OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC

Hi Patrick,

Any idea on the next steps with ODF 1.0 Errata 01?  Since we completed 
this Approved Errata back last November, there has been complete silence 
on it in SC34.  It has not even made it onto an SC34 or WG agenda.   Do we 
need to do something to get this moving? 

Since OASIS is only a liaison we do not have the ability to initiate a New 
Work Item in SC34.  But the new ad-hoc on ODF Maintenance they are 
creating doesn't meet until mid September. Is there a way we can get the 
Errata moving along sooner in a way that respects both the urgency 
expressed by SC34 when they originally submitted their defect report, as 
well as our recently agreed to maintenance procedures that calls for SC34 
to keep ISO/IEC 26300 in synch with OASIS ODF. 

Could you bring this up with SC34 leadership and report back on what their 
recommended next steps are?

Thanks,

-Rob

Rob,

I will send off a note today.

Should have an answer and suggested way forward by our next TC meeting.

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick

Patrick,

I just noticed that I don't see our Approved Errata 01 listed in the 
JTC1/SC34 document repository, although I did send a courtesy note to Sam, 
Kimura-san and Alex back last November when it was first approved.

Could you, as our newly-appointed liaison, officially transmit this 
document to the Secretariat and WG1 Convenor, with a courtesy cc to Sam 
and Francis, and ask for NB's to be informed of its existence? 

I realize that there may be extra work required by you to get this into 
Technical Corrigenda form, but we have told SC34 that we would transmit 
all relevant OASIS documents when approved, and our Approved Errata, in 
its current form certainly is one of them.   This is also in line with the 
wishes expressed by SC34 in their N0847 where they wrote to us: "SC 34 
requests that the OASIS ODF TC respond to these defect reports in a timely 
fashion and publish errata in accordance with OASIS procedures. "  I think 
they are overdue an official notification that we have done this. 

Thanks!

Regards,

-Rob
