2. STATUS OF ACTION ITEMS
  #0015 Template Scenarios.  No progress.  Still open.
  #0034 Interop Demo Videos.  This action is closed.  Anything further will happen voluntarily by anyone in a position to obtain and edit the videos to reasonable chunks.  For future plugfests we want to make more timely arrangements.  Also, there was suggestion that demos should be made using special tools, such as screencasts, rather than attempting to capture live videos of demos.
  #0041 Battery of ODF 1.2 Assessment Documents. This is on hold while Rob focuses on Best Practices for Authors.  Dennis mentioned some cases he found while doing some package-level forensics that might be good for advisories and related tests.
 
    
3. DELIVERABLES


3.1 ODF 1.2 Test Documents
Examples include OpenFormula (we have some) and RDF.  
Bart is also interested in Digital Signatures and Dennis asked about the tool that is being used for a signature service that Bart talks about from time to time.  Bart said the European one is based on EID cards, so might not be an useful case for others.  Dennis was interested in how signatures were injected into the package.  To do any kind of testing and forensic analysis in this area, it is necessary to be able to create valid signatures in order to build tests around them.  Bart said they use the basic Java 6 crypto with extension for the XaDES part.  Bart has a script on the OIC SVN that might be useful for ideas: <http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/oic/TestSuite/branches/barth/odf12/misc/odfsign.groovy>.
 
3.2 Best Practices of Authors.
Rob has uploaded an initial working draft that is now available for comments.  It gives the structure and sense of the tone, but doesn't have much content yet.  Rob requests feedback.  He wants to work on two-week iterations with feedback to get to a 10-12 page Committee Note.  The goal is having a CND for Public Review in the next two months.

3.3 State of Interoperability Report
We need a new State of Interoperability ready in September-October to make a Committee Note by early December, basically one year since the previous one appeared as a Committee Specification.

4. ROUND TABLE
4.1 The ODF TC has voted to submit ODF 1.2 Committee Specification 01 as a Candidate OASIS Standard.  It appears that if nothing unusual happens in the Administrative Review and the subsequent Candidate Standard Public Review, we are around three months away from OASIS Standard.

4.2 ISO 1.1 Alignment amendment is under ballot at SC34 and it will likely be approved in June, with ODF 1.1 becoming part of the ISO version of the ODF Standard.

4.3 The ODF Plugfest is now in Berlin, Th-Fr July 14-15, 2011.  There may also be an ODF event in Budapest but there are no details.

4.4 An ODF-Next workshop/symposium was proposed in the Monday ODF TC Teleconference Meeting.  OASIS is being consulted to see how to contributions from non-TC participants can be acceptable from such an event.  Louis also responded to the ODF TC discussion but his e-mail has apparently not gone through.


5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING
The next call is in two weeks, on 2011-06-01.
 
Respectfully submitted,
  Dennis E. Hamilton, OIC TC Secretary
