On a related noted, Rob uploaded a draft of "Best Practices for Authoring Interoperable ODF Documents"
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=46613&wg_abbrev=oic
Bart noted that it is a good start, but it needs of course some work, everyone is invited to mail comments and/or update the document.


3.2 Interop Advisories

No new Advisories and no updates.


4. ROUND TABLE

Nothing to report from Andreas or John.
Bart noted there has been no communication on the ODF plugfest mailing list about the progress of organizing the next ODF plugfest.
He will check with the ODF plugfest organizers.


5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

Bart suggested that, due to the limited number of participants and their location/timezone, the start of the conference call could be shifted.
However, Andreas noted that this would not be easier for him (as he would be commuting / giving classes)
So the conference call will continue to start at the usual time.

The August 22nd conference call will be canceled: Bart will be on a holiday.
The next call will be on September 5th, at the usual time.
