I will not be able to attend because I am attending a meeting by the 
standardisation organization of the dutch government [1]. The topic there is 
whether or not to upgrade from ODF 1.0 to 1.2.
A few questions that will be discussed are:
 - Does the standards body have a documented versioning policy?
 - Will development of the standard be financed for at least 3 more years?
 - Is the standardisation process of high enough quality that a new version 
can be used without vetting?
 - Are the interests of the dutch government met in the standardisation 
process?

I've not attended a meeting of this kind before, but i'm pretty confident that 
it will go well.

Cheers,
Jos
