At the personal invitation of the Dutch minister of Foreign trade, Mr.Heemskerk, members of the OASIS ODF TC and OIC TC, core developers and other technical experts worked side-by-side at a plugfest in The Hague to actively discuss and improve interoperability. Various well-known and lesser-known implementations were tested, including AbiWord, EuroOffice, GoogleDocs, KOffice, MS-Office,  the ODF-converter, OpenOffice.org and Symphony. Driven by the succes of this event, participants decided to continue their test work on a on-going basis using the wiki, kindly provided by the OpenDoc Society. This web-based hands-on approach allows implementers all around the globe to participate in and benefit from a collective effort, making ODF an even better standard than it is today. More info can be found on the <a href="http://plugtest.opendocsociety.org">public wiki</a>.

The Dutch government program, Netherlands in Open Connection, and the OpenDoc Society cosponsored the two-day ODF “plugfest” at the Royal Library in The Hague, 15-16 June 2009,  where vendors and open source projects were able to test ODF capabilities with each other in real-world, collaborative scenarios. OASIS TC chairs, Bart Hanssens, (ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC), and Rob Weir (co-Chair ODF TC), participated and delivered presentations.  The details are posted <a href="http://www.odfworkshop.nl/">here</a>. The 'plug-fest' was notable for the broad participation from industry and open source communities. Participants included representatives from Microsoft, IBM, Google, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Red Hat, OpenForum Europe, Feng Office, EuroOffice, AbiWord, OpenOffice, Dialogika, and open source communities. During the closing session, participants were invigorated, and declared the effort a success. Future work will continue in a 'virtual plugfest' format, with potential face-to-face gatherings planned for later in 2009. <br />
