Any change requests? 19:04:17 AB: I realize the time is not convenient for some time zones and we can discuss that during the Any Other Business (AOB) agenda item. 19:04:41 Topic: Introductions 19:04:46 AB: we can take a few minutes for introductions. At a minimum, please say "hi" so we can start to recognize peoples' voices; would also be good to know if you are a newcomer/newbie to W3C (or not). 19:05:39 DS: I work for W3C 19:05:49 ... I expect to be an Editor 19:05:56 ... I helped create this WG 19:06:08 JS: I work for Nokia on Mozilla 19:06:17 ... been in WebApps for a while 19:06:33 zakim, unmute me 19:06:33 sangwhan should no longer be muted 19:06:42 SM: I work for Opera 19:06:46 ... mostly on TV 19:06:50 ... but some mobile 19:07:01 ... and DOM kinetics stuff 19:07:02 s/some/previously on/ 19:07:14 ... He's work out of Korea 19:07:22 zakim, mute me 19:07:22 sangwhan should now be muted 19:07:29 OP: I work for Mozilla 19:07:47 ... I also participate in WebApps, HTML and speech 19:08:02 CC: I work for Nokia 19:08:06 ... I'm new in W3C 19:08:22 DT: I go by "Tran" 19:08:30 ... been in W3C for a couple of years 19:08:37 ... HTML and DAP 19:08:40 ... work in mobile space 19:08:46 ... browser 19:09:09 s/browser/browser for Intel/ 19:09:14 MB: I work for Mozilla on mobile FF 19:09:29 ... fennec is the name of the project 19:09:38 Topic: Work Mode 19:09:46 AB: want to spend just a couple of minutes re the WG's Work Mode which is documented in ( http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/WorkMode ). 19:09:55 AB: this WG's Work Mode is based on the way the WebApps WG does its technical work which is mostly via e-mail. This is very different from a lot of W3C WGs and other Standards Organizations. 19:10:17 AB: one of my "pet peeves" is meetings for the sake of meetings so we will only have any meetings when there is a relatively clear need to do so. 19:10:33 s/any// 19:10:37 AB: the one point I want to emphasize is that Editors have significant freedom when writing a spec so if a spec is important to you, you should follow the latest Editor's Draft. 19:11:45 DS: we use commit first and then review 19:11:50 ... Editors write the spec 19:11:59 ... then expect people to read it from CVS 19:12:21 ... but we will only formally publish a spec after the group has had a chance to review it 19:12:46 ... If you find a problem with an Editor's Draft (ED), you will always have time to raise issues 19:13:01 ... I edit D3E spec 19:13:12 ... but am not an expert when it comes to touch interface events 19:13:27 ... as such, I am hoping to get inputs and content from other WG members 19:13:41 ... I definitely want to hear about other approaches 19:13:54 q+ 19:13:59 AB: any questions? 19:14:05 ack me 19:14:08 JS: are we going to use CVS or HG? 19:14:21 DS: we will probably use Mercurial 19:14:22 s/HG/Hg/ 19:14:50 ... I haven't used Mercurial 19:15:01 ... but if that's what people want, then that's what I'll do 19:15:16 JS: I can help as can others from Mozilla 19:16:12 AB: we use an explicit Call for Consensus e-mail to gather input on consensus for some issue or question 19:16:21 ... e.g "CfC to publish a document" 19:16:58 DS: to help move things quickly, I propose over the next month or so that I put together a draft or two 19:17:07 ... one for touch interface 19:17:15 ... and the other for higher-level stuff 19:17:28 ... I propose I start on those docs as soon as possible 19:17:29 q+ 19:17:36 ... Does that seem reasonable? 19:17:48 DT: what do you mean by "high level" 19:17:56 DS: things like "undo" or "zoom" 19:18:06 ... but not touch-start 19:18:14 ... or "pinch" which is a gesture 19:18:23 zakim, unmute me 19:18:23 sangwhan should no longer be muted 19:18:24 DT: where do UCs come into play? 19:18:53 ack sangwhan 19:19:07 SM: Tran asked the same question I was going to ask 19:19:20 ... is the plan to merge these two specs? 19:19:33 DS: I think keeping them separate makes sense 19:19:55 ... the higher intentional events need to work with different modalities 19:20:20 ... but the split or not is a bit premature and I want to listen to other's input 19:20:30 ... but think it will help during bootstapping 19:20:41 Topic: Charter 19:20:42 s/bootstapping/bootstrapping/ 19:20:57 AB: before we move to UCs, Reqs, Landscape, ... want to take a quick look at what the charter states as in scope ( http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/charter/#scope ) and what is explicitly Out of Scope ( http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/charter/#out-of-scope ) 19:21:13 AB: Doug wrote the charter so I'd like him to briefly talk about scope 19:22:28 DS: the out of scope constraint is because of concerns about Intellectual Property 19:22:52 ... The charter describes 4 layers 19:23:06 ... physical, gestural, representational and intentional 19:23:28 ... Physical: about a user doing something directly 19:23:57 ... Gestural: physical action e.g. two fingers that move together; these events are not in scope 19:24:24 ... gestures like pinch are common on various devices 19:25:17 ... Representational: the highest level of abstraction in the event model; e.g. zooming in, panning 19:25:32 ... Intentional: defines what the user "intended" to do 19:25:52 ... e.g. "the user intended to zoom in/out" 19:26:02 ... In scope: Physical + Representational 19:26:20 ... for example, can zoom in thru different physical actions 19:26:43 ... in some devices, physical events can be different than other devices 19:26:52 ... We need to define these two separately 19:27:34 DS: I think it is OK if we talk about gestures 19:27:45 proscriptive :) 19:27:55 ... but we can't define then in a prescriptive or normative way 19:28:32 DS: the W3C Patent Policy defines the framework for normative text 19:28:55 ... If we talk about gestures, we must do so in a non-normative way 19:29:14 ... For example, gestures can be included in a non-normative Landscape document 19:29:47 smaug_ has joined #webevents 19:29:56 ... A normative definition of gestures is explicitly out of scope 19:30:24 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/12/08-webevents-minutes.html timeless 19:30:28 AB: any comments on this? 19:30:41 DT: so the specs will deal with which levels? 19:30:59 DS: one for Physical and one spec for Representational 19:31:20 http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Group/Drafts/1.1/intent-based-events.html 19:31:36 http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/Landscape 19:32:27 DS: look at the Intent Based Events spec 19:32:32 ... it was done in 2003 19:32:47 ... I anticipate us defining something like these events 19:33:10 ... for example, undo, drag 19:33:21 ... some of these could be modal depending on the context or mode 19:33:49 DT: is Apple on this call 19:34:04 AB: the WG participants are: http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=45559&public=1 19:34:39 DS: it's possible that as we proceed, we may be able to get other Members 19:34:49 ... to join as they see where we are headed 19:35:23 Topic: Use Cases and requirements 19:35:32 AB: Cathy sent some use cases and requirements to the list on November 18 ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/2010OctDec/0005.html ) 19:35:36 s/requirements/Requirements/ 19:36:07 AB: any comments on Cathy's input? 19:36:42 AB: please send comments as well as other UCs and Reqs inputs to the list. For the purposes of gathering this type of non-normative data, I don't think our charter constrains our scope. 19:37:00 q+ 19:37:56 JS: re Cathy's input, it mentions "tactile" and I don't think that is in scope 19:37:59 -Matt_Brubeck 19:38:04 DS: the charter is silent on that 19:38:08 q+ 19:38:12 ... I think we can talk about it 19:38:14 ack me 19:38:34 That's correct. 19:38:40 It's not supposed to be there. 19:38:46 I'll remove it and repost. 19:38:48 AB: we should consider that part of Cathy's input as void 19:38:55 ... it wasn't meant to be included 19:38:57 q- 19:39:15 DS: so you want to exclude it? 19:39:31 AB: yes we want to exclude it because we are pursuing that in the CSS WG 19:40:50 DS: If the CSS WG is going to define a haptics module, we should make sure we talk to them 19:40:55 +Matt_Brubeck 19:40:57 AB: I agree with that 19:41:03 cchan4 has joined #webevents 19:41:38 [ DS is asking for a liason ] 19:42:02 AB: anything else on UCs and Reqs for today? 19:42:15 DS: I want to encourage people to submit more UCs and reqs 19:42:25 ... the more data we have and the earlier on, the better 19:42:47 Topic: Landscape 19:42:55 AB: Doug created a Landscape wiki ( http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/Landscape ) that includes links to relevant resources. 19:43:16 DS: I would like to start on one doc right away 19:43:36 ... want to talk about two things: 19:43:52 ... 1) does anyone object to me starting on the first doc? 19:44:00 ... 2) does anyone object to two docs? 19:44:01 I do not object to two documents; and I support two documents being developed concurrently now 19:44:24 Dzung_Tran_ has joined #webevents 19:44:28 DS: first, does anyone object me starting to edit right away? 19:44:28 I support parallel editing of the two 19:44:51 AB: I hear no objections 19:44:52 I agree, two documents sounds good 19:45:04 DS: also want to know if anyone wants to help? 19:45:05 help how? :) 19:45:15 OP: you mean, does anyone have the time :-) 19:45:27 eek 19:45:33 DS: looking for a co-editor 19:45:44 i'll gladly review, and if you don't mind using a piratepad or googledocs for interim bits, i can do some live edits with you 19:46:01 RESOLUTION: the group supports Doug starting an Editor's Draft of the spec right away 19:46:18 I would be willing to co-edit 19:46:49 DS: the 2nd question, are there any objections to starting with 2 specs (and possibly merging in the future)? 19:47:17 AB: No objections made 19:47:43 RESOLUTION: the group agrees Doug can start with two specs now 19:47:59 AB: who is willing to help with the editing 19:48:13 I will need to internally check with our other contacts who are not present here at the moment 19:48:58 DS: this isn't a one-time shot; in the future editorial help can be added too 19:50:07 AB: it's good to see Doug is ready to go! 19:50:14 DS: want to get us started right away 19:50:19 AB: that's excellent 19:50:43 Topic: Any other Business 19:51:27 AB: how about a voice conf? 19:51:44 DS: I like them because they help with organizing the work 19:52:11 ... I don't see an immediate need for one that we need to schedule now 19:53:43 AB: people should contribute to the wiki docs like the Landscape 19:53:57 DS: agree; want this to be a group effort 19:54:07 -cathy 19:54:19 ... if there are other docs, I'd like to get them 19:54:32 AB: yes, I have some resources I'll add to the Landscape doc 19:54:49 + +1.781.266.aaee - is perhaps cathy 19:54:58 DS: we must have broad support to make this work 19:55:13 JS: want to talk about time slot 19:55:22 DS: this can be challenging 19:56:00 AB: this can be real difficult 19:56:06 ... think we need a poll 19:56:52 ACTION: barstow work with Doug on a voice conference time of day that works for most people 19:56:53 Created ACTION-1 - Work with Doug on a voice conference time of day that works for most people [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-12-15]. 19:57:07 JS: is this a bad time for anyone? 19:57:11 ... it is good for me 19:57:22 SM: it starts at 04:00 in Korea 19:57:26 s/4/5/ 19:57:29 OP: this is a good time for me too 19:57:54 DS: Sangwhan, would earlier to better for you? 19:58:02 ... like 3 hours earlier? 19:58:04 yes 19:58:28 SM: 2 hours would be better and 3 hours even better 19:58:42 AB: and 2-3 hours earlier for the FI guys? 19:58:44 JS: ok 19:58:47 OP: ok 19:59:02 AB: 2-3 hours would be preferred for me 19:59:25 DS: so if 3 hours earlier, then 11:00 Boston 19:59:31 that makes it 8am cali 19:59:35 or seattle 19:59:36 ...
