Erwin



Attendees
=========
* Alan Clark
* Erwin Tenhumberg
* Don Harbison
* Charles Schulz
* J. David Eisenberg



Logistics
=========
We did not have a quorum.


Recruiting new members / reinvigorating the TC
==============================================
The business / value proposition message is pretty much covered.
Now we should focus on ISV / developer oriented messages.
J. David did some work on XForms.

The various ODF toolkit efforts might be a good topic.
We should put a spotlight on tooling.

Cedric Bosdonnat might be an interesting candidate.
He wrote a plug-in for eclipse.

Juergen Schmidt from Sun might be another one good candidate.
Juergen is involved in the ODF toolkit, the OpenOffice.org SDK
and a plug-in for NetBeans.

It also would be good to have people on the TC who are involved
in migrations, i.e.:

    - Customers / users
    - SI's

We should also talk to some of the ODF implementors and ask them
for feedback about ODF.



Update on deliverables
======================

ODF Symposium
-------------
There will be something like lightning rounds on Tuesday with
a Q&A session at the end.
The Tuesday session will help to promote the Wednesday talks.
Presentations are due this Friday.
An informal get-together for members of both TC's is also planned.


New collateral
--------------
Erwin created a URL card for the recent e-government event in Berlin.

We need to create technical documentation for the developer community.
Probably some of the Symposium content can be leveraged.



Events
======
Open document exchange formats was a key topic at the recent
e-government conference in Berlin:

that supports ODF.
