2. STATUS OF ACTION ITEMS
  #0015 Template Scenarios.  Still in progress.
  #0034 Interop Demo Videos.  Bart still has to copy DVDs for Louis.  There was discussion about what the work items are to turn the raw video into postable segments and how Bart could get help.  The key first step is to ensure that the DVDs can be copied.  The there are parts that others can help with.
  #0041 Battery of ODF 1.2 Assessment Documents. This is still at the conceptual level beyond what was done with OpenFormula.  No new material at this point. 
 
    
3. DELIVERABLES


3.1 ODF 1.2 Test Documents
ODF 1.2 Committee Specification 01 is now frozen, so it is safe to rely on this specification to begin building test documents.
   Svante is vacationing but he has offered something involving RDF.
   Bart has been looking at digital signatures.  He thinks he can adjust his test documents slightly to work for ODF 1.2.  Bart is wondering if there is anything new for digital signatures for Symphony and Microsoft Office, as well.
   Louis is wondering if what Bart is looking for goes beyond the ODF specification and if Bart could be specific, maybe the OO.o folk could handle it as a feature.  Louis mentioned that the Spanish government had some requests concerning digital signatures as well.  Bart said he would send information on implementation of digital signatures that "they" want handled.
   Bart mentioned accessibility as another area and one that governments pay attention to concerning accessible content.
   Rob mentioned that tables in presentations and also RDF are relevant to accessibility.
   ACTION: Rob will send a link to the accessibility white papers on the ODF TC site and we can look to see if there is enough detail that test cases can be defined.
   Cherie posted two links relevant to accessibility also:
        <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20-TECHS/pdf.html>
        <http://www.w3.org/QA/2010/10/new_and_improved_wcag_20_techn.html>

 
3.2 Best Practices of Authors.
 
Rob says there is nothing new at this point.  There can be more after ODF 1.2 is fully out of ODF TC hands.
 
4. ROUND TABLE
4.1 We are invited to respond as OASIS Members to the draft Technical Activities Board Guidelines on Testability, Interoperability, and Conformance, Interoperability, and Portability Testing Procedures and Practices.  
4.2 There is still no official confirmation for the next plugfest, but it is expected to be in Germany in mid-July 2011.

5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING
The next call is on 2011-05-04.  We continue our regular 2-week meeting intervals.
 
Respectfully submitted,
  Dennis E. Hamilton, OIC TC Secretary
