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.

Several companies and organizations had created ODF logos, each with its own strengths and supporters.

The result is the ODF community logo.

This page documents the search conducted by the Committee and the comments received in the logo design process.

ODF-XSLT Project Announcement

Lone Wolves is happy to announce the ODF-XSLT project [1]. The ODF-XSLT Document Generator is a library written in PHP 5 that brings the full power of XSLT to your OpenDocument files.
