I plan to initiate a Birds-of-a-Feather session (BoFs) at the upcoming Apache Conference Europe (Sevilla, Spain November 16-18) <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe> on office document formats.
It would be a good opportunity to meet interested parties of office document formats in person. Especially I am interested to meet up with members of the Apache POI project people to 1. Discuss a potential merger with our incubating project (we come to them), combining all office formats in a single Apache project, ending finally our incubating status. 2. Give a quick presentation on the introduction of the ODF Toolkit, while some POI people could do so similar. 3. Talk about advanced document collaboration and how they might go a similar ways, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-441 I could give a quick presentation as well. I have not contacted anyone from POI, yet. I know it is a little late as today is the last submission day, but the details of the BOFs might be arranged still shortly before the session or we vote during the session. Any instant comments or suggestions, before I contact the POI people? Cheers, Svante ᐧ
