OpenMalaysia's Yoon Kit Yong, who earlier reported that Russia had endorsed ODF, reports that Indonesia has abstained on OOXML.

The announcement was made by Ir Kemal Prihatman (M.Eng), Assistant Deputy Manager of Development of Information Technology in the Ministry of Research and Technology. Kemal explained while the Ministry launched a community seminar called "Jogja Goes Open Source" in Yogyakarta this Tuesday (4/09/07)
