Hi :)
I think the largest company in the eco-system is beginning to be TDF!
IBM is larger but it doesn't seem to want to be a big name in office
desktops.

Does the ODF Alliance still exist?  Their website seems to be dead or
perhaps just very out-of-date.  Perhaps people from TDF could get
involved in updating it?  Perhaps Apache might be interested in giving
it a boost too?  Perhaps it's just that it's main reasons for
existence are over now?  OASIS is a LOT more lively.  Last i heard
there were some (or at least 1) people from TDF involved in that.
Also there seems to be TDF people involved in FSF (or is it FSF people
involved in TDF?).  Anyway, either way is good.

Regards from
Tom :)
