Quinn, an information technology (IT) worker, was Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from September 2002 through January 2006. He is noted for his controversial support for OpenDocument, a standard format for office documents (ISO/IEC 26300). Quinn established a requirement that all state government documents be formatted in OpenDocument (effective 2007). This created intense opposition from Microsoft, whose Office software uses proprietary formats and does not recognize OpenDocument files. Although Quinn found support both within and outside government, he was opposed in his efforts; for example by Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Galvin. Furthermore, the Boston Globe alleged that Quinn had misused public travel funds for trips to IT conferences, where he was supportive of open source software.
