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
        --
virtual plug-fest to support the progress of ODF interoperability and conformance
-- suggestion from Rob Weir:
        --
offer a webinar series

The TC discussed a potential list of
deliverables to support the impending approval of ODF 1.2 in mid-2009.
The goal of completing these deliverable by June 30 is to be ready to support
the formal announcement of ODF 1.2 when it is successfully voted an OASIS
standard.

• Rob Weir provided an update on the current progress of ODF 1.2; i.e. its recent successful Committee Draft status. A rough estimate of an additional 4 - 6 months to OASIS standardization was provided.

• Don Harbison agreed to draft a matrix of candidate deliverables by audience type.

• Bart Hanssens led a discussion on the opportunity to plan and lead a more formal ODF Interoperability event, or 'plug-fest'. Format for this event is either virtual or a face-to-face event. Jane Harnad will be invited to attend a future TC call to advise.

As time expired, the meeting was adjourned
at this point.
