I guess I could ask Sys Team to give access 10:48:20 AE: I guess Doug is busy with a lot of other stuff 10:48:39 ... if it was in the public repository 10:48:45 ... might be able to be published 10:48:56 CL: Problem is when you check it into the new place 10:49:03 ... the revision numbering is lost 10:49:41 AE: Would be great if we get the test suite published 10:49:57 ... is there a ball park date for holding the test fest 10:52:05 ED: Ball park date would be after SVG Open? 10:52:17 CL: Yeah, after it 10:52:27 ... would the test fest be a face-to-face meeting? 10:52:35 ED: I guess it would be useful 10:52:43 CL: September was mentioned 10:53:04 ... but I have a management meeting 15 - 17 Sep 10:53:14 ... something around that is ok 10:53:29 ... either the beginning or end is fine with me 10:53:42 DS: We are having a F2F before SVG Open 10:53:47 ... what are we doing there? 10:54:05 ED: We could have some time allocated for it 10:54:17 AE: We'd want this test fest to be the final one 10:54:21 ... so it could take some time 10:54:37 ... so at the F2F we should focus on getting the test suite 10:54:39 ... done 10:54:51 ED: So it sounds like we should work on tests 10:54:56 ... to get the suite done 10:55:04 ... at the F2F 10:55:55 AE: If we release a Beta 2 some time soon 10:56:08 ... we could work on the test suite 10:56:18 CL: Would be good to announce a Beta 3 at the F2F 10:56:50 ... I'm think the 20th - 24th Oct is the TP 10:57:06 ... one possibility is to organise the test fest near that 10:57:14 ... not sure if that is too far in advance 10:57:32 AG: Not a bad idea 10:57:48 CL: We'd be talking about the week around the 13th Oct 10:57:53 ... how long will we need? 10:57:59 ED: 4 - 5 days probably 10:58:17 AE: Are people good for going 2 weeks at a time 10:58:34 DS: I think being worn out before the TP might not be a good idea 10:58:43 CL: If we did the test fest Mon - Thur 10:58:54 ... it would give us 3 days before TPac 10:59:52 AE: Is the date mid Oct too late for publication of the spec 11:00:11 CL: Whether is too late depends on how many pass we have 11:00:16 ... at the test fest 11:00:51 ... traditionally they produce their implementation reprot 11:00:59 s/reprot/report/ 11:01:09 ... then request to go to PR 11:01:26 CL: [Explains process] 11:02:05 ... if we were in PR in Dec that's fine with me 11:02:20 ... it's just a notice to say we have 6 weeks to go 11:02:29 DS: We should really shoot for the end of the year 11:02:41 ED: In that case we should go with the end of Sep 11:03:20 AE: As CL said we may run the risk of not having 2 implementations for every feature 11:03:34 ... that said it would nice to have a report sooner or later 11:04:01 ... would be good task implementers where they are up to 11:04:22 ... but maybe if a staff person asked it would be good 11:04:56 ... so it sounds like Sep is probably the better time 11:05:04 ED: Do we want to decide on a location? 11:05:13 ... or do we want to discuss it at the next F2F 11:05:21 AE: Might be a bit tight at the F2F 11:06:05 DS: I'm happy to host or Andrew can you host? 11:06:34 AE: I'd be happy to host 11:06:47 CL: What about the week of the 29th Sep? 11:07:03 DS: Anytime around then is fine with me 11:07:41 AE: 29th sounds ok 11:07:52 ... we can decide on another call the exact location 11:07:54 ED: Sounds ok 11:08:20 RESOLUTION: We will hold a test fest on the 29th Sep to the 2nd Oct somewhere in North America 11:08:36 CL: We should announce that ASAP 11:08:47 ... and say that further details are soon to follow 11:10:03 AE: We should have time line for registering it for it 11:11:08 ACTION: Emmons to announce that we will he holding a test fest from the 29th Sep to 2nd Oct and that we will provide further details soon 11:11:08 Created ACTION-2080 - Announce that we will he holding a test fest from the 29th Sep to 2nd Oct and that we will provide further details soon [on Andrew Emmons - due 2008-07-10]. 11:12:17 http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/19480/svgF2Fnuremburg2008/ 11:12:40 Zakim, move to next agendum 11:12:40 agendum 2.

[Reads out part] 11:45:05 ... although it doesn't say anything about infinity 11:45:22 CM: We could add wording in that said 11:45:51 CM: If we could replace that "signalling NaN" text with something that says if an infinity or NaN is passed in as a float, then a certain exception is thrown 11:45:56 ED: I would prefer not to add the wording into A3.1 11:46:28 ... because it says "attribute property and normalisation".... 11:46:33 ... but I guess it's ok 11:46:47 ... if you consider a normalisation a call to any method 11:46:48 s/attribute property and normalisation/attribute/property normalisation/ 11:47:18 AG: Result? 11:47:22 ... add that wording? 11:47:28 ED: Yes we should add that wording 11:48:45 CM: What do implementations do at the moment for not supported error? 11:48:58 AE: I think that with the trait tests 11:49:06 ... we do what the current spec says 11:49:17 ...
