The minutes were approved.

- Acceptance of today's agenda 
*Rob Weir requested adding discussion
on the current status of the ODF 1.2 effort, plus a review of the worldwide
ODF Adoption chart.

ODF 1.2 Status:

Rob took the TC through an overview
of the current status of the ODF 1.2 standard effort .There are (3) parts:
Part 1, Schema; Part 2, OpenFormula, and Part 3, Package format for ODF
documents.  Rob forecast that the OASIS public review for comments
would likely begin in early November. As a result the ODF Adoption TC should
plan to start its publicity activities to support this.

Part 3 describes some significant new
features and function for ODF: document encryption, digital signature,
 and metadata are among them. The TC needs to focus on producing materials
that highlight these.

Bart Hanssens is planning on presenting
a demo of digital signature capability at the upcoming ODF Plug-fest in
Orvieto (Nov. 2 - 3)

Digital signatures needs to be supported
by multiple implementations in order to pass the OASIS Interoperability
Demo requirement. 

Rob indicated that Part 2 would likely
be approved for public review approximately a month after Part 3. Part
2 (OpenForumula) public review estimates depend on how much effort is applied.
A rough estimate is an additinal 2 - 3 months (Feb 2010).

An OASIS ballot will approve all (3)
parts, following the complettion of the respective public reviews, each
lasting 60 days according to OASIS procedure.

ODF Worldwide Adoption Chart discussion:

Marino indicated that he keyed off of
Bob Sutor's map with help from Jomar Silva. Jomar used gimp to color in
the countries. There is a need to distinguish the degree of adoption; e.g.
a) requirement to use ODF; b) Government to public interaction; c) recommendation;
and d) part of an overall interoperability framework policy.

2.) Status update for OpenOffice.org
Conference planning including ODF Track, ODF Interoperability Workshop,
etc. - All 

We will have all of the OASIS ODF TC
chairs present at the OpenOffice.org conference participating in an 'State
of ODF' panel discussion. Rob is preparing some questions for each panelist
to prepare ahead of time.

3.) ODF Toolkit status update - Rob 

The ODF Toolkit 0.7.5 release is scheduled
for Tuesday, November 4, 2009.
