Past experience has shown developers and technical management from larger and smaller vendors as well as community leaders have valued the chance to attend and work on real world interoperability.
Join us in Gouda
The ODF plugfests are an ongoing series of vendor-neutral events, bringing together implementers and stakeholders of the standard. The goal is to achieve maximum interoperability by running scenario-based tests in a hands-on manner and discuss new and proposed features of the ODF specification.
The seventh ODF plugfest took place in The Netherlands on November 17/18th 2011, hosted by the Netherlands in Open Connection government programme, OpenDoc Society and the Dutch ODF government usergroup. The programme consiste of three separate events the attendees could choose from, depending on their interests:
