Introduction to David A. Wheeler

[Gary Edwards <gary.edwards@OpenDocument.us>]

Hi OASIS ODF TC,

I would like to welcome David A. Wheeler to the OASIS ODF TC.  He will be joining Bruce D'Arcus, Claus Agerskov, Patrick Durusau and myself, representing the OpenDocument Foundation, Inc.   David is a founding member of the OpenDocument Fellowship, and has written some of the most pivotal examinations comparing ODF, MSXML and the future of collaborative computing.  He has a Wikipedia page describing much of his background and interests, a personal web site, and  somehow manages to maintain the incredibly comprehensive and most definitive ODF Wikipedia page. 

And yes, this the same David A. Wheeler who first proposed and took on the challenging task of leading the OpenFormula Project. 

Michael has assured us that at some point in the future, when the TC has cleared off some of the current action items, the OpenFormula issue will make it to the agenda for discussion.  In the meantime i would ask anyone who is interested to check out the project wiki site, see for yourself how far OpenFormula has come, and perhaps even jump in and contribute :)
