Acceptance of minutes

The minutes from the meeting on 11th July 2006 were not balloted due to lack of quorum.

It is suggested here that the committee ballot the minutes of July 11 and July 18 during the July 25th meeting.

===================
Charles informed the members that OpenOffice.org conference planners have determined the agenda and plan to notify the individuals whose abstracts were accepted in the near future. The agenda will be published soon on the Web and in parallel, the organizers are working with INSA to print the conference brochures ahead of the summer vacation period.

An ODF panel/roundtable has been defined for Wednesday morning, Sep. 13. Details regarding the participants will be published soon on the OpenOffice.org site.
