3.1 Second "State of Interoperability" Report

There has been no progress on this report.

On the OIC List, <https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oic/201206/msg00015.html>, Rob Weir provided a link to work that might be relevant to the assessment and perhaps other work.  This is at the Fraunhofer FOKUS "Center for Interoperability", <http://www.interoperability-center.com/en/dokumenten-iop-lab>.  The final report on Document Profiling (PDF) may be relevant and possibly applicable as well.  It also addresses means for profiles that support interoperability among ODF implementations as well as among OOXML implementations and between ODF and OOXML.


3.3 Interop Advisories

#00008 on Digital Signature Namespace awaits confirmation of the test documents.
<https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/Advisories/00008-DSig_Namespaces/trunk/description.html>
See the Action Item #0047 note.

#00009 on Protection-Key Safety is essentially complete.
<https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/Advisories/00009-ProtectionKeySafety/trunk/description.html>
Dennis reported that there will be an update of the ODF proposal from 1.05 to 1.06 before the end of August.  That will lead to minor updates to the #00009 draft.

4. FOLDING ADOPTION TC / OIC TC/ ...

There was no report for this call.

Dennis observed that the ODF Adoption TC Chair has posted a recommendation that the ODF Adoption TC declare victory and close.  The suggestion is to possibly provide an adoption forum as a subcommittee of the ODF TC.

5. ROUND TABLE

Dennis gave his farewell speech as Secretary and Voting Member of the OIC TC.  He intends to continue contributions without attending the calls.  Dennis pointed out that the OIC chat is a good place to take notes on the agenda while the Chair will also be producing the minutes.

Bart confirmed that the next PlugFest will be colocated with the LibreOffice 2012 Conference in Berlin, October 16-19.

6. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next call will be on 2012-08-08 at the usual time.
