DII Workshop on Office SP2 and ODF

A quick mention.

Doug Mahugh is outlining a workshop that will be held on Microsoft’s Campus in Redmond on July 30th, principally looking at some of the document format interoperability work that will be going into Microsoft Office SP2.

We’re holding a workshop in Redmond on July 30 to talk about our ODF support in Office 2007 SP2. This is a free workshop that we’re doing as part of our Document Interoperability Initiative, to share information with the developer community and solicit feedback on how we can work together to improve interoperability.

We initially invited the members of the ODF TC, but it looks like we may have a few more slots open, so I thought I’d extend the invitation more broadly. I can’t guarantee that we’ll have room for everyone who would like to attend, but please let me know if you’re interested and I’ll see if we can get you in. Priority will be given to those who are working with the ODF format, including developers who are implementing ODF, organizations that are using ODF, and persons who are contributing to the evolution and maintenance of the ODF standard.

He has his email address included in the post, contact him if you are wanting to attend.

For anybody based here in Asia I’m aware that it is a long trip, but I’m hoping that there will be some participation from the region. The workshop is the week after OSCON in Portland, so there is a chance that there will be some folks who are already planning on making the trip to the Pacific Northwest around this time.
