Subject: First draft proposal for the ODF Adoption TC homepage
Dear Adoption TC members, Below is a first draft proposal for extending/enhancing the ODF Adoption TC homepage. I'd love to hear your input and feedback! Some content might be more appropriate for the XML.org focus area if/once it gets created. In addition, I expect some of the external links to get replaced by ODF Adoption TC deliverables going forward. However, for now I'd love to extend and improve our ODF Adoption TC homepage, so that we can start providing the resources that potential ODF adopters are looking for. I'm looking forward to your comments! Best regards, Erwin Overview ======== OASIS ODF Adoption Committee members collaborate to provide expertise and resources to educate the marketplace on the value of the OpenDocument OASIS Standard. By raising awareness of the benefits offered by a truly open file format—one that has been advanced and approved by an internationally recognized standards body—the Committee increases the demand for and availability of ODF-conforming products, resulting in a greater choice of tools and platforms and expanding the ODF community of users, suppliers, and developers. For more information, see the TC Charter and FAQ. Mailing Lists and Comments ========================== odf-adoption: the list used by TC members to conduct Committee work. TC membership required to post. TC members are automatically subscribed; the public may view archives. odf-adoption-comment: a public mail list for providing input to the OASIS ODF Adoption Committee members. Send a comment or view archives. Content for this OASIS TC web page is provided by the TC. For technical assistance, contact webmaster@oasis-open.org. Quotes and Endorsements ======================= "To me, that document formats for "office" applications should be completely open, not hindered by patents, and not owned by a single vendor is just obvious. I wasn't brought up to think otherwise, and so this whole business around why everyone should be rushing to implement the new OASIS Open Document format standard is a big "duh" (that is, slap-yourself-in-the-head-obvious)." - Bob Sutor, Vice President of Standards and Open Source http://www-03.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/BobSutor?entry=open_document_formats_open_must "If we wish, we can now draw a base-line across the productivity tools market and tell our suppliers we will not tolerate further competition and lock-in below that line. Innovation above that line is desirable - expected, even - but attempts to force upgrade, lock out competition, control my own use of my own data, are all now unacceptable. We have the tools of freedom in our hands. Time to use them." - Simon Phipps, Chief Open Source Officer, Sun Microsystems http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/webmink?entry=iso_26300 TBD: more/other quotes News and Announcements ====================== TBD: official ISO approval announcement 18 April 2006 "OpenDocument Format Alliance Grows to 138 Members, Representing 30 Countries" http://www.odfalliance.org/press/AllianceRelease18April06.pdf 7 March 2006 "Governments, Users and Providers of Office Applications Unite to Advance Adoption of OpenDocument Format (ODF) OASIS Standard" http://www.oasis-open.org/news/oasis-news-2006-03-07.php 3 March 2006 "Alliance Formed to Promote Improved Access to and Retrieval of Electronic Government Documents" http://www.odfalliance.org/press/AllianceRelease3March06.pdf Events ====== First ODF Adoption TC Face-2-face Meeting San Francisco, CA, USA 10 May 2006 http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/tc_meetings.php OASIS Open Standards Day Germany Wiesbaden, Germany 8-9 November 2006 http://www.tekom.de/upload/alg/CfP%20OOSD.pdf OpenOffice.org Conference 2006 Lyon, France 11-13 September 2006 http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/index.html OpenDocument Format Roadmap =========================== TC Roadmap Proposal http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200605/msg00005.html "From Open Source to Open Standard: The OASIS OpenDocument Format" Michael Brauer, XTech 2005 http://www.idealliance.org/proceedings/xtech05/papers/03-02-02/ Presentations and White Papers ============================== "The adoption of, and migration to, OpenDocument in the public sector" Erwin Tenhumberg, OASIS Adoption Forum, London, 18 October 2005 http://www.oasis-open.org/events/adoption_forum_2005/proceedings.php "Usage of the OpenDocument interfaces in OpenOffice.org Writer" Florian Reuter, OpenOffice.org Conference 2005 http://ooocon.kiberpipa.org/media/index-day2.html Vendor Support ============== OASIS ODF TC Member List http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=office OASIS ODF Adoption TC Member List http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=odf-adoption ODF Alliance Member List http://www.odfalliance.org/about.html Application Support =================== ODF Application Support Wikipedia Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_supporting_OpenDocument Case Studies ============ StarOffice Migration at Bristol City Council (UK) http://www.opensourceacademy.gov.uk/osacademy/our_partners/bristol-city-council/bristol-city-council OpenOffice.org Migration at the City of Vienna (Austria) Project Website http://www.wien.gv.at/ma14/oss.html OpenOffice.org Conference Presentation: http://ooocon.kiberpipa.org/media/index-day2.html OpenOffice.org Migration at the City of Haarlem (Netherlands) http://europa.eu.int/idabc/en/document/3434/469 OpenOffice.org Market Share Analysis http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Market_Share_Analysis Related Projects and Initiatives ================================ OASIS OpenDocument Format (ODF) Technical Committee (TC) http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office ODF Alliance http://www.odfalliance.org OpenDocument Wikipedia Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument OpenDocument Fellowship http://opendocumentfellowship.org Developer Resources =================== OpenDocument Format Specification Document http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office Perl Module OpenOffice-OODoc http://search.cpan.org/dist/OpenOffice-OODoc/ Online Book: "OASIS OpenDocument Essentials" http://books.evc-cit.info/ OpenDocument Utilities http://books.evc-cit.info/odf_utils/ OpenDocument Sample Documents http://netmoc.cpe.ucf.edu/Projects/OpenDocument/TestSuite.html OpenOffice.org XML Project http://xml.openoffice.org/
