Developers Gather for ODF Day (Yahoo Business)
Yahoo Business reports on ODF
Day at Akademy. "The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) Desktop
Linux (DTL) group, NLnet, and the KDE open source development community
recently hosted an ODF Day at aKademy 2006. This year the leading open
source developers from the KDE community were joined by senior technical
staff member representatives from Intel and IBM for a day of seminars and
technical talks on the many facets of software development opportunities
enabled by the new ISO/IEC 263000 (OpenDocument Format) international
standard." (Found on KDE.News)

GPLv3 talk from the end of the day Posted Oct 3, 2006 14:35 UTC (Tue) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link] I gave a talk on GPLv3 at the end of ODF day. Not very related, but I recorded it and put the video online and wanted to mention it somewhere before it goes stale:
Developers Gather for ODF Day (Yahoo Business) Posted Oct 12, 2006 2:04 UTC (Thu) by roelofs (guest, #2599) [Link] ... the new ISO/IEC 263000 (OpenDocument Format) international standard ...First of all, the press release has a typo; the ISO/IEC number is 26300 (ISO Catalogue Detail Page). Second, there appears to be some disagreement over what the actual status is--it definitely isn't published as an IS yet, and it may not even have passed FDIS ("final draft international standard") balloting. The link above shows it's at stage 50.00 as of two days ago, which is immediately before the FDIS ballot begins. (But it may have been proposed as a "fast-track" standard, in which case it's apparently possible to skip from DIS ballot to IS status. If so, it's weird that the status doesn't show stage 60.00 or something close to it...) See also the discussion page for the Wikipedia article. Greg
