ODF Focus Area on XML.org ========================= Focus area launched but not much press coverage yet, however there has been a big increase in traffic to the website and a number of blogs had covered it. Agreed to ask the ODF Alliance to publicise it in their next newsletter. Rob agreed to ask the Chairs of the ODF TC and the various sub-committees to provide *content* on a regular basis. All committee members should ensure they update their bios on the Editorial Board page. Erwin agreed to ensure that all the appropriate links are in place on the site. Erwin would continue to chase with Sun for a testimonial. OpenOffice.org Conference recap =============================== About 300 people attended although nearly 700 had registered. The ODF panel was a great success and probably the highlight of the event. The question was raised regarding the profile of those who had attended and those who hadn't but this was not available. It was suggested that asking for confirmation about 2 weeks before the event might help with estimating attendance. Update on other deliverables ============================ Erwin has uploaded his white paper to the web site and is looking for feedback. ODF Presentation - Erwin hasn't had a chance to review it in-depth yet. ODF News / Round Table ====================== Rob mentioned the OpenDocument day at the KDE Developer Conference (aKademy), scheduled for Tuesday Sep 26 in Dublin, he would be speaking on *an* ODF Developers Toolkit. There had been no updates from California but a presentation to the State of Minnesota was being planned. The situation in France was difficult at the moment except for the previously agreed roll-outs. Gary reported on discussions round an ODF User Group and also the lack of ODF plug-ins. Gary noted that his recommendation to Governments was to commit to a file format not a specific application, and to test against agreed benchmarks and milestones. The current political situation was noted and it was felt a User Group could help with this. The meeting was adjourned at this stage.
