3. DELIVERABLES / TEST CASES

3.1 Open Formula TIME

See mail thread https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oic/201205/msg00015.html No additional feedback.


3.2 Second "State of Interoperability" Report

No discussion.


3.3 Interop Advisories

No additional Advisories were created.

Louis mentions that it would be a good idea to contact the WebODF developers (i.e. Jos van den Oever) and Calligra to get additional feedback on the existing advisories and/or identify additional interop issues, that could lead to a lot more OIC TC Advisories.

Louis also expresses the concern that, since there is no deadline for publishing Advisories, there is no "pressure" for people to work on (and finish) these Advisories.
Perhaps the recurring ODF plugfests could be used as deadlines.


4. ROUND TABLE

Louis suggests to consolidate the efforts of the different TC's, perhaps the ODF Adoption TC and/or the OIC TC could move to a SC of the ODF TC.

Bart said that is has not been decided yet when (and where) the next ODF Plugfest will take place. Candidates so far: Brazil, Portugal or France (Paris). 


5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next call is 2012-06-13.


LEAVE OF ABSENCE
John said he will take a leave of absence (from June 13 through July 15, inclusive)

Bart Hanssens, OIC TC Chair
