REPORTS AND INFORMAL DISCUSSION

 

2. STATUS OF ACTION ITEMS

 

  #0015 Template Scenarios.  Dennis reports that this is work in progress.  He has a short starter note that will be posted before the end of April.

  #0033 Best Practices for Document Authors. Rob is closing this item. He has invited review and contributions and this will become an agenda item when there are working drafts and progress to discuss <http://wiki.oasis-open.org/oic/EndUser>

  #0034 Interop Demo Videos.  Bart indicated that his part in getting this going remains work in progress.

  #0041 Battery of ODF 1.2 Assessment Documents. There is no new material.  Rob reported that, now that the ODF 1.2 CS01 Committee Specification has been achieved, we should consider that ODF 1.2 is stable and that we should move ahead on this. 

 

3. DELIVERABLES

 

3.1 ODF 1.2 Test Documents (e.g. OpenFormula, RDF)

Svante took an action item to provide some RDF files at the last meeting.  We haven't seen anything yet.

 

3.2 Best Practices of Authors.

See Action Item #0033.

 

 

Bart wants to see more tests cases on RDF metadata and asked whether there were any documents ready.  Svante reminded us that he had taken an action item on this and will submit something on the GRDDL extraction, along with a test document with what there might be as metadata in a document.  Extractions can be used for comparison with what is expected.  Also, it may be relatively easy to check the derived RDF against an expected result.

 

Bart also wants to do something on the ODF 1.2 XAdES digital signature support, perhaps in early April.  Bart takes an action item to do something on this.

 

4. ROUND TABLE

 

4.1 Rob reported on the status of ODF 1.2 CS01 being achieved.  The ODF TC is now collecting statements of use, after which ODF 1.2 CS01 could go forward to a Candidate Standard Public Review preceding an OASIS vote on approval as OASIS Standard ODF 1.2.

 

4.2 Bart is looking into digital signatures and some implementation issues around signatures in ODF documents.  Some interoperability problems seem to come up over the alternative ways of identifying the same digest algorithms being recognized consistently.  Bart also talked about the <http://code.google.com/p/eid-dss/> (LGPL 3.0) signature service and its use of some version of the Java libraries.

 

4.3 Dennis mentioned that he was working on the ODF 1.1 Errata that are needed to converge the alignment of ODF 1.1 with the corrigenda and amendments to IS 26300.

 

4.4 Bart mentioned that planning for the next ODF Plugfest is underway, but nothing is firm just yet.

 

5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

 

As established at the 2011-03-09 meeting, calls after 2011-03-30 will be at 1330 GMT, keeping the same local time for North America and Western Europe as during the Winter period.

 

Consequently, the next regularly-scheduled OIC Teleconference Meeting is on 2011-04-06 at 1330-1430 UT.

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

  Dennis E. Hamilton, OIC TC Secretary
