Drafting "Tender to finish transition of LibreOffice to ODF 1.3 (ODF 1.3 delta)"

[floeff]

Hello,

one of the approved [1] tenders is the

Tender to finish transition of LibreOffice to ODF 1.3 (ODF 1.3 delta)

I would like to especially thank Regina Henschel for her amazing volunteer work on both this and the previous ODF 1.3 tender - it's a true pleasure to work with you!

The board would like to work together in public with all of you on this tender before it gets officially published. The current draft is therefore shared at

https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/59Nd4Tdn4Emkcaz

The shared folder consists of two files:

* ODF 1.3 delta Tender.odt
This is the very first draft of the tender, currently less or more our tender template that we will fill with content.

* ODF 1.3 delta Items.ods
This spreadsheet created by Regina (thanks so much!) lists all the tasks and items for this tender. The column "Complexity/Comments (notes taken on the phone)" is the notes I took while being on the phone with Regina - let me know any glitches or inaccuracies of mine you find.

The board is happy to get your feedback and proposals. We'd like to discuss this in the board call after the next, i.e. on Friday, July 31, at 1300 Berlin time. Please send your feedback to the public board-discuss@documentfoundation.org mailing list.

Those with a conflict of interest (i.e. potential bidders) will be excluded from the point on the tender is published and evaluated.

Looking forward to your feedback, and thanks again to Regina!
Florian

item: Wrong icon of master document template in Windows Explorer

It might be, that it is not only the icon, but the system integration might be wrong too. I have added a comment about it to the bug description. It would be good if someone with Windows could test it and add a comment to the bug:
Create a new master document.
Save it as master document template.
Save is as master document.
Look what options (New or Open of both) you get from the context menu of the file, and what happens, when you use the option.

Kind regards
Regina

thanks a lot for the heads-up!
I've removed the comment about "design only" in the tender draft, but kept the bug ID reference, so potential bidders can see the issue.
