Is standardization deemed to be against FS and how can it be tackled?

[Scott Wilson]

Hi Tom,

We’ve written some guidance on this topic:

http://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2013/03/21/open-source-meets-open-standards/ <http://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2013/03/21/open-source-meets-open-standards/>

There isn’t a single answer as different standards setting organisations have different rules, and different participation.

Hope this helps,

S
