 - Determination of quorum status 
A Quorum was achieved.

 - Due to my lapse in attention (due to a great vacation!), we have
no minutes to approve.

- Acceptance of today's agenda 

**The TC added the topic of 'managing
opendocument.xml.org' web site with a focus on correcting the spam activity.
Rob noted that spam was becoming quite
an issue. 
-->>Don took the action to report
this to Carol Geyer at OASIS and request site maintenance and corrective
actions. Don will also request site statistics to evaluate the performance
of the site. The TC will followup on this topic in the next meeting on
August 11th

The TC discussed the opendocument.xml.org
site, its effectiveness, and strategies and tactics to improve the status
quo.
The TC agreed to build a canonical list
of ODF web resources. A draft list will be posted to the ODF Adoption wiki.
-->>Louis took the action to draft
the list.
The intent is to present a consistent
resource list for all relevant ODF sites; e.g. ODF Alliance, ODF Fellowship,
etc.

The TC members with corporate support
agreed to post the ODF resource links on the appropriate site for their
employers; e.g. Don agreed to add the resource links to the IBM developerWorks
site.


2.) Review, TC Action Item plan: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/odf-adoption/OdfAdoptionTcActionItems -
All 

Marino led a discussion on the ODF 1.2
brochure/white paper project. He noted that his draft is available, and
if combined with short papers on Digital Signature by Bart Hanssens. The
paper will need to add sections on spreadsheet formula, and metadata in
order to present a complete 'What's New with ODF 1.2' paper approximately
4 - 5 pages in length. 
-->>Don took the action to edit
the paper, adding the missing sections, and posting the draft on the ODF
Adoption wiki. We will review this in our next TC meeting on August 11th.

3.) OpenOffice.org Conference planning
including ODF Track, ODF Interoperability Workshop, etc. - All

The TC discussed the ODF Track, and
the current status of the proposed ODF Plug-fest.  Rob summarized
the planning discussions underway being led by Bart Hanssens in his role
as Chair, ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC. The ODF Adoption TC
members agreed that the process is moving, and will resolve in the near
future.

4.) ODF News / Round Table  -- All 

There was no time for the round table.
