3. DELIVERABLES
 
 
3.1 ODF 1.2 Test Documents
We talked about the Apache OpenOffice.org version proposed to become a reference implementation of ODF. 
  < http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html>
  Members of the OIC have an opportunity to participate.
  Andreas is concerned about qualification of OpenOffice.org as it exists as a reference implementation because there seems to be no clarity around deviations, extensions, omissions, etc.
  The possibility of collecting test cases there and making them available throughout the eco-system led to wondering about what OIC is charged to do.  [Afterthought: Perhaps it is that we have test documents but not test definitions that are translated to a specific implementation, which a reference implementation may provide?]
  There is perhaps an opportunity for some harmony of Apache with what OIC puts together.  We are not pushing OO.o in any way.

3.2 Best Practices of Authors.
We did not discuss this in Rob's absence.
 
 
4. ROUND TABLE
 
4.1 The Plugfest is July 14-15 in Berlin.  The web site is being created now, 
<http://odfplugfest.de/>.  This one is being organized by two ministries of the German Federal Government.
 
4.2 There's a Budapest International Symposium on the Value of ODF and Open Standards, June 28.  Organizers include EuroOffice, Oracle Hungary, Budapest U of Tech and Economics, others.
 

5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING
There is no meeting on June 29.  Bart will be traveling.

The next call is in four weeks, on 2011-07-13.

Respectfully submitted,

  Dennis E. Hamilton, OIC TC Secretary
