Subject: ODF Adoption TC Call - May 30, 2006 - Minutes
Dear ODF Adoption TC Members, Below are my notes from last week's TC meeting. Best regards, Erwin Attendees ========= * Erwin Tenhumberg * Marino Marcich * Peter Lord * Louis Suarez-Potts * Alan Clark * Gary Edwards * Charles Schulz * Timothy Vaverchak, MA ITD, Observer Agenda ====== Logistics --------- - Roll call See attendee list above! - Acceptance of minutes from two weeks ago The minutes from last week got accepted. - Acceptance of today's agenda The propoased agenda got accepted. OpenOffice.org Conference Participation ======================================= What is the OpenOffice.org Conference? -------------------------------------- The OpenOffice.org Conferences are attended by 300-500 people from different audiences. The majority of the sessions have a technical focus, but representatives from large companies and goverments are among the speakers and attendees. For example, the City of Vienna talked about their OpenOffice.org migration last year, and the French Ministry of the Interior did a presentation in 2004. The conferences are organized by the community on a relatively low budget. Last year's conference had very good media coverage anyway due to live webcasts and the keynote by Tim Bray: http://ooocon.kiberpipa.org/articles/media/ Previous agenda's give a good overview about the conference: http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2005/schedule.html http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2004/schedule.html http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2003/schedule.html Who is planning to submit ODF related sessions? ----------------------------------------------- There probably will be a full track just about ODF. Novell's CIO might be interested in doing a keynote about Novell's migration to OpenOffice.org. Michael Brauer will do an ODF overview presentation. The "adoption part" of his presentation could be done by someone from the ODF Adoption TC. OpenDocument Format Newsletter ============================== Does one exist already? ----------------------- Yes, the ODF Alliance issues a bi-weekly newsletter to its members. The newsletter will be opened up, so that anybody can subscribe. Marino will send out the sign-up link. Should we create one? --------------------- It probably does not make sense to duplicate efforts. Progress on deliverables ======================== TC homepage ----------- Erwin updated the TC homepage. Feedback is welcome. Charles found an alignment problem which occurs on screens with lower resolutions. Erwin will fix it. White paper content ------------------- Erwin created the first draft Wiki pages. MoinMoin wiki is different to the MediaWiki used by Wikipedia and OpenOffice.org. Thus, Erwin had to get used to it. More content needs to be added over the next few weeks. We have to watch more closely the ECMA TC45 work, because people from the ODF Alliance and the ODF Adoption TC get asked positioning questions, e.g. frequent requests regarding performance. ODF presentation ---------------- Erwin wants to send out some draft slides soon which can be used as the basis for an "ODF Golden Pitch" presentation. The ODF Alliance needs slides as well. xml.org focus area ------------------ Sun is willing to sponsor, but at least two additional sponsors are needed. It was suggested to promote and use the existing Wikipedia pages. By putting more emphasis on the Wikipedia pages we could leverage the existing ODF community and enable participation, on the other hand the Wikipedia page might not be the optimal resource for ISV's and government users that want to get ODF information from an "official" resouce. Anyway, the Adoption TC work should leverage and foster existing work instead of competing with it, where possible and advisable. Recent events/news ================== Open standards efforts in France -------------------------------- Charles gave an overview.
