Greetings!

The notes from the ODF TC conference call, March 7, 2022, follow below.

Reports of the end of the COVID pandemic are premature and ill-advised.

*Patrick:*  Regina - note that Easter Sunday depends on the locale

*Patrick:*  Andreas - does not depend on locale

*Patrick:*  date depends on use of Gregorian calendar

*Patrick:*  Regina: Note: The use of the Gregorian calendar was introduced at different times.

*Patrick:*  Returns the date of Easter Sunday in the year passed as Year. - Returns the date of Easter Sunday in the Gregorian calendar in the year passed as Year.

*Regina Henschel:*  draw:engine (19.146) and draw:data (19.131)

*Patrick:*  # of additional attributes? Michael

*Patrick:*  Can we say see OOXML for rendering?

*Patrick:*  Francis - if a number of properties need to be specified , will be a long string,

*Patrick:*  Andreas - ultimate in non-interoperability -

*Patrick:*  Francis - agrees with Andreas - let's try some text for option A and see what we think

*Patrick:*  Regina - OOXML doesn't have all the information to implement it

*Patrick:*  Only have illustrations to show the rendering

*Patrick:*  Francis, if we can specify and it looks like the images in OOXML, that might be good enough

*Andreas:*  I will need to leave, see you next time.

*Patrick:*  Regina - next steps - specify 90 presets types 200 pictures

*Patrick:*  Francis - we could specify how they should be specified and send it to the OOXML committee -

*Patrick:*  Regina - will make a document for the attributes that are missing -

*Patrick:*  adjourned
