*According to Martin, the current proposal has to be reworked. It is being worked on.<br>
 
*It has been clarified to provide this "open slot" on a regular basis (e.g. monthly, or each CC meeting).<br>
 
*Proposal: Martin will provide a new proposal in the next few days.<br>

*New proposal has been sent to the list by Jürgen ([http://council.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=2505 here]). The basic idea is to provide bounties instead of contracting one writer.<br>
 
*For any proposal, the development budget may require an upgrade. Matthias, Stefan and Martin will provide a proposal (Cor will join, see 2010-03-04#5).
 
*Juergen talked with Clayton and they will come up with some drafts for the first bounties and in relation to the drafts with a set of basic rules/guideline that are necessary to run such a bounty program (see [http://council.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=2540 mail on council-discuss]). <br>
 
*Next steps:
 
**Juergen will summarize some information on a wiki page.<br>
 
**Budget discussion will be continued in next CC meeting. It is assumed that there will be more information on how much will be provided for each work package.
 
 
*No real update, simply because the lack of time
 
**Clayton and i are working on a wiki page to present/describe the idea of bounties and to present the first 4-5 bounty ideas. I expect that we can publish it soon, currently we make slow progress because of vacation or general unavailability.
 
*We have prepared the [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Bounties initial wiki] page (still a draft) and have described the first two bounties. More bounties will coming soon ... We already have some more ideas but we want to talk with some people about it before we put it as a bounty in the wiki. Important at this point was to define the basic rules and conditions for the bounty program. If there are no complaints we plan to announce the bounty program next week.

*We have been informed that Google refuses projects from OpenOffice.org. It had been decided before to go for the own "OpenOffice.org Internship" in that situation.
 
*A draft for the internship program is worked out ([[OpenOffice.org Internship|here]]). All CC members are asked to comment this proposal on the CC mailing list before Tuesday March 23.
 
*Budget may be possible issue, since required for here and for documentation (AI 2010-03-04#4). Cor will join the discussion to work on a proposal.
 
*Next steps:
 
**Cor joins the the budget discussion.
 
**Prepare approval and launch asap.

*Request by a community member to discuss / decide the following question: "''Why should OpenOffice.org give away it's presence on the user's desktop - the main place to be recognized by the people - only to support the "application independency" of ODF?'' A Sun employee stated "The idea of supporting ODF as a application independent open standard is the priority." This leads / will lead to changes with regard to the document and application icon design. The current ODF "only" icons seem to be undesired by the community. Original request to the CC on ooo-discuss: [http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=65958 initial mail (2010-04-14)], [http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?listName=discuss&from=2361081&to=2361081&count=28&by=thread&first=1&windowSize=1000 full mail thread]

* 5 of 6 project finished successful. One project is put on hold by a request of the student because the lack of time. We offered to finish this project later after the exam when the student has more time again.<br>
**Some members stated that the request should be "more actionable" and "better framed" to be decided by the community.  
+
* all projects had a good outcome which will result in a future office release or where we can at least use it as more than a good start point for further work on this topic/feature.<br>
