3. THE OIC TC IN 2013

Bart questions what the TC really can deliver in 2013, given the limited resources.
It is clear what could / should be done (creating a set of test files, for instance), but the TC Members
(including Bart) often lack the time to work on deliverables.

All TC members are encouraged to post suggestions and ideas on realistic targets for 2013.


4. DELIVERABLES / TEST CASES

4.1 Second "State of Interoperability" Report

Bart has uploaded a working draft of the "2nd State of Interoperability" report.
The comments on the OIC TC Wiki and the first "State of Interoperability report" served as input.
Some more "beef" should be added to the report, perhaps by adding some test files to demonstrate
know issues.
See https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=47839&wg_abbrev=oic

As per procedure, he has asked OASIS to provide a template for a Committee Note (White Paper style)
Apparently there is no ODT template available, but OASIS will produce the template.

4.2 Other Interop Advisories

No new advisories and no updates.


5. ROUND TABLE

* No comments from Peter.

* Bart mentions that there are a few candidates for a next ODF plugfest in 2013 (Slovakia, Portugal, ...),
but none of the candidates has been able to confirm that they can provide the facilities to host the event.


6. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next call will be on January 23rd, 14:30 UTC.
