One of the last stops that I will make is Athens, starting next Monday. We will be doing the two-day workshop with less .NET and more mark-up! I am looking forward to meeting everyone. Not to mention the food. Perhaps I can stock up on olive oil again like I did in Italy.
In the mean time, here are some interesting links on Open XML:

Another note that I forgot to make you all aware of is that I have taken place in the Dutch ISO committee responsible for passing Office Open XML as an ISO standard. The committee is tasked with examining the Office Open XML spec and see whether there are areas of improvement before going over to the acceptance of Office Open XML. Personally, I don't see any major difficulties, most of the comments raised have already been thouroughly discussed and found to be non-issues. Let's go Open XML!
See you in Greece!
