[Plugtest-org] Notes of the plugfest planning meeting 22/6/2011

[Doug Mahugh]

Hi Michiel,

I'd like to follow up on the Eighth plugfest which is suggested to take place in the period of 23/4/12 to 4/5/12.  I have verified that we have space available and could offer to host that plugfest at Microsoft's EBC (Executive Briefing Center) in Brussels during April 26-27, 2012.  It's a nice facility, and at that time we'll be free to go into full detail on our ODF plans for the next release of Office, which I think attendees will find interesting.

Let me know if this would be of interest, and I'll reserve the space and provide all of the logistical details.

Regards,
Doug

Dear all,


thanks to those that attended the plugfest planning phone conference yesterday and to those that sent apologies. A short summary:

- organisation of all practical matters for the Berlin plugfest is
  going well

- we still have some room for new scenario's in the program, so if you
  know of interop issues that you have between application - claim a
  scenario.

- the Seventh plugfest will be held in The Netherlands on November
  17/18th 2011, hosted by the Netherlands government programme
  'Netherlands in Open Connection'

We still welcome candidates for the organisation of the plugfest after that (which is suggested to take place in the period of 23/4/12 to 4/5/12).

Kind regards,
Michiel Leenaars

P.S. I promised to send some information about the Open Standards law that was recently approved in Portugal. Here is a link to a press release at the time. If people are interested, I'm sure the kind people at ESOP will be happy to answer any questions and provide pointers to more detailed info.

Greetings,

The Portuguese Parliament has recently approved a Law for the adoption of Open Standards on public IT systems.

ESOP hopes this is truly the first step into the end of interoperability problems that make IT systems excessively expensive and hard to operate.

For more information we have attached a Press Release on the subject.

You can also have access to the sent Press Release through the link:

We kindly appreciate the attention given.
