</a> novinho na caixa pedindo para que eu dê uma olhada, testar outros sistemas operacionais, ver como é que é.</p>
<p><img style="float: right" title="Mac Mini" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/Mac_mini_Intel_Core.jpg" alt="Mac Mini" width="260" height="187" /></p>
<p>É a primeira vez que experimento um Mac na minha mesa, com tempo. Antes, só de amigos ou em lojas.</p>
<p>Claro, a primeira coisa que fui atrás foi o terminal, o Bash, para me sentir em casa. O &#8216;uname&#8217; retorna Darwin 9.0 ou algo do genero.</p>
<p>Há utilitários simplésimos no Mac OS para reparticionar a quente, e lá vou eu mandando Linux, depois Windows e depois veremos.</p>
<p>Em termos de hardware a maior diferença que se nota é a ausência de BIOS. Há a tal da <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Firmware_Interface" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">EFI</a> que ainda não investiguei a fundo. Meu único contato com ela até agora foi o boot depois do reparticionamento. Mostra uma tela gráfica com ícones enormes representando as partições e CDs detectados para se inicializar.</p>
<p>O Mac OS é bem bonito, cheio de animações. O menu constante fora da janela é um pouco intrigante no começo, mas depois passa a ser interessante. Fechar uma janela só faz ela desaparecer da sua frente, mas o aplicativo continua em execução.</p>
<p>A interface do Mac OS definitivamente serviu de inspiração para o Gnome, enquanto o Windows foi a base para o KDE. Hoje em dia, em termos de aplicativos e jeitão, percebo muitas coisas em comum entre o Mac, o Linux em geral e o Windows Vista.</p>
<p>Na caixa veio também um controle remoto pequeno que funciona em conjunto com uma aplicação chamada <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Row_(software)" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">Front Row</a> que é similar a <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.mythtv.org');">MythTV</a> ou Media Center.</p>
<p>So far so good.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hoje recebi o seguinte e-mail da ABNT:</p>
<blockquote><p>De: Milena Pires<br />
Assunto: Formal Appeal</p>
<p>Prezados Membros,</p>
<p>Por solicitação do Diretor de Normalização, Sr. Eugenio Guilherme Tolstoy De Simone, informamos que, após a análise dos comentários dos Srs. Murilo Dantas e Deivi Lopes, a ABNT decidiu solicitar à ISO o cancelamento de todo o processo de elaboração da ISO/IEC DIS 29500 e seu retorno como um novo item de trabalho (NWIP) seguindo o processo normal de elaboração (sem Fast-Track) no âmbito do ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC34.<br />
Atenciosamente,</p>
<p>Milena Beguito Pires</p>
<p>Gerência do Processo de Normalização<br />
ABNT/RJ - Av. Treze de Maio, 13 – 28º Andar<br />
20031–901 – Rio de Janeiro – RJ</p></blockquote>
<p>Significa que além de o Brasil ter <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/08/ooxml-brazil-says-no.html" >votado NÃO</a> em <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2008/03/ooxml-brazil-says-no-again.html" >todo o processo</a> de normalização do ISO/IEC DIS 29500 (mais conhecido como padronização do OOXML), tivemos também coragem de peitar a ISO e pedir o cancelamento de todo o processo por irregularidades que foram <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2008/06/ooxml-in-the-limbo.html" >documentadas e enviadas a ISO semanas atrás</a>.</p>
<p>Pelo que ouvi falar, isso nunca aconteceu antes em um processo Fast Track. Nunca inclusive houve uma apelação de nenhum país após um BRM antes do OOXML. Mas quatro países apelaram nesse caso.</p>
<p>Nunca antes também os processos da ISO foram tão expostos a níveis populares. Foi preciso um desejo de padronização de algo (o OOXML no caso) que tem enormes impactos populares, sociais, tecnológicos, e financeiros para expor esses processos (e a forma como são tocados) para que o mundo perceba como eles podem ser falhos e sucetíveis a opiniões pessoais. Onde só deveria haver espaço para posições independentes, tecnicamente fundamentadas.</p>
<p>O OOXML virando padrão ISO ou não (pelo andar da carruagem, não vai virar), o mundo aprendeu uma lição: a ISO precisa mudar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Notícias como as do <a href="http://www.convergenciadigital.com.br/cgi/cgilua.exe/sys/start.htm?infoid=14358&amp;sid=52" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.convergenciadigital.com.br');">Banco do Brasil migrando seus 40.000 ATMs para Linux</a> será cada vez mais freqüente.</p>
<p>Explico. Uma empresa que precisa manter uma infraestrutura de computadores largamente espalhados, deve ter uma equipe preocupada com os seguintes pontos:</p>
<ol>
<li>Obter suporte para o sistema operacional</li>
<li>Desenvolver customizações do sistema operacional</li>
<li>Desenvolver aplicações de negócio específicas que rodam nesses computadores</li>
<li>Desenvolver camadas de integração entre essas aplicações e os serviços centrais da empresa</li>
<li>Desenvolver novas funções de acordo com constantes requisições da área de negócios</li>
<li>Preparar procedimento de instalação e atualização automatizado para tudo isso</li>
<li>Testar constantemente tudo isso</li>
</ol>
<p>Com excessão do primeiro ítem, todos devem acontecer obrigatoriamente dentro da empresa — ou terceirizado para uma equipe que trabalha de forma tão integrada com a empresa que pode também ser considerada interna.</p>
<p>Para uma equipe que precisa mergulhar tão profundamente na tecnologia de um projeto como esses, adicionar o primeiro ítem em seu conjunto de responsabilidades pode até ser benéfico porque traz mais controle.</p>
<p>Então, em casos como esse, ao invés de sair no mercado em busca de suporte pago ao SO, criar inteligência interna para prover esse suporte é um passo pequeno e fácil de ser absorvido, além de reduzir custos de licenças e suporte anual.</p>
<p>Empresas deste tipo são os grandes varejistas como Casas Bahia, Pão de Açucar, Droga Raia, Lojas Marabraz, etc — todos eles casos de sucesso no uso de Linux em seus Pontos de Venda.</p>
<p>Da perspectiva de TI, grandes bancos não são muito diferentes de varejistas. São idênticos na verdade, em termos de arquiteturas e fluxo da informação.</p>
<p>Banrisul e Bando do Brasil são os pioneiros no Brasil a entrar neste caminho, e anunciam o ingresso dos outros monumentais Itaús e Bradescos e Unibancos neste domínio de ATMs e caixas rodando Linux. Simplesmente porque não faz o menor sentido técnico e financeiro usar qualquer outro sistema operacional.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ISO has a <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1136" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.iso.org');">press release</a> about the 4 countries (India, <strong>Brazil</strong>, South Africa and Venezuela) and their appeal against the OOXML standardization.</p>
<p>The important part of it is this:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to the ISO/IEC rules, a document which is the subject of an appeal <span style="text-decoration: underline;">cannot be published as an ISO/IEC International Standard while the appeal is going on</span>. Therefore, the decision to publish or not ISO/IEC DIS 29500 as an ISO/IEC International Standard cannot be taken until the outcome of the appeals is known.</p></blockquote>
<p>Which means OOXML cannot become a standard until the appeals get resolved and all countries get satisfied with the outcome.</p>
<p>In other words, OOXML is stucked in the limbo. It can&#8217;t be described, considered or even sold as an ISO standard.</p>
<p>It was sort of approved but can&#8217;t be approved. Well, the final specification text was not published yet anyways. With some luck, to technically fix OOXML can take the same amount of time as of solving the appeal.</p>
<p>Then we&#8217;ll go back to first question: does the world need tow standard ways to describe &#8220;helvetica, 12pt with red&#8221; or &#8220;a table with 3 columns and 5 rows&#8221; or even &#8220;page layout with 1.5cm margins&#8221; ?</p>
<p>As a reference, <a href="http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20080529150227123" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.consortiuminfo.org');">Brazilian appeal was published in Andy&#8217;s blog</a> and is an informative yet concise enough text to understand the technical and process issues around OOXML.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.michaeldehaan.net/?p=575#comment-1868" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.michaeldehaan.net');">A post by Michael DeHaan</a> and others inspired me to say a few words about the importance of ISO standards for developers:</p>
<p>Many developers are clamming that good specifications are more important than standards, specially now that the OOXML process opened to the public the dungeons of ISO processes and how the organization produces standards. This is a clear example on how ISO&#8217;s reputation is compromised.</p>
<p>But unfortunately <span title="pullquote">“ISO standards” are what governments tend to use</span>. These are the words they put in their Request For Proposals when they are going to buy things. These “ISO standards” are the words they use to claim how they’ll interoperate and trade across borders. And also how public institutions will interoperate with private institutions. Over time, it defines also how private institutions use technology.</p>
<p>So yes, ISO standards for Information Technology do matter from a developer standpoint because they are crucial in shaping the flow of information in the society in general.</p>
<p>Lets put it this way: <span title="pullquote">technical specifications stand for research and development team while to be an ISO standard equals to have a strong sales force. An IT product needs both to succeed</span>.</p>
<p>So you, developer, can use whatever you want or like. But if you want to interoperate with non-developer folks, you — the smartest guy in this context — will have to use what non-developers use, and they use what has a stronger marketing force as “this is an ISO standard”. This is why ISO standards (good or bad) should be in the focus of our attention.</p>
<p>Since the world already has an International Standards Organization, and since we learned it must be patched, it is our responsability — we, the developers, geeks, sysadmins etc — to be aware of and get involved with what ISO is standardizing right now and help the technical process of standardization to happen solely with technical arguments and not political interests.</p>
<p>Otherwise the future world will still be divided in two groups of developers: those that develop with/for good stuff and those that develop with/for stuff used by non-developers just because a powerful company had the strength to standardize it whatever it takes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Algumas pessoas andaram me perguntando por que a IBM não está participando do FISL 2008.</p>
<p>Percebia em seu tom de voz (ou nas linhas do Jabber/Google Talk) que na verdade perguntavam se a IBM está parando de suportar Open Source. Não está.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/articlefiles/2008/04/opencomputing.jpg" ><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-647" title="opencomputing" src="http://avi.alkalay.net/articlefiles/2008/04/opencomputing.jpg" alt="Open Computing" width="259" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>A IBM continua a suportar Linux, Open Source e Padrões Abertos de forma absolutamente central.</p>
<p>Muitos dos produtos mais estratégicos da IBM tem elementos Open Source em seu núcleo, como o Eclipse, Apache, diversas bibliotecas etc. Além do mais, Linux ocupa um papel fundamental como plataforma operacional para uma série de iniciativas de Cloud Computing, Grid, Web Services etc.</p>
<p>Linux é inclusive a plataforma sugerida, sempre que possível, na implementação de soluções em clientes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/articlefiles/2008/04/open_and_proprietary.png" ><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-648" title="open_and_proprietary" src="http://avi.alkalay.net/articlefiles/2008/04/open_and_proprietary.png" alt="Open Source versus Proprietary Software" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sem usar meu chapéu da empresa, minha opinião é que a IBM tem uma estratégia muito bem balanceada sobre como usar e integrar Open Source. Muita inovação ainda acontece no universo do software de código fonte fechado e não há porque não explorar isso comercialmente. Mas é muito claro dentro da empresa que Open Source está deixando de ser algo somente para a infraestrutura e vem avançando no middleware e níveis acima também. Isto é muito be visto como uma rota natural da indústria de software. E se por acaso a IBM demonstra uma resistência ou outra quando algum Open Source passa a concorrer diretamente com um de nossos produtos, isso é só um reflexo do instinto de preservação que em seguida abre espaço para adaptação.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-649" title="Access and Control in Standards" src="http://avi.alkalay.net/articlefiles/2008/04/access_and_control.png" alt="" width="500" height="407" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A IBM este ano não está participando do FISL por uma questão tática temporária interna. Alguns grupos mudaram, pessoas se movimentaram (como acontece em todas as empresas) e simplesmente não deu tempo. Só isso.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mas ficou uma vontade enorme de ir.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Sobre as novas profissões relacionadas a Web 2.0 que estão surgindo no horizonte. Como as empresas podem tirar proveito delas, e também o desafio de encontrar profissionais com este perfil.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Em 2007 participei de uma série de reuniões com clientes e discussões sobre a importância do Second Life na estratégia de qualquer pessoa ou empresa que se julgue &#8220;in&#8221;.</p>
<p>Veja, não estou dizendo que o Second Life é importante, mas que muitas pessoas e empresas chegaram a discutir isso seriamente.</p>
<p>Levante a mão quem já entrou no Second Life. Agora levante a mão quem entrou mais de uma vez e continua usando.</p>
<p>A Sociedade da Informação de hoje não esta pronta nem tecnológica nem psicologicamente para esses mundos virtuais. Mas eles nos ensinaram uma lição: muito relacionamento humano está acontecendo em forma de fluxo de bits, e as empresas querem estar onde as pessoas [seus clientes] estão.</p>
<p>O Second Life (e similares) é a manifestação máxima dessa malha digital de relacionamentos (também conhecida como Web 2.0), mas se é ainda inusável, que tal as empresas clarearem seus objetivos - estar perto das pessoas, lembra? - e usarem outras ferramentas da mesma família para atingí-los?</p>
<p>Que tal criarem <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/12/blogosfera.html" >blogs corporativos</a> para se comunicarem de forma mais direta, descontraida e interativa com seus clientes, como a IBM, Sun, Intel, Google, Microsoft, Nokia tem feito ?</p>
<p>Que tal aumentarem sua participação em comunidades onde as pessoas estão, como Orkut, Facebook etc? Essas festas online, especificamente, são um prato cheio para fabricantes de produtos de uso final. E não estou falando de spam, mas de uma participação oficial que realmente agregue valor.</p>
<p>Que tal usarem conceitos de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikinomics" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">Wikinomics</a> a fim de criar novos produtos baseado diretamente no desejo do consumidor ?</p>
<p>Agências de propaganda que tiverem afinidade com essas novas características da Sociedade da Informação poderão levar seus clientes a graus de competitividade mais confortáveis.</p>
<p>Profissões como <strong>Gerente de Redes Sociais</strong>, <strong>Blogueiro Corporativo</strong>, <strong>Evangelizador Digital</strong> estão surgindo no horizonte, são profissionais raros e que começam a ser procurados pelas empresas.</p>
<p>Esse profissional precisa de alguns ingredientes bem apimentados: capacidade de comunicação, bom conhecimento dos produtos da empresa, entender como redes sociais digitais funcionam, seus códigos de ética etc, alguns conhecimentos do linguajar dessa nova esfera (feeds, podcasts, trackbacks, avatars, OpenIDs etc) para fazer a tecnologia efetivamente trabalhar a seu favor, noções de user-friendlyness, etc. Meio técnico, meio comunicador, meio designer, meio webguy. Uma mistura bastante peculiar de características.</p>
<p>E como se trata de comunicação externa, há um certo risco e medo envolvido. &#8220;Será que meu blogueiro vai falar o que não deve, revelar segredos, etc?&#8221;.</p>
<p>Posso contar como isso aconteceu aqui na IBM. Há anos foram criados blogs, wikis e outras ferramentas típicas da Web 2.0 na Intranet. Todo funcionário pode ter seu blog interno, pode criar um wiki, etiquetar sites e pessoas, e automaticamente tem um perfil online tipo Orkut, que chamamos de Bluepages. Há também uma atmosfera e incentivo quase que formal para fomentar inovação, mas isso é outra história.</p>
<p>Alguns funcionários que começaram a blogar internamente passaram a fazer isso para a Internet. Houve uma espécie de seleção natural dos escritores.</p>
<p>O curioso é que essas ferramentas internas não foram criadas para fazer tal seleção. Mas seu uso é tão marcante no dia a dia dos funcionários que elas até viraram produtos para empresas que querem criar sua infraestrutura para a Web 2.0 sem o uso das ótimas opções em Software Livre que existem por aí.</p>
<p>Mas voltando às profissões, o mais interessante é que não há curso universitário que forme para tal missão. Pense nisso.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If there is one or more technical problems, the NB must disapprove the DIS. This is the rationale behind this idea.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am learning a lot from all this standardization process.</p>
<p>I was a member of the brazilian committee and I also analyzed the specification. My country disapproved OOXML and I think this was a decision based on logic lead by the process.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.jtc1sc34.org/repository/0856rev.pdf" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.jtc1sc34.org');">JTC1 rules</a> page 49 item 9.8 says:</p>
<blockquote><p>NBs may reply in one of the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Approval of the technical content of the DIS as presented (editorial or other comments may be appended);</li>
<li>Disapproval of the DIS (or DAM) for technical reasons to be stated, with proposals for changes that would make the document acceptable (acceptance of these proposals shall be referred to the NB concerned for confirmation that the vote can be changed to approval);</li>
<li>Abstention (see 9.1.2).</li>
</ul>
<p>[Note: Conditional approval should be submitted as a disapproval vote.]</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, from my understanding, <span title="pullquote">if there is one or more technical problems, the NB must disapprove</span> the DIS. Many countries found many technical problems in<span title="pullquote"> OOXML</span> that are still unresolved even after the BRM.</p>
<p>I also understand that such an important matter as an International Standard for Office Documents can&#8217;t be defined by 10 or 30 opinions collected as votes in a committee. Thats why the JTC1 process above talks about technical content, not opinion or vote. What I learned from studying the OOXML specification is that it is not ready for acceptance since many countries have found and reached consensus that the spec has problems, even after the BRM. If the NB-leveraged technical team — formed by people that would vote YES and NO — has produced a list of submitted problems in the spec, <strong>this list is by itself the consensus that the spec is still problematic</strong>.</p>
<p>I would like to understand why an NB that has produced technical comments voted YES or ABSTAINED. I thought abstention is a position for countries that were not able to create a committee to technically discuss the specification for reasons such as logistics or lack of quorum.</p>
<p>I am learning about all this and I&#8217;d like to have more solid arguments to build an opinion about these NB&#8217;s maturity to run a well documented process.</p>

<p>Dear Mr. Kimura,</p>
<p>Attached please find a letter from Mrs. María Teresa Saccucci, Standardization Manager of FONDONORMA (Venezuela) through which Venezuela wishes to modify its position on DIS 29500, Information technology - Office Open XML file formats from &#8220;Approval with comments&#8221; to &#8220;Disapproval with comments&#8221;.</p>

<p>This NO was a result of a very difficult meeting. Consensus was not reached and a lot of confusion happened. <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/08/ooxml-brazil-says-no.html" >Exactly as in the first brazilian NO</a>.</p>
<p>The NB had to decide the final vote based on technical issues still open in OOXML. The problem was the method of deciding and those technical points were not presented. So people only had in their head the Microsoft arguments that I already knew were part half trues and part complete lies.</p>
<p>I participated in the OOXML process in 3 countries and I was able to build an opinion on how normalization happens today in the world, and I&#8217;ll show some ideas in a future post.</p>
<p>By the way, this is how Caracas looks like, a city surrounded by huge green mountains that have behind them the Caribbean Sea.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is now official. Brazilian vote was decided by consensus of the entire technical team, including Microsoft crew&#8217;s: OOXML does not deserve to be an international ISO standard.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/08/ooxml-brazil-says-no.html" >first vote, in august, was also NO</a>, due to the same reasons: OOXML is an awful specification.</p>
<p>That outcome was expected because we simply followed the process: technically analyze the OOXML specification, make comments, wait for responses, analyze them and see if all problems were fixed. Is there any single remaining unresolved problem? Vote NO. And in fact there were many many unresolved problems.</p>
<p>If every country followed this simple process, OOXML would receive a NO from 100% of them.</p>
<p>But in some countries, how is the process? Invite a few companies and simply count their votes. The problem here: 10, 20 or 80 votes can never represent what is the best for that country. Only, maybe, if you collect one vote for each citizen.</p>
<p>What I am trying to say is that in this case a decision must be reached by technical consensus, not vote. It is not a matter of will, but a technical issue that can only be reached by rational analysis and deliberation.</p>
<p>In Chile for example, 21 voting companies will define a 15 million people country vote in ISO. How easy is to lobby these 21 companies with <a href="http://homembit.com/2008/03/after-all-brm-can-be-disclosed-or-not.html" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/homembit.com');">Power Point presentations telling complete plain lies</a> ?</p>
<p>Technically speaking, if your country&#8217;s vote was YES or ABSTENTION, one of these possibilities happened:</p>
<ol>
<li>Nobody had time to analyze the OOXML specification and the ABSTENTION was the right choice.</li>
<li>Nobody had time to analyze the OOXML specification and a few people decided for you to vote YES, based on ideology or a result of lobby, not technology benefits.</li>
<li>Even having time to analyze the OOXML specification, a few people decided for you to vote YES, based on ideology or result of lobby, not technology benefits.</li>
</ol>
<p>Seems stupid, but these are exactly the 2 possibilities of OOXML getting YES votes in ISO. It is still an awful specification.</p>
<p>By the way, Brazil would vote NO again and again and again even if all OOXML&#8217;s technical issues could be resolved. OOXML would still have <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/osp-gpl.html" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.softwarefreedom.org');">legal issues</a> and also serious overlap problems with the OpenDocument Format ISO standard.</p>
<p>I was not present in today&#8217;s meeting in ABNT because I already knew what would be the result, since the process of analysis and deliberation in Brazil was very strictly followed. Hopefully <a href="http://homembit.com" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/homembit.com');">Jomar</a> will write about it and you can check more details.</p>
