2.) Defining the ODF Adoption TC 2010 Workplan --- continued. 
a) Podcast Discussion -- The discussion focused on the feasibility of producing
a series of podcasts on various ODF technical themes. Rob started a wiki
to capture ideas and processes for successful podcasts here: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/odf-adoption/PodcastIdeas

The TC members agreed that podcasts
to promote the upcoming ODF Plug-fest in Granada would be helpful and well
received. The TC agreed to work to create an interview outline with questions
to help prepare and plan for the interviews.

Rob and Louis agreed to test Skype to
determine if the audio quality was sufficient.

Alan offered to investigate the possibility
of Novell assistance for post-production of the recording prior to podcasting.

Rob suggested a goal of (1) podcast/month.

b) ODF Fan page on Facebook established
by Charles. TC members are encouraged to join and evangelize the page to
build membership. It's also important to post and show activity to retain
the 400 member who've joined since Charles set this up.


3.) ODF Plug-fest Granada Update 

Bart updated the TC on invitees. Aspose
is sending a delegation from various countries, so the Google Docs and
their partner will be represented. Microsoft has been invited but has not
committed to attend due to scheduling conflicts. The main issue remains
the need to ensure broad vendor participation.

4.) OpenOffice.org CON - ODF Track Planning 
The TC agreed to work to continue the
success of the OpenOffice.org CON 2009 ODF track for the 2010 Budapest
event.

5.) TC schedule and Daylight Savings Time change in the U.S. -- re-confirming
our meeting cadence as bi-weekly, or should we change to monthly? 
The TC agreed to meet based on the same
time in the US -- which will be UTC -4 hrs. on March 16.

6.) ODF News / Round Table  -- All 
The Japanese version of ODF 1.0 is completed, approved and published on
Feb 22, 2010.

ODF 1.1 has been officially submitted
to JTC1 for amendment of ISO 26300. This is expected to be an 8 - 12 month
process and it will overlap with the anticipated submission of the PAS
process for ODF 1.2 in the second half of 2010.

Marino Marcich has resigned as Executive
Director of the ODF Alliance. David LeDuc has succeeded Marino.  We
are grateful to Marino for his years of service and successful stewardship
of ODF around the world through his work supporting government policy and
ICT leaders seeking to adopt an open standards framework.

The meeting was adjourned.
