2.) ODF Toolkit Union - next steps
The TC discussed the current status
of the new ODF Toolkit Union open source software development community.
The web site ( http://odftoolkit.org
) is up and running. There are currently 207 registered members, however
project work has not begun in earnest. The TC discussed its potential
role in terms of supporting the mission of the ODF Toolkit Union through
complementary educational outreach and other activities.
3.) OIC TC Update and Discussion for
Action Plan
Rob Weir updated TC members regarding
the latest progress and focus on deliverables within the OASIS OIC TC.
Project planning to produce an initial 'State of ODF Interoperability'
document is set for May 2009 delivery. Other work items include: defining
test cases for discrete test assertions; developing a full test suite comprised
of documents that support conformance testing, and interoperability testing
that goes beyond conformance testing; i.e. how well do specific ODF implementations
actually interoperate with one another.
Rajiv Shah, University of Illinois,
has formally contributed the test documents to the OASIS OIC TC used in
his report entitled, "An Empirical Study of Open Standards" posted
here: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1031749
There is good attendance and participation
within the new OIC TC
4.) ODF V1.2 Update and Discussion for
Action Plan
-- suggestions from Bart Hanssens:
--
an easy-to-grasp brochure on what's new in ODF 1.2 ?
--
a list of platforms NOT supporting ODF yet (mainframe ? iPhone ?)
--
a map (like Bob Sutor's map) showing where ODF is accepted as a
national/regional standard
Rob updated the TC members regarding
a recent paper he has contributed to the IEEE Internet Computing magazine
focused on ODF, providing an overview, its context and a short technical
description. The paper is due for publication in the March/April issue.
The TC agreed to seek permission to link to this article or publish it
separately on http://opendocument.xml.org
The TC membership brainstormed a number
of project deliverables for the 2009 workplan. Rob proposed building a
Google map with pushpins showing the location of local support for ODF,
linking to any article of content published on ODF from a specific country
locale.
ACTION: Marino to discuss this project
concept with Zaheda Bhorat, and report back on recommended next steps.
Marino proposed an ODF V1.2 brochure
(as did Bart), highlighting the growing business value of ODF.
ACTION: Marino to lead the Communications
Planning for the ODF Adoption TC's 2009 workplan collaborating directly
with Carol Geyer, OASIS Communications Mgr. and report back with recommended
next steps.
5. ODF Events Calendar for 2009
Louis provided the TC with a report
on his experience attending and speaking at the Linux Conference Australia
(LCA).
6.) Action Items Planning for 2009
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/odf-adoption/OdfAdoptionTcActionItems
The TC updated the action item table,
and will continue to reference and modify this going forward.
7.) ODF News / Round Table -- All
The TC was unable to conduct a news/roundtable
due to time expiring.
