Review, TC Action Item plan: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/odf-adoption/OdfAdoptionTcActionItems - All The TC discussed the event plan at length with a focus on the Government 2.0 Summit (O'Reilly Conference), the upcoming interoperability event at The Hague (June 15 - 16), and the OpenOffice.org Conference in early November (Orvieto, Italy). The TC agreed to plan another ODF plug-fest, or 'camp' for the OpenOffice.org Conference. Don to the action item to 'put the stake in the ground' with the conference organizers via the new discussion list at OpenOffice.org. Bart agreed to promote this at the OIC TC list as well, once it has taken shape. The TC agreed to review and update the ODF Adoption wiki with a current list of ODF implementations. Rob can reference this in his State of ODF Interoperability Report being drafted for the ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC. Bart informed the TC of an upcoming Microsoft Document Interoperability Initiative event, scheduled for London on May 18th. Bart will attend. Bart is creating a rough draft of a Digital Signature profile as part of his efforts at the OIC TC. Bart is speaking in Zagreb where he'll be be presenting an ODF key note at the DORS/CLUC 2009 event (www.open.hr). --- Marino adoption plan: that requests come from Carol G. and not just from ODF Alliance. Update: two weeks time -- Draft ODF is a web standards; w3c interest group 12 May but they ignore issueof docs and do not consider formats as a web standard; ignore standard and do not reference XML or doc formats. oppose proprietary formats etc but nothing specific. the w3c report to be issued will have no impact then on doc web standards. - Marino: take a look at the working draft but it does not see it as relevant. - rob they have shown little interest in ODF - there is no reference to odf or other doc formats, besides anti-proprietary - Rob: w3c do not do things absent ref implementation... ask what do you want to do: odf in a browser? then get firefox to do it; nothing will happen unless there is an implementation. -marino: initial report in 12 May but they may extend the mandate, as they are interested in expanding it and there is still time to engage them in this. - rob: could push the odf packaging model--file with manifest, etc.: killer thing for web as well, to lay out browser specs. They have not solved this problem in w3c. Post 1.2, the packaging model will be split. look at this later. 3.) ODF Interoperability Event at The Hague - Bart Hanssens 4.) Government 2.0 Summit - Don 5.) OpenOffice.org Conference - Louis no update but time to investigate and drive :-) Peter: they are contacting prior organizers (peter, jesus, et al.) and interested to know what the odf adoption can do this year; and want a larger odf event this year than prior. They want an adoption event in Orvieto. Louis: they must work publicly and on the lists. The TC can help but we need for them to work with us more publicly. Peter: looking for sponsors..... 6.) ODF News / Round Table -- All Peter Junge: RedOffice will bridge ODF and UOF. It currently defaults to read/write ODF V1.1. --cannot say too much about it; there is an english versin of spec but it is not too good... colleagues working oin it; nothing new at the moment. -- RedOffice is shipping 4.5 is soon to be released.. .supporting ODF 1.1 -- Marino: nothing Alan: nothing to add Rob: quick update on ODF TC: approved 0.2 of draft 1.2 and put it out for review; community drafts issued 3/4 weeks. Next week meeting in Brussels in idabc on Nature of Administrative Documents, and several of us have been invited to this--additional requirements for ODF -press on this not until public review - technical estimate of when review: Not before July for public review. Marino that means that we have papers, press material by end of June. Issue is that we want to get this done before vacation season. Michael Bauer: when would this be done for public review? Opinion? we separate public review from formula (formal?) part as that latter needs more work; and July seems likely too for public review. But it depends on how many public comments we receive. The two large blocs are editorial notes in spec and public comments--received in March 170 alone. Time depends then on the number of comments received in the next few weeks. Marino but given info we can still draft white papers for end of June. MB: from technical perspective, the spec is complete--so we know the tech details, like new features, etc. Specis complete but what is not is the editorial element--the annotation--not the actual determination of the functionality. MB: last draft is not quite available but will be shortly, as requirement of Oasis is that there have to be various publishable versions. Will be available sometime this week. --RT: michael bauer: nothing besides the above -- louis: importance of w3c,gov't needing good arguments for migrating to odf Marino: Drafting an ODF V1.2 brochure; will circulate this to the TC. The meeting was adjourned. Regards,
