<sharper> Distribution Lists http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Distribution_Table_for_UM4A
yeyha: 15th july for online symposium - need to distribute the call to as many people as possible - as has cristos and yehya and luz and klaus
Sharper: as many people as possible to contribute and distribute and add lists - justin and vivienne to distribute in australia
yehya: has a question - are scientific committee members are allowed to submit papers as well?
sharper: yes they are
<sharper> http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Distribution_Table_for_UM4A
sharper: we are just doing the distribution plans for the user modelling lists - could yeliz contribute to some of the,
yeliz: yes i will be doing it in one or two days time
<yeliz> sorry for being late
yeyha: who will be inviting the members to the comm system
sharper: it is the job of the chairs to create the accounts for the users - simon to help on friday afternoon
shadi: open-conf configured by simon before, shadi helped this time as well - please check that everything works ok beforehand and get settings documented
sharper: agrees to documentation - add to list of items to do on the wiki
yehya: i have put my questions forward and ask that everyone distribute widely
sharper: thanks to all involved for pushing this forward ahead of time - good to get it done ahead of time
Markel: w4a was amazing - seriously, was very good papers and submissions and overall quality - lots of rdwg participants - very active participation between the w4a and the 23c and we had dinner and talked a lot and maybe attract new people
sharper: agree with markel and not sure if we are looking to recruit more members, but we had some interest from the ibm people in brazil
<kmatausc> congratulation
<markel> W4A proceedings are located at the ACM Digital library
shadi: thanks to w4a for the rdwg dinner, this is unrelatred to rdwg but i thought the papers in the w4a was of a high quality and how can we make the connections between the w3c and the w4a a little more - just thoughts - maybe the w4a proceedings could be crossed referenced in the rdwg work
<markel> http://dl.acm.org/event.cfm?id=RE143&CFID=218514987&CFTOKEN=52060814
sharper: totally agree - there should be some way of cross referencing and cross pricing / collaboration and markel and yeliz can work it out and get more dissemination working
davidsloan: great to hear the w4a was a success - some idea for formalising the w4a/w3c cross is some special research sessions at the w4a of specific rdwg sessions - the idea of linking of the conference from w4a to rdwg would be good if possible - maybe have a w4a microsite on the rdwg page - all part of our remit for making public the issue of accessibility research
shadi: likes david's ideas - perhaps also see if some of the ideas of the w4a could feed into the rdwg future topics - interaction could go both ways
markel: there could be some cross linking from the w4a and the rdwg
<shadi> +1
yeliz: agrees with all of the above - it would also be good to formalize it otherwise we say it but not do it - perhaps some of the authors of papers in the w4a could be invited into the rdwg to present or participate or as a discussion session
<shadi> +1
davidsloan: every year after the w4a a report is written about the conferecne for the acm news letter - perhaps this could be placed on the rdwg website
markel: what is the current situation with the metrics
shadi: the editors did a wonderful job on all the comments and the w3c staff contact (me) is to take the next step - put it into the template and checking the publication rules and times - logistical steps on shadi's part
markel: thanks for the update
shadi: explains he did not get to it yet
<sharper> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/47076/mobile-public-release/
sharper: the mobile note status is that i went through it and made the changes that needed making, mainly camera ready changes - sent out a url to a survey - needs to be completed by next week by the rdwg members
<yeliz> Do I need to respond as well?
<yeliz> I thought as the editor I don't need to respond
<yeliz> :)
shadi to deputise for sharper - the mobile note is ready for comment (people can agree or disagree) - so far only one person has responded - simon believes it is ready to go - everyone needs to respond asap
<kmatausc> ok
<yeliz> OK, I just did
<yeliz> :)
sharper: adding this to the list to refresh people's memories - does anyone have anything they want to say
shadi: is the deadline the 29th of may?
sharper: yes
davidsloan: we have not got any further than our last report but should have more time soon to take it to the next level before sending back to rdwg for discussion
<kmatausc> Hi, can I "talk" now?
<sharper> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/47076/mobile-public-release/
<sharper> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/47076/E2R-Draft/
<sharper> yes please go ahead
sharper: puts up link to survey - peter is also only responder and is happy with it - everyone else needs to comment
<kmatausc> Hi, thx for “listening to me” :) Although addicted to technical matters, I’m a social scientist.
sharper: again, voting required by may 29th
<kmatausc> Additionally thx to Shadi for helping us by publishing the Easy-to-Read symposium report.
<kmatausc> Yes, we received one feedback. We ourselves didn’t answer ;) We would appreciate further notes. Are there critical voices? Did we forget anything? Should we expand any sector?
<kmatausc> Again, you can comment till May 29.
<sharper> Thanks, we are awaiting survey feedback on this due next week
kirsten: requiring more feedback on easy to read
sharper: any further comments on easy to read? no further comments
<kmatausc> Yes, we tried our best but it would be helpful to get more detailed feedback.
<kmatausc> We will collect your feedback, integrate it in the expanded version and will resend it to Shadi. Shadi would you then please publish it again?
sharper: read and comments in survey required - is anyone ok with the survey mechanisms - or is anyone not ok?
<shadi> sure
sharper: any other business?
... next week will be voting on the surveys and completing some outstanding
work
shadi: are you confirming you will not be here
sharper: no, shadi to chair for me
