NY State decision on ODF v OOXML approaching

christian.einfeldt writes: "In August of 2007, the State of New York passed legislation requiring its CIO, Melodie Mayberry-Stewart, to gather information on the advantages and disadvantages of adopting either ODF or OOXML as a document standard, and to report her findings by 15 January 2007. As part of her duties under that legislation, CIO Mayberry-Stewart issued a Request For Public Comment to get feedback on the topic. The deadline for that public comment is 28 December 2007, so there is still time for the Slashdot crowd to be heard."
