open source standards --- I am not an expert, but I understand that the international standards establishment has been linked to the industrial developments in different fields, feeding from the technical needs and features of the technologies and products offered to the consumers and companies that want to participate in the production. I suppose that is the same with internet developers, but in the case of open source is the standardization and certification process also “open”? How can open source technologies, software and applications be a real alternative to the offered in the market by long established companies?
