3. STATE OF INTEROPERABILITY REPORT e-BALLOT
We are waiting for the request for publishing to the OASIS site and announcement of Public Review to come out.

4. INTEROP ADVISORIES
< http://wiki.oasis-open.org/oic/InteropAdvisories>
We noticed some possible glitches with SVN updates being reported to the OIC TC List.  This may have happened with an intermediary between the OASIS site and some recipients, since the archive has the reports and so do some of us.

4.1 INTEROP ADVISORY #0004.
This is one that Bart has created and requests review, especially from implementers (with 4 implementations represented on the call: Gnumeric, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft). If an issue is found, an OIC JIRA issue should be opened.

4.2 OTHER ACTIONS
  BART: To create Component for Interop Advisories on JIRA.  
  BART: Link to the wiki page for Advisories as part of the technical work produced by the committee.
  We could also notify the Plugfest list that these advisories are appearing and that the oic-comment list should be used to send us comments/requests about them.

5. STATUS OF ODF EVENTS

5.1 ODF INTEROP DEMO (September, Budapest)
Don Harbison reported that the demo is progressing, with the team iterating on particular elements of the demo with lengthy calls.  August 12 is the deadline for additional participants, and there may be 1-2 more at that time.  There will be an OASIS Press Release refresh.  Rehearsals will begin on August 30.  Last-minute nail-biting is expected, but preparations are currently going to plan.

5.2 ODF PLUGFEST (October, Brussels)
<http://www.odfplugfest.be/>
Bart reported that these preparations are also making progress.  The program will include a presentation on a company that creates templates for customers so that communications have the same look-and-feel and format.  There is also a company that converts ODT to ePub for mobile devices and other eReaders.  There is a university team that is working on generating Daisy talking books and Braille files from ODF.
  There will also be vendor updates, participation by creators of libraries such as ODFDOM, etc.  
  They are aiming for 70-75 participants.
was scheduled for 29 July.
 

6. ROUND TABLE
There was observation of the increasing activity on ODF, with musings about the change-tracking proposal and a request with regard to bibliographies.


7. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next meeting is on August 25 at the usual time.
