3. DELIVERABLES / TEST CASES

3.1 Interop Advisories, <http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/Advisories/> and <http://wiki.oasis-open.org/oic/InteropAdvisories>

It had been agreed in early September that Draft Advisories would be reviewed at this time for possible advancement to Candidate Advisories.  The current list of draft advisories was reviewed.

00002 - Trailing slash in URIs of embedded documents
No action is taken.  Dennis reported that there had been controversy with Svante on this one and it would be good to go another round.

00004 - Defining Cell Ranges for Chart Series
Andreas took the action to check to see if ODF 1.2 provides a resolution for this issue that can be applied with regard to ODF 1.0/1.1 usage.  This is Action #0043

00005 - Line-through style/type interaction unclear
Bart took an action item to have this advisory cover the cases better.  As currently written, it is not clear that the advisory deals with case when on but not the other is present, versus their both being present.  This is Action #0042

00006 - ODF 1.2 SHA256 URI Corrections
The OIC is requested to review this one for consideration of approval as a candidate advisory.

00007 - Table rows / table-columns interoperability
The analysis was questioned, especially that there is no recommendation to the ODF TC. As written, it appears that the table-rows and table-columns elements are irrelevant.  Although they can be successfully ignored according to the semantics given in ODF 1.2, processors should accept and ignore them.  There remains the question of whether or not the semantics given for these is inadequate/incorrect with regard to the intention of the ODF 1.0 authors or that things have been lost in translation somewhere along the way.  Whether this is every implemented also came into question.

00008 - Digital Signature Namespace
This one is was new on 2011-09-20.  Dennis walked through it.  It was pointed out that it is very difficult to create test cases for this, since existing implementations won't verify the signature that deviates from the expected namespace treatment.  Bart will provide the location of his Groovy script and a test document that can be used to demonstrate good signatures not being recognized.


4. ROUND TABLE
 

4.1 ODF Status
ODF 1.2 has been approved as an OASIS Standard.  ODF 1.3 work is in progress and errata for 1.2 are also accumulating.  Dennis reported that Errata for 1.2 will probably not be published until after ODF 1.2 is submitted to ISO and any changes/corrections required in a Ballot Review are retrofitted to 1.2 via Errata 01 or other means.

4.2 The new Plugfest site is now on-line at <http://odfplugfest.org/>.  The wiki is still at <http://plugtest.opendocsociety.org/doku.php>.


5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next teleconference meeting is October 19.


Respectfully submitted,

  Dennis E. Hamilton, OIC TC Secretary
