[ODFPlugtest] next plugfest: November 2nd/3rd in Italy

[Hanssens Bart]

Hi Mingfei,


the ODF plugfest will be near the OOoCon but it will be a separate, vendor-neutral event. 


It's mainly for pratical reasons: many participants will be there for OOo anyway (Sun, OOo team,
IBM, and perhaps Google, Novell, Oracle and others... and members from OASIS ODF/Adoption
OIC TC's), so it might have been difficult for them to get travel arrangements approved for an
additional event at a different location... 

By the way, the OpenOffice.org conference itself will probably have some general presentations
on ODF interoperability (perhaps more OOo-focused) as well, but the separate ODF plugfest will
really focus on getting some real work done like in The Hague (so that means testing MS-Office,
KOffice, OOo, Symphony, Abiword, Gnumeric, EuroOffice, GoogleDocs, ODF-OOXML converter,
ODF plugin...)



I'm preparing a few pages about the event on the plugfest wiki:

Those who are interested can already take a look at the meeting minutes from the last
conference call about this topic:

Best regards,

Bart

This plugfest is part of OOoCon, or is an independent con just held in parallel with OOoCon?
