Subject: ODF Interoperability Camp



Here is the next iteration of the ODF Camp test documents and instructions.  I'd be interested in feedback on clarity of the instructions and difficulty level of the documents.

Interoperability Camp Homework Instructions

Each participating project or vendor should take each of the following 4 sample documents and create an ODF text document (ODT extension) that best matches the sample document.  In most cases the entire document will not need to be reproduced, but only certain pages, as indicated in the detailed instructions.

Each participant must complete these sample documents and email them by September 18th to XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (need instructions here).  The documents should be named XXX_1.odt, , XXX_2.odt,  etc., where XXX is the vendor or project name.  So, OO_1.odt, KDE_2.odt, etc.

At the Interoperability Camp each participant will have the opportunity to load documents produced by all of the other vendors, to see how well they are rendered.  So if there are 6 different vendors participating, you will be looking at 5 different versions of each sample document, in addition to the one that you created.

Note that if your product is an ODF viewer not an ODF editor, then you have no homework to do.  

Finally, each participant may bring one or more "challenge documents" in ODF format that we can try in all of the projects, time permitting.

For more information, please contact XXXXXXXXXXXX.


Sample Document #1

The goal is to reproduce in an interoperable fashion page 1 of this document.  This is a Belgian, dual-language regulation with Dutch on the left and French on the right.    You will want to pay attention to the alignment of the various sections, how the languages remain aligned.  This is critical.  Again, do not reproduce the entire document, but only the first page.

The source document for this sample was taken from:  https://www.socialsecurity.be/foreign/en/employer_limosa/infos/documents/pdf/act_mb_28122006.pdf


Sample Document #2

The goal here is to recreate all 3 pages of this ACM template.  Since this intended for use as a template, you should create named styles as appropriate for the various list and header styles.  Note the detailed requirements mentioned in the text of the sample, and try to follow them as closely as possible.

The source document for this sample was taken from a Word template here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates


Sample Document #3

In this test we will work with page 42 (Section 5.2.1) of this report.  The goal here is to work on interoperability of text that contains mathematical notation, which ODF represents as MathML.  Only do page 42.

The original version of this report was the ESTAT_Report_with_Equations_EN_Level3.docx document taken from the ODF Add-in for Word SourceForge project, part of the "EuroLook" set of test documents.  The complete set of test documents is here:   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=169337&package_id=210014


Sample Document #4

This test will look at interoperability of forms.  You should try to reproduce page 1 of this sample document.  The logo image used in the header is provided as image1.png

The original document was from the Page 1 from the Generalitat de Catalunya website: http://www.gencat.cat/economia/doc/doc_32045842_1.doc
