3. DELIVERABLES / TEST CASES

3.1 Second "State of Interoperability" Report

Bart has uploaded a new working draft of the "2nd State of Interoperability" report.
The 4th draft includes an overview of which ODF version is addressing what interop issue 
(as suggested by Louis)

Bart wants to finish editing the draft by May 1st: without a deadline, the report may be in
Draft status indefinitely.
Chris agrees.


3.2 Other Interop Advisories

Bart asks if there are other interoperability issues that may require an Interop Advisory,
for instance: custom shapes or custom metadata.

Andreas explains that there is a big issue with angles: the specification is clear about the units,
but most implementations don't follow the specification and implement it differently.
Regina has reported this to the ODF TC and a JIRA ticket was created (OFFICE-3774).
 
Peter thinks his implementation uses custom metadata for saving map charts, he has to check.


4. ROUND TABLE

Louis asks if anyone will be attending large European IT events, like CeBIT and LinuxTag.
None of the TC Members present is planning to attend any of these meetings.

Peter is implementing change tracking.
He and his team are also working on an office suite for mobile devices.
Louis notes that there are several ODF-on-mobile projects, and suggests to create a new SC
(under the ODF TC) to address the needs of those mobile applications.
He'll raise the issue with Rob.

Bart has no news on a next ODF Plugfest: the plugfest wiki does contain several suggestions,
but no real commitments from (local) organizers.

No further comments from Andreas nor Chris.


5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next call will be on April 3rd, 13:30 UTC.
