An excellent example of governments working together on open standards like ODF: the Dutch government program 'The Netherlands Open In Connection' started a Dutch ODF usergroup while Fedict, the Belgian Federal Public Service ICT, publishes an ODF news letter in Dutch and French.

Welcome to OpenDocument XML.org.
This is the official community gathering place and information resource for the OpenDocument Format (ODF) OASIS Standard (ISO/IEC 26300). Suitable for text, spreadsheets, charts, graphs, presentations, and databases, ODF frees documents from their applications-of-origin, enabling them to be exchanged, retrieved, and edited with any OpenDocument-compliant software or tool. This is a community-driven site, and the public is encouraged to contribute content.

Simple Java API for ODF Announced
News: Submitted by rcweir on Mon, 2010-11-01 20:55.
The first public release of the new Simple Java API for ODF is now available for download. This API radically simplifies common document automation tasks, allowing you to perform tasks in a few lines of code that would require require hundreds if you were manipulating the ODF XML directly.
The Simple API is part of the ODF Toolkit Union open source community and is available under the Apache 2.0 license. JavaDoc, demonstration code and a “Cookbook” are also available on the project’s website.
From Rob Weir: An Antic Disposition.
