I have always been in the MATLAB camp myself, but it reassuring to find that Wolfram now supports OpenDocument format in its product, Mathematica. Via Groklaw:

Note Mathematica is claiming full import/export for ODF. Here's the import explanation, and note the lovely graphic. And here's the import/export page, showing all the other formats it can handle. I wonder if this could be used for our tables conversion work on monthly statements in the bankruptcy? Even if not, it's another application on the list of applications that support ODF.

That's a nice addition to many others (some examples below). ⬆

• ODF Alliance hails record growth in application support for ODF
• ODF a National Standard in Korea
• Obama Voices Support for ODF
• Open IT has arrived: US presidential candidates campaigning for it
• Malaysia formally embraces open doc format
• Government of Japan Embraces Open Software Standards
• Netherlands Picks ODF
• Opendocument_adoption
