ODF Translations

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

We have a Russian translation of ODF linked from
http://www.oasis-open.org/about/available_translations.php#transdoc

Please send me info on the Spanish and Portuguese translations (and any others
that exist), so I can update that page.

Thanks,
Carol

Subject: [odf-adoption] ODF Adoption TC Call - June 24, 2008 - Minutes

1.) Logistics 
 - Roll call 
**Quorum. Don Harbison (IBM), Rob Weir IBM), Michael Brauer (Sun), Alan Clark
(Novell), Zaheda Bhorat (Google), Meredith Whittaker (Google), Aslam Raffee
(South Africa, Dept of Science & Technology), Bart Hanssens (Belgium, Fedict),
Marino Marcich (ODF Alliance)
 - Acceptance of open minutes from previous meetings 
**Minutes approved
 - Acceptance of today's agenda 
**Agenda approved 

2.) Update on ballot procedure and scheduling for  co-Chair 
**It was noted that voting rights requires attendance at two consecutive
meetings. As Louis Suarez Potts was not present and Zaheda Bhorat was
re-establishing voting rights, it was agreed that the ballot for co-chair of
the OASIS Adoption TC would be postponed indefinitely, or until such time as
both candidates have re-established their voting rights. 

3) Update on formation of ODF Implementation, Interoperability and Conformance
TC (OIIC TC) 
**Rob Weir briefed members on the status of OIIC. Participation in the
discussion list had grown to 129, an indication of the strong interest in the
issue. Discussion may last up to 90 days.  Participants in the list will
determine whether there is sufficient interest to form an OASIS TC, and then
collaborate on a draft TC charter for submission. A minimum of five OASIS
members are required to sponsor the formation of  a new TC. OASIS membership
fee may be an issue for some open source developers participating in an
individual capacity, though fee waiver provisions do exist. A distinction
should be drawn the actual tools to test conformance (the conformance test
itself – OASIS doesn’t produce source code) versus a “test conformance
document”. It is the latter that is the work product of the OIIC TC. The next
step is to draft a consensus “charter”. It was agreed that we should seek the
participation of as many vendors as possible that have implemented support for
ODF in their products, among them Corel, Apple, and others.

4.) Action Items Review and Update 
 
-  http://wiki.oasis-open.org/odf-adoption/OdfAdoptionTcActionItems
<BLOCKED::http://wiki.oasis-open.org/odf-adoption/OdfAdoptionTcActionItems>  
**Several items closed, including “fonts for Linux features” (more of an
application issue) 
**Toll-free dial in issue still needs to be resolved 
**Status/existence of Japanese and Korean ODF translations needs to be tracked
down. Looks like Spanish and Portuguese translations exist. 
**It was noted that J David Eisenberg was reviewing ODF toolkit capabilities 
**July 18th is the deadline for OOo Conference proposals/ideas. See
http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2008/cfp/
<http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2008/cfp/>  for more details. 
Need to reach out to host re: agenda.

-- discussion on deliverables for 2H/2008. 
**Accessibility “resource paper” incorporating recent developments 
**Ideas for galvanizing the ODF community agreed as an agenda item for next
call 
**Need to better highlight core “value proposition” of ODF 

5.) ODF News / Round Table 
**Microsoft has invited members of the ODF TC to Redmond on July 30 regarding
its plans to implement support for ODF
