  #0046 Update Advisory 00007 - easy to do, no progress yet
    
3. DELIVERABLES / TEST CASES

3.1 Other Interop Advisories

The other advisories that are not yet candidates:

#00002 in progress
#00007 pending
#00008 has more test documents on digital signatures.  John Haug believes that the next version of Office handles them.  Svante believes the ODF Toolkit will get them right as well.  There needs to
be some affirmative test that the documents that fail for so many consumers are actually correct and pass someone's consumer software
#00009 no progress

Bart encouraged those who have ideas for other scenarios and advisories to start something.

3.2 Second "State of Interoperability" Report

This is not expected before the Plugfest.  The only material on the wiki is related to the previous edition and it wasn't clear where ideas for the next one should be put.


3.3 Other Deliverables

None were discussed.

4. ODF EVENTS

4.1 ODF Plugfest, April 19-20, 2012, <http://www.odfplugfest.org> 

Another call is needed.  Bart is going to ping the Plugfest List to schedule a call.  Jim Thatcher of Microsoft has agreed to host the call.

There are a few scenarios available at the plugfest wiki.  Svante talked about the problem of collaborating when some of the styles are implementation dependent, leading to collaborators having different implementations having unsatisfactory collaboration experiences.

There is some discussion about that case on the mailing list.


4.2 Other events

There was no discussion of other events.

5. ROUND TABLE

Dennis remarked on the ISO submission of ODF 1.2 starting to ramp up.

Louis recommended that the OIC coordinate more with the ODF Adoption TC.  The overlapping memberships include Bart, Louis, Don Harbison, and Rob Weir.  Louis took the opportunity to provide a liaison report from the preceding day's ODF Adoption TC call.  There is interest in expanding the participation at OASIS.  There is also interest in having ODF supported for both reading and authoring on mobile devices, extending beyond what is done with readers for ePub and PDF.

On test documents, Svante noticed that there might be an issue with regard to copyright on the documents that the OIC has, including the documents that go with some of our advisories.

6. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next call will be on 2012-04-04 at 1330 UTC.  At that time, everyone participating from North America and Europe will be on Summer Time.



Respectfully submitted,

  Dennis E. Hamilton, OIC TC Secretary
