Open Source Business Alliance OOXML initiative

[todd rme]

The Open Source Business Alliance has started a new initiate to
improve OOXML support in open source office suites, the "Precise
reproduction of OOXML documents in Open Source Office applications"
project:

They will provide funding for projects trying to "improve the way that
documents in Microsoft OOXML formats are displayed and processed".
The press release specifically mentions LibreOffice and
OpenOffice.org, but there may be an opportunity for Calligra to get
involved if you make a good case for it.  Since funding as available,
it may at least be worth checking on.  Sorry if this has already been
brought up, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.
