<annika> hi everyone, I'm on the call but my mic is broken.
<shadi> [[please continue to remind people to review the Metrics Report]]
Shawn: The deadline for comments to the Metrics W3C Note was extended till the 5th October. Everyone please contact people who might be interested and ask them to comment by Friday.
<shadi> [[3 commenters so far http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wai-rd-comments/]]
Sharper: New topics are welcome to discuss for next topic for the next agenda.
Sharper: Yehya interested in user modeling
<shawn> http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/User_modelling
Mark:Some ideas on [@@] Shall I just add them to the wiki?
Sharper:Yes, please.
Sharper: Think we talked through that enough the week before last.
Sharper: There is in the wiki a topic to collect
information about the alternative conference publishing,
... Alternative conference publishing need to be decided/discussed.
Sharper:None to discuss.
Sharper:News for the two upcoming symposiums?
Shawn: tc4r: 12 submissions. some borderline - good stuff but needs work to really contribute well. Considering replying with comments and an invitation to re-submit edited paper. Want WG's feedback on that approach.
<Luz>I find it a good idea.
Sharper:works for me.
Klaus: Further details/recommendations shall be send to the authors for the camara ready version.
<Zakim> annika, you wanted to ask: How many papers will be in the symposium?
Shawn: had 11 for metrics; 5 for mobile ('cause only 5 good ones). Probably will accept all good ones. Not sure how many that is - reviews are due tomorrow.
<annika> ok
Sharper:Moving papers between the two symposiums?
Shawn:So far none [update after telecon: probably at least one]; however, think some who submitted to tc4r will also submit separately to e2r -- e.g., one paper introduced broader project and said this paper addresses the tc aspect, think will submit broader to e2r. I don't expect any submissed to e2r would be better in tc4r; however, we are set up to handle that if so. Klaus will review all.
<Klaus> We will screen e2r papers on the 10th-12th and see if we should move!
Shawn:disappointed some people who said they were going to submit didn't. Talked to two: one was bad timing, other has some input, but not enough for a paper -- just a couple paragraphs. Would like to actively encourage people to send additional contributions to mailing list before the symposium - including research summaries, perspectives, questions. OK?
Sharper:Good. Others?
<annika> annika: agree with shawn. We should invite people when they register for the symposium.
Sharper: Mobile topic and accessibility and RoadMap. We'll have draft in 3 weeks. (can minute that, then hold me accountable :) Also, Judy Brewer, WAI Director, wants to comment.
<annika> annika: was there a decision on other options for conference calls systems?
Shawn: Shadi looking at other conference call options. if have any input, please let him know. Plan to try it out in the coming weeks - before Nov symposium
<annika> ok
Sharper: Is there a limit to Google hang out?
Luz: Yes, Google Handout has a maximum of 9 persons to share the conversation with (10 persons in total).
<Kerstin> Other question: Is it planned to invite reviewers from the TC symposium to the next telecon?
<annika> annika suggests to have separate calls for the reviewers and not mix it with the weekly telecon.
Shawn: Agree not in the main RDWG telecon.
... Who is involved in discussion of papers? Only symposium chairs, or all of
Scientific Committee (reviewers), or subset as Program Committee?
Sharper:Usually discussion via private e-mail between Chairs & individual reviewers on specific papers, then Chairs make decision. Do you want others involved?
Shawn:I'm happy to have additional input, although I'm aware of scheduling complications with more people. Perhaps set time based on Chairs' availability, then invite SC if they want?
Sharper:sounds good
<Kerstin> ok. thank you for this useful info.
<shawn> Reminder to all: Forward to specific people interested in evaluation http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wai-rd/2012Sep/0033.html
Sharper: Add/suggest/discuss in the wiki alternative places to publish
