Hi "ecosystem",

for some of the nice feature of the ODF extension, like MS Word import and export and PDF generation via OpenOffice.org you need OpenOffice.org installed on your server and running as daemon. You can follow the instatlation guide from documentation:
http://ez.no/doc/extensions/odf_import_export

But before:

Install http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/

then follow docs ( install marcro etc.) but before starting the daemon with cli, open extension/ezodf/daemon.php with a PHP editor and change line 40:

$ooexecutable = "openoffice.org-2.0";

into

$ooexecutable = "/Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice";

That's all and now you can work with it and perhaps you want to offer some money for the open funding of PDF templates for cooler PDFs out of eZ Publish:

Tested with:
XAMPP for MacOS X 0.7.0, 7. October 2007 (PHP 4.4.7)

ezpublish-3.10.0
