From Carol Geyer, Senior Director of Communications and Development
and the Oasis representative helping us put the interop demo on:

What: OASIS ODF 1.2 Interoperability Demonstration

Where: OpenOffice.org Conference 2010

Central European University

Budapest, Hungary

When: 2 September 2010

Six independent implementations of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) will be

orchestrated in a real-world scenario to demonstrate the value of an

independent, open document file format. Hosted by OASIS, the international

open standards consortium, the ODF 1.2 Interop will showcase applications

processing ODF documents on the desktop, in the cloud and on mobile devices.

A variety of open source and commercial software will be featured, including

IBM Lotus Symphony, KOffice, lpOD (ODF Python Library), Oracle ODF Toolkit

for Java, OpenOffice, and Novell Go-OO.

Real documents from the Louvre Labst will be used in the demonstration,

ranging from simple internal service messages and notes to master thesis and

complex spreadsheets with diagrams displaying scientific data.

Free press passes will be available. For details, contact Carol Geyer
