[Plugtest-org] draft agenda updated

[Hanssens Bart]

Louis, Fabrice,


Mm, ok, I can see the point...

But in that case I'd suggest to focus on converting legacy formats
to ODF, and have the City of Amsterdam provide some scenarios
that can be tested instead of "just" doing a presentation
(which will no doubt be very interesting, but the implementations
will benefit more from actually trying to convert "difficult" legacy)

How does that sound, say 1 or 2 hour on day 2 ?


Best regards,

Bart

I think that this (resolution of ODF/doc and also OOXML?) could be
interesting, esp. as Amsterdam represents several things--a city
that's big and migrating over, and doing so with essentially local
companies. That is, I think that other groups would be quite interested.
