Acceptance of Minutes from Last Call
-----------------------------------------------------
The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes.


Action Items
------------
Michael: create errata document
- ongoing
Patrick: ISO submission status
- ongoing
Florian, Lars: draft proposal for RDF mapping
- done

TC Discussion:
--------------

Gary: there should be a way for people that left TC to contribute work
to the TC

Lars: this should be the soon-to-be-available users mailing list. Don't
know about IPR status for outside contributions - this needs to be clarified

-> Action: Lars to find out about policies for outside contributions

Nathaniel: IBM and Sun will be hosting an "OpenDocument Summit" Event 
together in New York State on the 4th of November. All TC members are 
invited

(All: this is on very short notice.)

Nathaniel: focus of event:
- follow through on current momentum of OpenDocument especially in
open-source context
- discuss possibilities for a more widespread adoption of OpenDocument
- Give TC members a possibility to meet in person


Metadata/RDF:
Draft for mapping OpenDocument meta data to RDF:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200510/msg00017.html

Patrick: the notation used for anonymous nodes is not clear
David: the underscore notation used in the RDF primer will be clearer

Florian: feedback is needed on usage of meta:value-type vs. rdf:type
We feel, that meta:value type is the better choice, because we don't
allow types, that rdf:type would allow. Thus the semantic/meaning is
different from that of rdf:type

Florian: keywords could be mapped to an rdf:bag container

New Action Items
----------------
Lars, Florian: continue work on RDF mapping proposal
