About ODF Plugfest 15-16 June 2009
The first of a series of events that will bring together implementors of OASIS OpenDocument Format/ISO 26300 to unilaterally test and discuss implementation issues of ODF with each other. All ODF implementors and/or those looking into the matter are invited to participate in this event on
behalf of the Netherlands government and OpenDoc Society.
The aim is to provide a low-level hands-on interoperability testing environment in which
vendors and community members can fine tune the interoperability capabilities of their ODF implementations and make test cases, recommendations and create best practices for implementors.
The ultimate goal is to achieve full seamless interoperability for the entire feature set of
ODF across all suppliers, platforms and supported technologies.
The workshop is meant for people who write and architect the code to handle the actual ODF in
applications – desktop editors and viewers, online apps, mobile, etc. Participants should represent every major team behind the various competing ODF products, their direct (technical) management and
community leaders, as well as the members of the ODF OIC committee.
The event is organised by the Dutch government programme Netherlands in Open Connection and
OpenDoc Society under auspices of the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Interior and Kingdom Relations. Over sixty companies and projects related to ODF are invited, speakers include minister of Foreign Trade Frank Heemskerk, Patrick Durusau (editor ODF), Rob Weir (cochair ODF TC), Bert Bakker (chair OpenDoc Society) and Marino Marcich (director ODF Alliance). >> For the full programme, go here. >> For a list of invitees, go here
