Call for Tender "Office Interoperability"

Hello,
this is an official call for tender from the Open Source Business
Alliance (OSBA) Working Group "Office Interoperability".

The working group has been created to improve the interoperability of
OOXML documents between MS-Office and OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.
For this we have created a list of feature improvements for
OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice. The members of the working group are
funding the implementation
of these features by independent contractors. Please see the
specifications for details.

Andor,

Thanks for this notice. I am, however, a little uncertain how to
interpret this--please forgive my stupidity. Do you mean that with
this note you are informing the Apache OpenOffice Podling (Incubator)
members of this request that we submit a tender (i.e., a description
of how much it would cost for us to do what is wanted as described)?

I am sure that the request will find interested parties here. Thanks.

Best,
Louis
