[ODFPlugtest] ODF interop at DII event in Brussels tomorrow

[Michiel Leenaars]

Hello all,

(slightly off topic question, but relevant to many members of this list)

Doug Mahugh from Microsoft mentioned in Orvieto that there is an event 
organised by his company which will take place in Brussels tomorrow where he 
is talking about ODF-based interoperability. That will probably be very 
interesting, especially in the light of the outcome of the plugfest - where as 
you will remember one of the outcomes was that probably quite some features of 
Microsoft Office 2007 are unnecessarily broken when saving in ODF due to the 
missed fact that vector graphics in ODF consuming applications can use the 
full W3C SVG specification non-embedded rather than just the built-in subset 
meant for supporting low level graphics. I'm hopeful Doug will be able to give 
an update on that, given the timelines for their Office 2010 release.

But now to my actual question: I'm trying to find out where the event tomorrow 
will be, and when. The DII website from Microsoft itself unfortunately doesn't 
yet mention the workshop, and the mail address Doug provides on his blog 
bounces. Doug himself is wandering about Brussels taking pictures. So if 
anyone is attending, can you help me out?

Best,
Michiel Leenaars
