Submission + - OOXML protesters outside ISO meeting

howcome writes: "Steve Pepper, the chairman of the committee handling OOXML in Norway called on users all around the world to "Raise a storm of protest!" against OOXML. Steve addressed a crowd of 150 protesters in the streets of Oslo, just outside an ISO meeting. From his speech: "We are not here because we want to discredit the ISO. We are here because we want to defend ISO's integrity ... What we are against is the way in which what has always been an open and democratic organization, where each country has one vote, has been subverted by a large multinational corporation.""
