    Yes. Let me get finalization on this. The OOo site is back up, easing  
    communication.

    That's unknown. I can pass it by the OOo project involved (as can you  
    and anyone), namely, the German one. OOo is fairly distributed in its  
    regional processes, with the exception of OOoCon and a few other events.
    
    I'll send the note and cc you to the DE project leads.

    Hi all,
    
    Thanks Louis!
    
    *I suppose before you spend a lot of time pursuing these options with OOo
    Con we should get a reading on the number of people interested in each
    activity:
    1.	ODF Workshop
    2.	OASIS ODF InterOp
    
    *Another option is an ODF webinar. The WS-BPEL webinar was a huge success.
    
    *I have heard from Erwin Tenhumberg and he is interested in making a
    presentation at TEKOM:

    Dee,
    
    Sorry, this got buried in the sludge of spam that's my inbox.

    Yes.
    
    I need to work with you here.  The OOoCon people, cc'd here (Jordi  
    Mas, Jesús Corrius, John McCreesh, OOo's Marketing Lead), have  
    agreed, more or less, to the proposed schedule of a workshop on day 1  
    (19 Sept.) and the Interop or presentation half day on day 3, 21  
    Sept.  The most important day is day 1, the workshop.
    
    We have also agreed on having panels on ODF throughout the  
    conference; the workshop would just be a special and specially  
    intense day of work.
    
    I have also added Dieter Loeschky of Sun, who expressed strong  
    interest in the workshop when it was first mentioned.

    that's possible but not sure how it would work. I think it may be  
    reasonable to assume that as all the panels will be recorded, we'll  
    have opportunity for webinars galore.
    
    
    Okay, Dee and others.
    
    Here is how we need to work together.
    
    1. OASIS has to contact Jesus and Jordi, cc'ing me, about its  
    interest in helping fund or put on the ODF Workshop and OASIS ODF  
    Interop. If no funding, fine; but we need to be clear there.
    
    2. OASIS has to work with me in contacting wold-be participants.  I  
    can contact some of them, but I'm focused on OOoCon itself.  The  
    members of this list can surely help here, as they include the  
    stakeholders.
    
    But I'd like to see:
    
    * IBM, Novell, Sun, Oracle, KOffice, AbiWord, Corel, Google, Redflag,  
    etc. Basically all those implementing ODF.  I need help in brining  
    them to this table.
    
    If you (whoever you are) can help, please coordinate by cc'ing this  
    list and me, Jordi, Jesus, John. We can also use an OOo list, but as  
    this is fairly specific to ODF, I'd rather have one created on OASIS.
    .
    The workshop will be for developers and should really be designed and  
    structure with the expectation of producing results. :-)
    
    
    ** Establishing the rules of the game. As I see it, the objective is  
    to normalize results. (I'm avoiding all mention of "compliance" etc,  
    though they are inevitable and will be used, I hope, in the  
    workshop).  But users should be able to expect that when they create  
    a file with one implementation and open it with another, they will  
    see and be able to edit more or less the same document.
    
    I'd like to propose then a short committee to sketch out the  
    parameters.  Perhaps one composed of Dieter and Rob, for starters?  
    The obvious idea is just to draw up realistic expectations of what  
    can be done and how.
    
    And I'd like to see if we can set a timetable for this.  Perhaps the  
    first deadline would be for drafting the objectives; the second for  
    sending out invitations.  For the first, then, I'd like to propose 8  
    June, if that is not too soon.
    
    Thanks!
    
    Best
    Louis
