>From the Chair, Stuart, thank you for your patience and keeping the AOO community tied into the planning for the ODF Plugfest and preparation of the booklet. It appears that the “Application Choices” convergence achieved with the suggestions from Andrea Pescetti is quite satisfactory. There have been no objections whatsoever. I appreciate that it is already evening where you are. The deadline for committing to booklet design will be early tomorrow for some of us, so I want to summarize where we stand. PLUGFEST BOOKLET SPONSORSHIP There is a simple consensus process for deliberation on travel funds, agreement to provide a sponsorship, and so on. Although it was suggested that a proposal be deliberated on, it seems to have been a non-starter. I think it’s safe to say that we will not be requesting presentation as a sponsor for the booklet. If that changes in the few hours remaining, I will let you know as soon as anything to the contrary comes to my attention (at UTC-0700). REPORTING TO THE PLUGFEST Finally, the Plugfest is only 7 days ahead of us. It might be possible to have a few slides on “ODF in the Apache OpenOffice Marketplace” for the Tuesday, 2015-09-15 session on “ODF in the market place.” This has prompted barely-tentative discussion here. Again, there has not been much headway. It is definitely something for the project to look into. I am not certain what kind of findings can be provided at this point; having anything for the Plugfest seems doubtful. The topic is still open though.

On reflection, we were not comfortable with the previously published "Application Choices" table, we feel it was not fully considered, so it will be replaced in this version. I have included the proposed replacement table at the end of this email We don't CC you on all replies, but you can find a draft of the current updates we would make to the Application Choices table (limited to the OpenOffice entry of course) at http://s.apache.org/Hoh (scroll down until the end) I have reviewed the thread, thank you for your efforts and community engagement with this. If that changes further, we'll send you an updated version by Tuesday morning European time, but you can use that version for the time being. I have made a couple of minor alterations and propose that we include the following entry: Software License Formats (file types) Platforms Support Link Notes Apache OpenOffice Open Source (ALv2) All Windows, OS X, Linux Community https://www.openoffice.org/ The default and recommended outputs are Extended ODF 1.2 documents. Third-party ports to Android, FreeBSD, OS/2 available Please advise if this is acceptable.
