Dennis,
Thank you for supporting this initiative and providing the response from
the AOO community. I will include the AOO entry in the Application
Choices table as proposed.
Should AOO choose to feature as a sponsor for 100GBP per language
(English & Dutch), you will need to let Basil know by 14:00 GMT in order
that the design can be updated.
Your participation would be welcome if it can be arranged, but fully
understand if it cannot due to the short notice on this occasion. For
future ODF Plugfests, we will try to provide sufficient notice for you
to debate and prepare in good time.
Best regards,
Stuart.
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.
Regards,
-Dennis

Andrea,
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.
Best regards,
Stuart.
