DII Event London, May 18, 2009

Published 18 May 09 05:42 AM

Welcome to Victoria Station in London!

We are only hours away from the start of the Document Interoperability Initiative event in London, and I am very excited about today’s event. I was able to have dinner with some attendees last night and catch up on both personal and technical topics.

One topic that seemed to take stage at dinner was Interoperability and Extensibility. I will be presenting on this topic at the event, and will share the details of my presentation in a future post. One topic that people want to discuss with Fraunhofer FOKUS is their recent report on interoperability between IS29500 and ODF. The main topic of the event is their new IS29500 Test Document Library and Validator project.

I need to get back to preparing for the event; however, I will share details about the event later in the week. For now, here is the agenda for today.
